No Man's Sky has finally got to the point where the price / feature set balance is worth it so I bought it. (The fact that I needed more distractions this week helped.)
Anyway it's super pretty, and the gameplay and plot are engaging enough that I already have 13 hours put in in 3 days. It's definitely worth it now because it's essentially Starbound with amazing graphics. I paid $20 for Starbound. $25 for NMS is definitely a good price.
Would very much not pay $60 tho.
