To answer both you and drook
The gameplay has the best space flight model of any game out there right now, bar none.
There's missions to do, ranks to gain, money to earn, ships to buy, fines to pay off, schmucks to whack for money, etc.
You can basically do what you like within the confines of the game world. There's no story arc or anything.
I play on Xbox One X, in 4K. It looks delicious. Frontier Developments seems pretty active in releasing updates and there are plenty of people playing on PS4, so I suspect it's probably fine.
As for NMS - now that's a game that conflicts me. I absolutely 100% adore the aesthetic, but the gameplay and UX makes me hate it. The game is basically one micro fetch quest after another, the combat is absolute crap, and - and this is the worst sin - flying around in your spaceship is just awful. The inventory system is dreadful and the UI around it is worse.
But I still fire it up and enjoy it, because it just looks and feels and sounds so amazing.
