No Man's Sky is on such iffy ground for me. On one side, I love what they're going for with the exploration aspect, and how they're working with creating the species (such as basing the evolution of a species on aspects such as atmosphere), but on the other side, it feels more like science or math simulation than a game, and I feel like the more game-like they try to make it, the less I'm going to enjoy it. They've given me the impression that it started off as a simulation and now they're just tacking on game features so now no one will enjoy it because it's not game enough for the gamers and the people interested in the science will get annoyed with the game features.
It feels so much like a more casual "Elite", which I'm cool with, although I'm still slightly sad Elite has gone to Xbox One rather than PS4. Again, amazing on Oculus, could be great on Morpheus.
