I have this on a few platforms, and on PC/PS5 it's without question my desert Island game/forever game. I'll agree the Switch version is the weakest experience available and lacks features in other versions (like multiplayer interaction or settlements) but even so it's hardly more negative than positive. The devs at Hello Games are absolute wizards at optimization and the game still runs smooth even with all the updates and eye candy the devs have added over the years (for free!). I do have a Switch 2 but haven't yet played the upgraded version to comment on its specific improvements though.
For those whose knowledge of the game extends no further than it being a massive flop - like Cyberpunk, the devs really turned it around and the latest major update Voyagers actually brought the reviews up to overwhelmingly positive on Steam. It's much closer to being the game we were promised ten years ago (there's still room for improvement; even with the "infinite" possibilities of procedural generation you'll feel like you've seen it all before you've hit 100 hours).
For those unfamiliar with the game, it's a crafting/survival/exploration game (think Minecraft but in space, or Valheim but in space). However understand what the game is and what it isn't - it's a wide, wide open sandbox where you can go anywhere and do anything you want - it has lots of things to do but without much complexity. The major enduring criticism is that the game is "as wide as an ocean but only as deep as a puddle," yet therein also lies the appeal. The game is very accessible, and after overcoming the learning curve, it lacks any real sort of pressure or challenge (seriously, once you understand the game you have to be trying to die or just wildly careless - like going away from keyboard on a volcanic planet as extreme weather rolls in). It's a very chill, relaxed time waster with stunning visuals. You can fight robots and pirates and giant bugs but the combats is very, very basic. It's definitely not the kind of game for hard core, gotta-top-the-leaderboards kind of player. It's more of a "I'm gonna go fishing on pink bioluminescent ocean then fly to that radioactive hellhole planet with green skies and orange seas to find a trading post to sell my caught fish, then I'll go search for crashed ships to scavenge for parts to construct my own awesome ship" kind of game.
Anytime I want to unwind, I just fly around in PS5 VR with no particular goal in mind and explore new planets for half an hour. Nothing else beats it.

Man idk about this game more negative than positive especially on a switch also not much todo on this game have they fix the issue with the frame freeze
I can vouch for it looking great and playing smoothly on a Switch 2 at least. Downloaded it on the eShop for $20 a couple of months ago. It's pretty fun open world (on easy mode) just tooling around in space ships and harvesting stuff lol.

Played it on Switch 1 OLED and and didnt have too many issues. Really enjoyed the game. The one bummer is Switch doesnt allow you to interact with other players but you can see their planets and builds and part of the multi-player features.
Great game, easily worth the $20 for the sheer amount of exploration and decent story. Massive amounts of free content.

There is a free switch 2 upgrade. All you need is a physical copy or digital. From what I've seen on reviews on YouTube, they made it so you can play across platforms now

Since you need to download the switch 2 version along with so many years of updates to play anyway, would it be better to just get this one on the eShop?

Indeed, the gameplay on Switch 2 is a magnitude plus better than the Switch. It does sometimes have a rendering objects quite late thing happen here and there. Not as good as the PC, but it is one of the most played games I have on the Switch 2. The developers just won't let this game die.
You can get this for cart and download the free Switch 2 upgrade to then play on your Switch 2 to have a physical cartridge. This game also supports cross-platform cross-save. The one catch is that this version is usually an update or two behind other platforms so multiplayer isn't possible without doing some quirky things on PC.
