"Inch deep but a mile wide" is the thing to remember about Elite Dangerous. You'll do the same things over and over again, because the grind is unbelievable. But, as far as full featured space sims go, there's really only the one game in town, and it's Elite.
I'd rate the early game 0/1, The mid game 6/10, and the end game 3/10, only because the only thing left to do after you get there is just grind.

Overall, I give ED a 7/10, however, this is definitely a "Bucket list" game for any space sim fan.
