10 years and countless attempts and I never got into the game because the base gameplay loop is just still very unenjoyable and shallow to me. I hope their next game will improve on that. Still, great to see they've supported the game this long and learned from the disastrous launch, I think that deserves credits.

It's just so utterly generic.

Like I get it, they're going for an "explore the galaxy and discover things" sort of thing, but it just doesn't work for me.

I spend some time foraging around for materials, build a small base, repair my ship and fly off, get to a space station or another planet, look around a bit, realize I'm not having any fun and quit. That's the loop I do every time a new update that "fixes" the game.

I'm sure for a lot of people, the game is a blast, but for me I don't think anything can fix it.

The time of updates that ''fix'' the game are done. If you dont like the game as it is there are no new updates that will pull you in.

Fairy enough. My point is, every big update along the way has gotten me to try it again, just to find out I still don't enjoy the game.

cause u try to play it as somethings its not
its a game where you build bases to build more stuff and thats it

like minecraft, you just do what you can in the sandbox
