I guess No Man's Sky qualifies as a space simluator where you can visit endless planets. That's a cool concept for sure, and the game does deliver on that promise, even from when it first launched years ago.
No Man's Sky probably appeals also to those who really enjoy the Minecraft type games, where you gather resources to build new things.
The update looks like visual changes to things. Making the planets more exciting, I don't think that's a goal of the game, as you can land in one spot of the planet, and it's very similar to every other spot you land on other than water or land. I wish No Man's Sky would bring in planets with many ecosystems like Earth has. Then it could be really interesting to find a gem planet like that.
But in reality, we've only really seen through satellite photography, 8 planets within our solar system and only one of those is as unique and varied as Earth. The others are mostly wastelands with no life at all it seems.
