No Man's Sky - Exploring a 60s-Scifi-cover themed universe (post-release thread)

Gotta try this since the grind put me off the game for good after trying it a couple of times. Another thing that I’m surprised by (and don’t see people mentioning) is that the graphics in this game are really not that good. I was hoping to be wowed by the experience of moving from planet to space and back, but instead the textures are kinda yucky, the skies are a mess, the feeling of moving through the atmosphere is very underwhelming. Maybe this was impressive back in 2016, I dunno, but I have a feeling I would never have been impressed with the graphics in this had I seen it back then either. The procedural elements seem to determine that the textures and objects, heck the whole thing just can’t be made to look very good.
