Yes, but only very short amount of time. I actually played the very first Elite game on the NES back then! So I know the basic concept of Elite Dangerous and that its a "Trading Sim" sort of thing. But I was looking for some sort of planets and aliens and action and adventure style of game, with simulation aspects off course. I can't say if Elite Dangerous would fit in that description, but when I tried it, it was quite complicated too.

Maybe I have to give it another shot, just need to read reviews to understand the game, if its different from the very first original game (gamplay wise off course). Edit: By the way, Starfield is actually the kind of game I was looking for. The only reason I didn't play it yet is, because I was busy with other games and most people disliked it. So I am cautions a bit.

I think they added walking on planets and inside stations at some point and the promo video I saw showed guns and combat, but I can't say what that is about.

I forgot all about Starfield. 'Skyrim in space' with mixed reviews in Steam and a 70$ price. Maybe if it gets down into the 20-25$ range.
