I am seeing a few stutters in the frame rate, but that's really about it.
   
   I love exploration games. Flight Simulator, Train Simulator, Minecraft, Creativerse, 7 Days to Die, Fallout 4 the GTA franchise even Starbound. I can spend hours just wandering around looking at what the game or developer generated for me to explore.
   
   No Man's Sky is pretty much the ultimate version of that type of game. With 18 Quintillion world in just one (of possibly many) galaxies, there is just no limit to my exploration bug.
   
   World generation is crazy, making Minecraft look tame, The creatures and plants that live on these worlds are straight out of 1960's SciFi book covers and comic books.
   
   There is even an underlying story to the four major races in the game (if there are four, I have only found one so far).
   
   If I had any complaints, it would be inventory management or the early lack of inventory space is a pain. However I could say the same for pretty much every game I mentioned above. You can fairly quickly start increasing those spaces by finding objects on the planets that will increase your suits inventory.
   
   A nit pick would be that planets usually don't bunch up together like they have here. There should be planets all around their star. I should have to fly past the star to get to planets that might be on the other side. Not the case here. They are all pretty much bunched up together. Physics wouldn't allow this, but hey. It's a game not a true simulator.
   
   That's really it. The fact that there is probably one one "hand drawn" object in the game, the main alien races mentioned earlier. Everything else is put together by the game, Ships, Multi-tool guns, plants, animals, planets, everything. So far, they all look fantastic.
   
   If you are into Minecraft, Creativerse, 7 Days to Die, you will be dropping those games in favor of No Man's Sky for quite some time. I absolutely recommend this one!… Expand

   Despite the fact, that the game started a bit raw, Hello Games continued releasing big updates like Next or Beyond and improving the game.Despite the fact, that the game started a bit raw, Hello Games continued releasing big updates like Next or Beyond and improving the game. Nowdays it looks very good, many new and interesting features have been added since then.… Expand

   What a **** disappointment. This was exactly what i was afraid off. Well onto the review then.
   
   Pros: - one thing that i can say about thisWhat a **** disappointment. This was exactly what i was afraid off. Well onto the review then.
   
   Pros:
   - one thing that i can say about this game which is pretty commendable is that it is a universe sized sandbox. there's multiple planets,galaxies with their own solar systems etc. But that's where the good things end
   
   Cons:
   -the first sign for me that this wasn't gonna be good was that the download was only 5 gb. Wait what? 5 gb for a universe sized sandbox?! Well unsuprisingly all of the planets look almost identical, the only difference is that some planets are slightly more darker or have slightly more aggressive creatures. In the words of Angry Joe: :"As wide as an ocean but has the depth of a puddle"
   -the gameplay is the most basic of basics when it comes to a gathering and crafting game. you fly on planets,collect resources so you can fly on other planets and collect more resources. There's no interesting story,characters,factions or anything that Sean promised was gonna be there,was not and instead we got a one big bowl of **** YOU!
   
   In conclusion No man's sky is a repetitive grind fest that will have you bored in a matter of hours. Just play elite dangerous instead.… Expand

Hell, they claimed the new DLC they creatively titled "NEXT" would support 4 person multiplayer, but they could not be bothered to get the lobby system working first. Two weeks after it was released and the day one reviewers flooded the net with glowing reviews, claiming everything is fixed, the bugs have begun rolling in. People are losing 200+ hours worth of grind, and Hello Games cannot be reached for comment, or support.
   
   This may never work as advertised, at this rate. After all, they are already planning a second game on the smouldering pile of ashes that is their first release.… Expand

   I remember playing Privateer in the early 90s and being blown away by its size and diversity of planets and stations, etc. Back then I thoughtI remember playing Privateer in the early 90s and being blown away by its size and diversity of planets and stations, etc. Back then I thought that in a few decades games like that would be so massive that you cant even explore them anymore because you wouldnt be able to live long enough.
   No Mans Sky promised that. Instead of that we got... well we all know.
   I threw it away. But then after a few years suddenly reports of it having improved trickled in. That the devs are massively patching it and adding all that was promised.
   
   So I got it out again and after a few hours realized its still the same boring game that doesnt make sense in many ways, doesnt have a real story or a goal, still only has maybe 12 different planets that are spread across the galaxy in tiny variations, still feels dead and sterile, still has crappy space mechanics, still has intelligent life everywhere, yet you never see planets with cities or a civilization, AKA simply makes NO sense whatsoever.
   IDK why people say that and the ratings reflect that, because its still a very bad and uninteresting game. I dont know a single person who likes that game even in its current state, yet reviews are really good nowadays.
   Thats BS, and I think those reviews are bought.… Expand
