Well it's likely, the expeditions make everyone go to the same spots and this one is particular is supposed to be done without hyperdrive, so everyone is going to visit the same 5 systems and their planets.

I would say at this point it's much better. the recent updates have helped to mitigate the issue of planets looking the same a ton. For the gameplay loop, At least for me, is very similar too launch (Go to new planet, do your preferred task to earn money. For me i use my freighter and my crew too collect goods and trade them in different systems and i also Archive animals and flora. And then I move to another system).

But they have also added more to do in that cycle too. For example, I typically break up the gameplay loop by returning to my base i built and tending to the NPCs that live there and also to use the facilities i constructed. I also manage a fleet from my freighter to send them on missions. On top of that there is the Anomaly which now has a ton of community things to do. There's also different factions to join and get your rank up with.

It's definitely improved a ton, i would say with it's nature though it may not be for everyone

No man's sky does an amazing job of looking pretty like this. I think i'd actively have to try to make a screenshot of the game look bad

I immediately thought it was that scene when I saw the screenshot, such a bittersweet moment.

The release wasn't that bad, just massively overhyped by the publisher.

But now it is a game that deserves such hype. It has massive content, while often being around $25. At that price, it's a steal.
