So ... What Now? (lemmy.world)

I just recently got into NMS just before the Aquarius update. I've really enjoyed things so far, but I'm at a weird point now. Every one of my primary missions has some vague objective that I can't actually complete. The story (as it is) seems to have completely stalled out. I'm left to repetitious side missions like the Base Computer Archives and Settlers.

Is there anything else in terms of story, or am I on my own now? I just figured there would be some sort of resolution to Artemis, Atlas, or any of the really cool and interesting plots that seem to be going on here.

No Man's Sky gets regular content updates that add new stuff to the game - graphical updates like new water behaviours for example, new quests, new cosmetics, and new mechanics. Aquarius was the latest update and added fishing and a bunch of fishing related items, quests, and cosmetics.

I've had the game since launch and highly recommend it now. It's very chill, and very pretty. A nice way to unwind after work. When not on a quest, it's a very unguided experience; the trick, I've found, is to set little goals for yourself and then focus on those, one at a time.

The whole message of the game is "the journey is what's important, the destination never existed at all", and the gameplay loop reflects that.
