Looks scornfully at Starfield.

While I enjoy it and have several thousand hours logged at this point, I hesitate to actively recommend it. I feel like it's on an upswing, but it's still flawed. A lot of mechanics are opaque, the learning curve is a sheer cliff face, and there's about a decade of cruft, bugs, workarounds and technical debt. That said, most of the updates since Odyssey have been a net improvement IMO, and the community is, for the most part, actually really welcoming and supportive.

Ah, fair enough.

I'll keep this all in mind.

I played Elite Dangerous a lot. Its tough to get into but i feel like the economy is much better now. Like when i first started making money was a pain but now they've added a few new ways to do it that arent as grindy. I do exploration mostly so its a space flight simulator where i just go land on random planeta and moons and visit pretty places to see the views. Never done combat much so i cant comment on it but it does exist and has a big following.

There's a new one, right? Or am I thinking of the old game from the late 1990s to early 2000s?

Elite Dangerous is newer its like a full simulation of the milky way and has a big background simulation its an MMO kinda but i play in single player mode lol.
