I think this game will have more story focus to it than no man's sky, which is why I'm hesitant to make such a snap decision as I've barely gotten into the story.

That's a fair point. Could you do me a favor and let me know how it is?

I plan to play some more today, so I will happily give you my impressions once I've gotten into it a bit further.

Update: I played for around 8 hours yesterday and can now say that once you get through the whole "tutorial" bit of the game, the story starts to become more evident, and I no longer feel like it's a worse version of no man's sky. After the first hour or two (depending on how quickly you play), it starts having the type of Bethesda RPG vibes you'd expect from a Bethesda RPG. I've been enjoying it.

Thank you. I might try it out via game pass.
