I'm 484 hours into my first world and am on day 1184. Working on finding the current final boss' location. I don't hurry through the game as I like the journey more than the destinations and I also don't have very good reflexes any more since I suffered a stroke 9 years ago.

The game has some pretty grindy gates for the content in each of the various biomes. Not too much fun to just run through it as fast as you can.

No Man's Sky is a proc gen game that is mostly exploration based. The only survival elements are really in the first 15 minutes of play.

Factorio is a 2D game that emulates 3D. Its a survival type game. You crash land on an alien planet inhabited by hostile bugs and only get to salvage a few bits and pieces of your escape pod and have to pretty much build a factory from scratch and defend it while you try and advance far enough to build a rocket that you can load a satellite on to signal for rescue.

It has a free demo that you can download and see if its a game that you will like before you buy it.

You might try those while you wait for the devs to finish this one.
