Wow. What a game! A whole universe unlimited boundaries at your fingertips. There is no limit for what you can't do... Or so is there?

No Man's Sky has been hyped for three years, making it nearly impossible to meet the fans increasing expectations. Although it delivered almost everything it promised, No Man's Sky failed to go the extra step beyond what was featured in the trailers.

Even with expectations not fully met, No Man's Sky is still a remarkable and unique game. That feeling of awe when you first load the game and gaze out upon the world that no player has been on before you is a feeling no other game can deliver. Every planet has a unique combination of flora and fauna that leaves players wondering what could be around every corner.

Even with a universe of seemingly infinite exploration, some main components No Man's Sky get repetitive very quickly. Having to fuel numerous portions of your star ship constantly quickly becomes a chore. Most of the animals begin to look the same; when you see one weird orange antelope, you have seen them all. Is it a good game? Most definitely. Even with the repetitive features, No Man's Sky has changed gaming with its innovative world generation, similar to that of sandbox games such as Minecraft. Future updating is going to be necessary to keep fans attention. Should you rush out and spend $60 on No Man's Sky? Probably not. Unless you have been dying to acquire the game for years and can't wait any longer, this is one to best wait for the sales rack. Thanks for reading. Dance on!

I never played this game at launch. I recently got into this game and I am really enjoying it. The exploration elements work really well with the story and there is a real sense of progress as I continue to play. As you unlock new technologies within the game, you gain access to further exploration and mysteries that planets have to hide. The only downside Is that each planet seems to be all one biome.

So after years and years of updates and tweaks, the devs at Hello Games still have yet to produce a stable product. Quite simply, this game is too much for anything but the most robust pc systems and possibly the new gen consoles. 100% guaranteed to freeze and crash if you play for longer than an hour. It does not auto save except in certain instances, so if you have not been entering and existing your space craft, or carrying a portable save point with you and using it every ten minutes, you will get screwed out of your hard work every time. You have been warned.

Was bad but now it's good. i can't wait to play it on PS5. It will be the first game I'll buy. Thank you developers.

Imagine yourself that you are in middle of ocean, but the ocean is 3cm deep only. everywhere you look around is water and water only, and there is nothing to do but just walk or jump, you can't even swim. You occasionally notice there is something new in the water, a different type of shade of ocean bottom maybe, maybe a bit different type of seaweed every 1-2km of walk. At first you might think that there might be something different out there, and its just the spot you were deployed is boring. Maybe there is a deep water with fish, sharks, treasures and submarines ahead.

But as long as you walk you discover that its the same everywhere, same 3cm shallow water, crashing loneliness, boredom and nothing more.

Thats how No Man's Sky feels.

Some people may not want to forget the past of No Man's Sky and its rough launch, but I think that they should. Three years later after release, a ton of updates have come out, improving and adding new features. For example, the recent beyond update adds increased multiplayer lobbies, Virtual Reality Support, ridable and farmable creatures, a new base power system, cooking and a whole new NPC system. I think that you. reading this right now should go and buy this wonderful game!

This is not the game we got in trailer. I don't understand why people are still defending this joke of a game. Don't buy this game if you expect it to be like the same trailer. It's absolutely incomparable. what happened to this game? still pissed at all the blatant lies they told about it? the most boring game in all time

Watch the Internet Historian's video on YouTube and then decide if this is a game you'd like to invest your time in. I played the game for the first time in 2020 after all the updates and I really don't have much to complain about. It's more like the game Gallo Games promised, not everything they promised of course but still allot.

This is the game that keeps on giving. There is a steep learning curve, but if you like Space Exploration and building games this is the game for you. It plays great in a PS5. Warning, don't start this unless you are prepared to park your other games. This will engulf your game play as it has so many things to do. It is fun though!

Where do I start? A lot was shown before the launch. Promised a lot. But the launch of this game was an absolute disaster. It was empty, lifeless, and ugly. A gigantic list of things that were missing from the game. Things that were promised. And Hello Games went silent. I refunded my game. But why did it get so quiet?

They worked. They worked hard. In 2016, the year of the launch, Hello Games published the Foundations Update. Base construction, freighters, new technologies ... It was something. But it wasn't nearly enough. This was followed by the Path Finder update. Exocrafts, multiple spaceships, spaceship classes, online base sharing ... Some players returned. It was a good update. But still not enough. I refunded my game again.

And then came 2017. Atlas Rising, the next big update, was released. A new, completely redesigned storyline that contains about 30 hours of playtime. New graphics, new textures, new stuff, new everything. Also a touch of the long-missed multiplayer. Finally! You only saw yourself as blue spheres, but slowly we got there, what was promised to us. And hey, portals! They were finally active. I actually ... did not refunded my game this time. Why? It was slowly becoming clear that Hello Games is doing everything to develop this game further and to give us what was promised - and ... what was next?

The next big update followed in 2018 and it hit like a bomb. NEXT was here. Real multiplayer. Greatly expanded base building. New weapons. New ships. And another revision of the graphics. My mixed feelings about the game gradually turned into good feelings. I started to love and actually enjoy it. And with The Abyss came a big update for underwater worlds! Great. Oh, and Visions brought new stuff too.

With Beyond, however, I started to really play and love No Man's Sky in 2019. The multiplayer has been completely redesigned and improved. Virtual Reality Support. And generally a complete overhaul of the game. This update was more than we all hoped for. But Hello Games wasn't finished yet.

Well. Now we are here. No Man's Sky 3.0, Origins. What can I say? The update is gigantic and above all improves the variety enormously. But it's best to take a look at the game's huge release log for yourself.

I'm looking forward to the next few years with No Man's Sky and can now really recommend it to everyone!

Ok so i played this on release and think i played arround 39/40 houers and found the game pretty bad and so i stopped.

And now 6/7years later i started again because they have been updating the game so often and adding new things that it made me curious if it got any better. And yes it is.

This game is insane now. When i play time just flies and i cant stop playing wich is annoying and amazing. Because i wana sleep but i just wanna quest and explore abit more.. abit = fast two houers gone. And that makes a game good for me. When it makes you forget about time.

This game is a easy 9/10 now.
