This is a cautious recommend.

Other than echoing the obvious crappy PC lauch, devs lying about certain features, and the highly repetative gameplay - I still like this game.

I enjoy No Man's Sky in a similar way I enjoy Skyrim; to get lost in the environment you're exploring and just zen out; the problem is that the locations on any planet you explore are predicable and arguably boring:

An empty outpost here; grab some tech
A drop pod there, grab a backpack upgrade,
A terminal station over here, sell 2 or 3 green items for credits for which all you can really buy is materials and a potentially better spaceship. There is no story like in Fallout 4, no scripted events, no real NPC other than the funny Cat-Frog space merchants.

And even despite that I still like this game. Why?

There is something to value about the experience of being lost on an Alien world with no one but yourself, in a way, like a psychological test, you may find new planets and locations, but you may also find something about yourself.
