Trying to figure out if I would like this game (sopuli.xyz)

Hello all, I'm hoping to get some feedback on whether I would like this game or not before I decide to buy. I love space games and the idea of it intrigues me but I like to have a narrative/story to give me a reason to 'do' stuff. I tend to quickly lose interest in sandbox type games because they start to feel pointless to me. I feel like I've seen conflicting reports on whether NMS is more narrative or sandbox.

Also, I'm a dad so I have limited time to play. If this is the kind of game that requires hundreds of hours before it gets good or to the 'story' (such as it may be), I probably won't be able to properly enjoy it.

Feel free to ask me anything else that may help you give a recommendation and thanks in advance! I honestly want to be convinced to pick it up but I have doubts. :-P

I've only recently really got onto it and I can confidently state you'd probably be better off buying something else. It has a storyline and honestly I really like it, but it's very much a light novel tacked onto a sandbox. I've been drawn to it because it's the closest I'll ever get to playing a robot smuggler in Starwars.
