+1 (Destiny)
I've put about 8ish hours into it at this point. I think they have a super solid base to work from. The basic UI, and getting people up to speed, needs improvement. It suffers from the minecraft-esque onboarding effect. I really shouldn't have to look up stuff on the web to play, but I have (once) already. And found out that I'm "randomly generated" stuck in my first solar system until I can find a material to make fuel to get to the next system. Due to my own ignorance, the game let me screw myself. :/
That said, so far it's an amazing piece of technical work and a taste of what is to come in the future.
That last sentence of yours really resonates with me. I get the feeling as I'm playing NMS that I'm peering through a portal into the future of video gaming. I spent an hour farting around on an island today and it was glorious.
