I started playing around 2022, so I don't have a point of reference for some of your points. They did overhaul space stations visually, but they are mostly the same functionally system to system. I can't remember if they made multi biome planets because frankly, I rarely land on the same planet twice. Again, they did revamp the appearances of land and water biomes to make them more interesting as well.

To me, No Man's Sky is more about breadth and discovery rather than depth and simulation. I have come back to the game a number of times because of interesting expeditions or the addition of new mechanics like piracy or organic ships.

It's not a game for everyone, and it doesn't do any one thing better than any other game, but it's a great experience if you want a solo space sandbox experience.
