NMS is a fantastic game in many respects but it is not perfect and its flaws will definitely make it divisive among gamers. What "flaws" am I talking about? Well the game requires a lot of farming and doesn't teach much, meaning players have to learn by trial and error. No hand holding/proper tutorials here. This also makes the game quite slow and the early stages can be kind of painful. Painful and tedious enough to put off many players.
Nonetheless, if you like exploration games and manage to get into its intensive "resource fetching" loop, there's a lot of fun to have and wonderful discoveries await. Just don't expect a frantic and fast space game!
