Sep 3, 2023Doing ant`s work here with a positive review since the positives of this game nowadays are so much bigger than the negatives. Insane immersion given the difficult task of being a space simulation game.
-
May 12, 2023You can get locked in your own base! This game is complete **** seriously. Ok tons of planets are cool...but they are all generic af. One of the randomized animals in this game is a great metaphor for this pile of crap. It has amazing graphics but its just not worth playing. I can't even walk into my base without getting stuck on the perfectly level ground and ramp.
-
May 4, 2023Despite the popular opinion the game improved since its premiere, it's still insanely boring. The building mechanics are shallow and there is nothing interesting to explore because everything is generated procedurally. I love good survival game but this one, in my opinion, is not amidst them.
-
Apr 9, 2023A boring endless cycle of grinding and crafting, the planets just look dumb like Spore did and the performance isnt great either

Oct 8, 2022The game had redeemed itself through updates and patches over the last 6 years, and was actually fun and worth playing.
Then patch 4.0 happened. -

Oct 8, 2022The game was a 9/10. Really cool exploration feature. But they ruin it in one day. So the note is still gonnae be 1/10 till the changes.

May 16, 2021This game needs to be rescored. All these negative ratings are from years ago on first release and some guy who zero voted all games. Please reconsider and regrade.
-
Mar 14, 2021This game still not reached the level of a 60 euro game, but with 50% discount it was a good buy.

Sep 7, 2020Lied to blatantly, how was there no class action lawsuit? Boring as hell gameplay, lazy design and a chore to play.
-
Aug 3, 2020This is soooooooo bad, uninteresting, boring, monotonous, incomprehensible, laggy, stupid imperfection.
-
Jul 23, 20205 years of updates may have improved this game from what it was on release, but a turd remains a turd no matter how much you polish it up, and you just can't get rid of the smell.

Jun 30, 2020Убогая, забагованная гриндилка с чудовищно кривым интерфейсом. Не тратьте время
-
Jun 24, 2020There is absolutely no aspect of this game that isn't bad. From the UI, through combat, endless boring resource grind to controls where for some reason sprint is bound to pressing the right analog stick

May 21, 2020Pretentious, disappointing, grindfest, waste of time, waste of money. This game was dead since release date, no idea, why someone's still suffering playing it in 2k20...

Feb 19, 2020Still has not apologized even once for lying and misleading all his fans due to pressures to get an influx of cash. It doesn't matter how much you go back and fix retroactively until you acknowledge misleading everyone.

Jan 31, 2020bad game, false advertising, I want my money back hello games! You lied to everyone! I would give negative if possible..

Aug 19, 2019Bugs, grind , lies, boring, ugly,
This game is astonishingly bad in every possible way. Pointless, boring. Yeah, and lying developer as its apogee. Don't even try to play this **** let it be forgotten. -
Mar 27, 2019Lies! Sean recently said the best feedback was from those who were invested and played over 100 hours in the first week. Well I have a job, was invested, and to this day I'm incredably disappointed in the lies you told and the utter lack of an apology which i believe we all deserve.
-
Jan 20, 2019I've come back to this game numerous times. In the end - the combat is lame, the complete grindfest gets real old everytime - oh i'm out of warp fuel, go farm more. Oh, go that way 15mins, do this and return. FUN! >.< The graphics are unimpressive, the story.... not sure really wth its going. Shame.

Sep 5, 2018This game is very barebones. Performs poorly on good systems and worst of all the marketing and development team was deceptive. They've recently added the features they originall advertised 2 years ago but such blatant lies is unacceptable.
-
Aug 31, 2018This game has risen from its own ashes. It is appreciated that the developers did not abandon it. And they kept updating it. To bring to the level of the players expectations.
Now he's totally worth his money. -
Aug 12, 2018More like no man's lie, LOL. My biggest issue with this game is that it's such a **** shooter. I mean, why don't the animals fight back? It's kind of cool you can fly under stuff but, I don't know. I've never actually played this game I just assume that it's total **** because 1521 say it is so, whatever. 0/10

Jul 24, 2018Maior porcaria do século.
-Não entrega quase nada do que havia prometido anteriormente
-Depois de algumas pouquíssimas horas jogando se torna extremamente entediante
-Não vale 130 reais nem aqui nem na China
-Não tem história nenhuma
-Chegar no final da galáxia só te faz recomeçar de novo -
May 13, 2018A complete scam. NMS has become a textbook exemple on how not to market a video game.

Sep 15, 2017Jogo que prometeu muito e não realizou quase nada , onde os desenvolvedores mentiram. O jogo tem um vasto universo mas com poucas coisas a se fazer , que vai de reparar a nave e tirar fotos das criaturas que também são muito mal feitas
-
Aug 30, 2017This game is bad. Really, really bad. It was bad at launch and it is still bad at version 1.34. Still soulless, still without a puprose, still full of bugs and glitches. They attempted to gain some good publicity recently with the Atlas Rises patch, but it is all a charade. Don't buy.
-
Aug 13, 2017Doesn't get any more shallow than No Guy Buy. Stick with Starbound or Space Engineers - Scifi games with actual depth of gameplay. Things like tacked on "base building" don't really do enough to save this thing from feeling empty and hollow.

Mar 21, 2017The game is an unholy mess and for 50 euros nevertheless, low frame rates and repetitive gameplay. The developers lied to the community which supported them and their behavior shouldn't be left unpunished. Honestly, you are better off with Minecraft.
-
Mar 21, 2017Nothing less than a fraud.
Full price for a tech demo that was marketed as something it's not. I have nothing more to say but go to hell Sony and Goodbye games. -
Mar 17, 2017Not as advertised. Would be considered a great accomplishment if they charged fairly and were honest about content. Due to blatant lies(causing a hugely commercially succesful launch) i will never support this company.
-
Mar 17, 2017A concept manipulated in a mediocre way, giving a result a videogame without heart, without entity, and with a disastrous performance.
The latest updates give the video game a bit of variety and challenge, but it's still a poor product. -

Jan 5, 2017May be one of the most trash games ive ever purchased even at 35$. I would highly suggest you save your money till it goes on sale to sub 20$. The content update added nothing of substance.

Nov 28, 2016Even with the foundation update the game has less than 6 hours of fun just awful after like many hating it on launch i was excited when the foundation update came out my hopes were quickly dashed after a mere 3 extra hours and even with my monster 4000 pc i would still get frame rate dips f**k this game and suck my d**k sean murrey
-
Nov 27, 2016I spent a fairly large amount of time playing this game, searching for the things shown in trailers, and that Sean Murray said in interviews. After ~40 hours, I found none of the things I was most hoping to find, and combined with terrible performance on my computer, I can't recommend this game to ANYONE.

Nov 23, 201699.9% of its initial players lost in a couple of weeks, a sticker hiding "multiplayer online", algorithmic monsters and a galaxy made of empty planets. Let's just say: piece of trash. Nobody's Sky. Those who like it are either bribed or imbecile.
-
Nov 19, 2016Boring and misses a large amount of advertised content. Game feels like a scam and nothing else and does not live up to it's AAA price. To top it off Hello Games and Sean Murray have gone silent and not made any attempt to talk about this disaster of a game.
-
Nov 18, 2016"There is potential for this game, but right now it's poorly executed."
This is so true, this game is very dissapointing to say the least, I lost a lot of money here. -

Oct 29, 2016- They said the game has Infinite Planet.... Liar!
- The game's environments make me sore eyes!
- Gameplay become boring after few hours!
- I am a PC gamer, but the game is not optimized for PC! -
Oct 29, 2016After all the fake advertising this crap dont deserve more than a 0 of score; this game officialy now is the worst game of the history of the video games, worst even than the et game.

Oct 18, 2016Sean Murray is a **** liar. The game does not even have half of what was promised. The only thing to do in this game is an endless grind. None of the planets even feel unique. Stay far away from this game.
-
Oct 17, 2016It's bad, unfortunately it is.
Not a 0% game like many say, but it's just... boring.
Walk to get this, walk back to to get that, walk walk walk.
I'm not going into the false promises issue, but the game itself is just an endless chore of boring tasks. -

Pelit (Finland)Oct 11, 2016No Man's Sky breaks the record in falling short of the hype – which is an incredible achievement in the category of super ambitious space games. The huge universe is a repetitive, lifeless and meaningless place, no amount of random generated creatures can change that. The most unforgivable fail is making the spaceship such a pain to fly, which makes exploring the vast universe simply a chore. However, at its best the game is epic and many of the issues should be easy to fix, so this might not be the end of the journey after all. [Sept 2016]

PC PowerPlayOct 2, 2016It's partially broken, shallow, repetitive and aimless, but hang me, I still kind of love it. [Issue#255, p.56]

Edge MagazineSep 27, 2016While some poorly designed systems and mechanics chip away at your patience, the feeling of flying seamlessly from space down to a peninsula you spotted from orbit never fails to enthrall. [Nov 2016, p.106]
