Looking for a spaceship/sci fi game to play. Any thoughts? (kbin.social)

I’m a massive sci fi fan and played the ever loving shit out of Star Citizen for a while there. Loved the 6 degrees of freedom and the capability to be a person or a starship.

I know Starfield is coming in September and I’m excited for what is has to offer but in the interim does anybody have a sci fi/star fighter game they can recommend? I kickstarted Everspace 2 so I can give that a go and I’m almost done with the current No Man’s Sky expedition

There's always No Man's Sky, I haven't played it for a year or so but I know they have added a ton of new stuff in the last few updates. Maybe not completely fulfilling, but could kill some time pleasantly

I always give it a go but the loop winds up losing me within 10 hours of play or so. Love the art and idea behind it but struggle with the gameplay :/

Someone once described No Man's Sky is as "wide as the sea, deep as a puddle."

That sums it up perfectly for me. It's a gorgeous, immense game with nothing of substance to do. I've tried returning to it several times, and each time I get bored in a few hours.

I felt that way at first, but ever since the big turning point update it's gotten a lot more layered and complex, to the point where I've gone from underwhelmed at the options to overwhelmed at the number of things I could be doing.

I'm willing to give it another try. Worst case it's a few hours spent enjoying colorful images before getting bored.
