Morphite
Set in a distant future where humanity has colonized the far reaches of space, Morphite follows the story of Myrah Kale, a young woman whose life takes a sudden turn when a simple mission develops into an epic interstellar journey revealing her mysterious past and relation to a coveted substance called Morphite. Myrah will voyage to the furthest corners of space and explore uncharted procedurally-generated planets, each with diverse landscapes and teeming with exotic flora and fauna. With the help of a scanner, Myrah will sell biological information for ship, suit and weapon upgrades. Inside Myrah’s vessel, players will engage in random encounters with real-time space combat, trade with other travelers across the galaxy and navigate outer space with Morphite’s easy-to-use Starmap system.

I'm only two hours into this game, but it's currently scratching the "No Man's Sky" itch better than No Man's Sky in some ways - mostly by virtue of having a narrative and non-random upgrades. It's very much a low-polygon game, and lacks NMS' impressive space-to-surface mechanics (and most of the other features, like base-building and your own customisable vehicles), but its gameplay loop is actually more satisfying. Also, it's a fraction of the size on disk.

This is a vibe. It's an audiovisual vibe disguised as an unpolished NMS-alike. Great game to put on while talking with friends on Discord about something completely unrelated. Good to detox after work. It slices, it dices, it treats the symptoms of suburban depression!

First time walkthrough took place during 2018 on iPhone 6s, now 8 years later I finished it on Steam Deck. Beautiful planets, and enemies and gameplay elements. Main event is looking for minerals, scanning plants/minerals/equipment on a Ships and selling, upgrading weapons/ship/suit. Noting too complicated, but time consumption is real. As for glitches. When I acquired an automatic rifle, when I pick it, I couldn’t select another weapons/equipment, and other one – two times when I was making a purchase I was pushed in some room with NPC inside ship, exit to main menu and rejoining fixed it.
I finally found for what is this hole in the walls on a planet, after final mission you get Morphite transformation options – so you can go in them and find something.
I would give 7/10 for this game.

You can find some preset in Controls, user-maded for Steam Deck fyi.
