No Man's Sky

I think that's a fair assessment. NMS's gameplay is broad, not deep whereas something like Starfield is deep, not broad. If you don't like the sandbox parts of the game, like base building, I can understand why it's not your favorite. That being said, I think it's worth revisiting from time to time to check out the new features and expeditions.

I've played every expedition and will usually play that save for a little bit after the expedition is over, building bases, maxing out my freighter, etc. Then I move on to another game until the next major update or expedition. Overall it's a fairly chill game and the community is nice.
