My vote is on No Man's Sky, just because it gets so much praise while we know very little about it.

Shocked at the people saying The Order though. Never thought overhyped games would see articles telling you not to preorder it and almost a years worth of negative articles for the most part.

I think The Order is one of those games that is currently being singled out by the media and put in a very bad light. It is very far from overhyped, which would need to involve not just forums goers but the mass media as well, ala TitanFall and Destiny. The Order does not have the media on it's side. The media almost seems dead set against it.

There's enough info about No Man's Sky to get an idea of what to expect. That info is fragmented though. It will live up to what the devs are saying about it but I don't know if it would live to someone's expectation of it that knows next to nothing about it. The creators reference the souls series a lot and I expect the game to be around the same difficulty as them as well as some aspects. For example, if your ship is destroyed, you'll have to use an escape pod to the nearest planet and you lose everything your ship was carrying. You'll have to buy a entire new ship from the planet you are stuck on to replace the old ship.

Is there any combat or is mostly gathering resources? I want to give the game a shot and am now trying to not watch anything related to it so I can keep expectations in check.

I think it looks interesting, but I just think it gets a ton of praise and unfortunately the media will ride it so hard until release that people's expectations will be way too high and the chances of being disappointed will be great, even if the game itself is a very good game, similar to what happened with Destiny.

There's as mucn combat or gathering resources as you want. It's up to you really. From what I understand, the areas you start in is really for upgrading you and buying a ship. You can stay in those areas as long as you want or move on. It's like the souls games where you can can keep building up your character or move onto the more difficult areas where the good stuff is. You can fight just about anything from different police factions, the main bad guys to pirates. You start in the outskirts of the galaxy and you're supposed to get closer to the center of the galaxy which gets more difficult and rewarding as you get further in. The creator said something about it taking over 2000 hours to reach the center. You'll feel very alone like how it is in the souls games because there's basically no npc's. I don't know if we could do full on pvp or not. From the sound of it though, you can.
