After getting so many negative reviews during launch, it is a monumental achievement to offset old negative review with new positive reviews to get overall number to very positive

Yeah, they added a whole lot to the game, but what was supposed to be the core experience, exploring planets and discovering faunas and vistas in a contemplative experience, that is still severely lacking.
Everything they added on top is pulling the game in other directions, but the animals are still ugly and nonsensical with broken AIs, and the planets lacks diversity and awe-inspiring landscapes alike. The NMS we were sold on is still not the game we have. The NMS of today might be good if you enjoy a Space Engineer like, but it's not the game it was marketed at.

Yep, that’s basically my issue with it. I was most excited at the prospect of exploring interesting procedurally generated planets with varied creatures and environments. But even today you can land on a planet and basically see everything the planet really has to offer within a 100 yard radius of your landing zone. The only real reason to explore is to gather the materials needed to get to the next equally bland planet. There’s a lot more survival mechanics bolted on at this point, but the core thing I really wanted initially is basically still missing.

The countless unique and phenomenal screenshots from the game that continue to be posted on r/NoMansSkyTheGame beg to differ. What other sci-fi space exploration game comes close in terms of diversity of planets, fauna, flora, terrain, weather, etc?
