It's the only MMO I still play regularly after three years. That said, I hesitate to outright recommend it. It's fairly niche, and kinda still recovering from a disastrous DLC launch a couple years ago. It's in a pretty good place now but confidence in the playerbase is still a little shaken. Mechanics-wise there's a lot built up over the years that just aren't explained at all in-game, so the learning curve is more of a sheer cliff face. OTOH, the community is honestly one of the most supportive I've ever experienced; even the griefers will chat with you after blowing you up and explain how to avoid it next time. And having the entire physically modelled milky way to explore is honestly an amazing experience. I'd suggest checking out a few streams to suss out if it's for you, streamers are generally lovely and happy to chat with and help out new and prospective players.

Turns out its part of the playstation network game thingy so I can try it out for (kinda) free!

That's one of the things that's not explained, related to the DLC launch. There are a few different versions of the game. The console version is considered legacy and is functionally "disconnected" from the live version. It no longer receives updates outside of the occasional security or stability patch. Only PC is receiving new content. If you can get it for free it's a good way to test out the general gameplay, but most of the community is on PC these days.

When I try to play games on my pc i get terrible screen tearing and then a hellgate opens and the doomslayer has to come quell the uprising of demons so I am unfortunately confined to the dystopian hellscape that is modern console gaming until I magically become not poor
