No. Every game doesnt have to be the same.
The size of no mans sky is disproportionate. Most of its areas will go unseen and unused by players. What is the point of that in the grand scheme? None. So, theres no reason for other companies to do the same.
It's an interesting game, but it won't hold your interest forever. I'm sure it will fall short in some areas.
With that said... its probably the closest thing to my vision of the perfect game so far. But, in entertainment value it probably doesn't beat a 2D fighter for example.
