That makes sense, it sounds like you just want a game to offer you a challenge vs being a chill experience. NMS, Satisfactory, Minecraft etc are very much not that game.

Your other comments made it sound like you don't value a game unless it's a competitive multiplayer experience.

Those weren't my comments, but I do agree with them. I like MC and Satisfactory. I don't like NMS. I like chill games, but I don't generally like ones that make you grind the same crap continuously for seemingly no reward or reason.

NMS is not a perfect game. People are allowed to dislike it without disliking and single specific attribute of it. I don't like NMS probably for similar reasons to not liking Starfield. It's just pointless junk to keep me playing longer, without any reason for me to actually do so. What am I going to get out of continuing? Seeing more similar randomly generated stuff?

Yep, I completely agree. Hated star field, loved NMS. No idea why. Some games just click.
