My comment was directed towards this though, and not what you mentioned ...

i still think its just as boring as when it released

... I was challenging the before and after nature that the OP was commenting about, especially after all the new content that was added to NMS over the years.

When I mentioned sandbox that was because I was trying to determine if he's a 'guided path' versus 'sandbox' type of player, and maybe that's what might be driving his boredom factor throughout the life of NMS, versus the before and after nature comparison.

As far as your comment goes (see below), none of that talks towards the boredom of the NMS game, just a similarity to other survival games, as well as mentioning another sandbox game that you thought was better.

There’s no voiceover work to be spoken of. You’re constantly just reading dialog and menus. The loop isn’t that different from almost any other open world survival crafting game, except it has spaceships you can fly from planet to space - just like in Space Engineers an arguably better space sandbox game that’s actually a sandbox.
