As someone who last tried No Man's Sky out about 5 years ago, it looks like it's time to give it another shot.

Thank you very much for your reply, it's very appreciated.

The collecting part just feels tedious and boring, but I just started a new game a few minutes ago and it's not terrible. I've just played so many resource collecting games that it's just annoying to me, but it's not the end-all.

As far as crafting goes I just find it confusing. The tutorial takes you to your damaged ship and it's just weird that you have to click inside your ships cargo space and it's suddenly like a crafting bench. The same goes for the exo-suit. It would've made more sense to build a crafting bench to set nearby and go that route.

I do think I'll get use to the systems in this game, it's just a lot of new territory thrown at me at once. I'm just use to other crafting games, but I do need to be more open to accepting how this game plays.

I do appreciate the mention of the options menu, but I'm just going to play the standard / normal game and learn what to do.

No problem! I'm always happy to help new players to one of my favorite games! ๐Ÿ˜€ Enjoy your return to the game, and you can always message me if you hit a road block or something.

I've just finished a 2 hour session and I'm enjoying the game. There are a few things that are strange, but I'm slowly figuring things out. I'm getting more use to the inventory and crafting so it's not as frustrating as it was before.
