I always somehow find my way back to playing No Man’s Sky. No matter what I do, game I play, activity inside or outside of gaming, NMS is always there to play and chill. Sometimes I go on creative and spend a week amassing the perfect color coordinated team of ships, crew, frigates, and freighter.

So this isn’t for everyone, but personally, I just looked up a guide. I didn’t do like a whole walkthrough or anything but I went and looked at which zones were designed for which levels so at least I knew I was fighting stuff I was supposed to be fighting. If I hadn’t I 100% would have wandered around in much higher level areas than I was supposed to until I got so frustrated I quit playing.
I like the gameplay but have no interest in the fromsoft style of bashing my head against super strong enemies until I beat them. Really hard fights are fine but all the fights being super hard because I walked off in the wrong direction was not for me. Once I knew I was in an area for my level I had way more fun even though it was still really hard.
