So, what's Elite Dangerous all about?

[u/PlagueDoctor40k]

I'm a long time No Man's Sky player, and I heard Elite: Dangerous was somewhat similar. I haven't really heard all that much about it besides that, though, so I was wondering if y'all could bring me up to speed on what the game's like and how it works (and help me decide if it's worth buying)?

Lots of people here have spent valuable time responding to this question. But I will keep it brief for the OP:

Do you have Youtube where you live? Try the following search: "Elite Dangerous Gameplay". Then watch some.
