It reminds me of Minecraft honestly with the free updates, and procedurally generated open worlds. I used to play Minecraft a lot (I still do but not as much), and NMS kinda gives me the same vibes, especially the exploration and building part.

I remember having to afk in the anomaly and someone just gave me a stack of fusion ignitors when I came back. I just started playing then (I think less than 15hours into the game) and I was really happy lmao. It made me want to be the guy that gives out those free ignitors one day.
