It's about 1000% better than it was at release. Whether or not it's "good" depends entirely on what you're looking for. It's on Game Pass, so I've tried many times to get into it but I always lose interest after a few hours because wide-open sandbox games just really aren't my thing anymore I guess. Tried it again last week and I got as far as the point where the game tells you "just go make some money to buy the parts for your hyperdrive". Nothing I have is worth anything compared to the cost, and I have no idea what actually is lucrative. I could go look up some guide for how to make infinite units, but that kind of defeats the purpose so instead I ended up just playing something else.
I think the tutorial stuff has gotten worse as the game has had more and more content added. I don't ever remember bouncing off it this quickly before. If you have the patience to get over the initial learning curve I think there's a great game in there.
