Aug 17, 2016Don't listen to the negative reviews, the game is original, fresh and addictive if you like exploration and discovery... usual negative reviews comes from people that are so used to play the same formula for years... I can honestly say this is one of the best gaming experiences I've had in the last decade, cannot stop playing it.

Aug 18, 2016ACTUALLY a masterpiece. A very true life simulation. It doesn't hold your hand or make you feel like you are god, THANKFULLY. There is beauty and exploration and wisdom in it, that is as good or better than anything else ever made in the video game genre.

Aug 10, 2016Its not a 10 my vote is between 8 and 9 but its absurd to see so many zeroes. Metacritic should ban those accounts. Game is s lot of fun and gave me in my first day a lot of emotions that it was long time that i didn't feel in the game industry. Survival and exploration ftw. A must have for sci-fi lovers

Aug 15, 2016This game is a pioneer in gaming history. A game mechanic like this has never done before and it´s awesome fun to explore the endless space, if you´re into crafting, exploring and stuff like this. Anyway it´s a milestone in gaming. Worth buying!

Aug 9, 2016A marvel. A wonderful game with a beautiful look, I didn't want to go to sleep. This title, I think, will be engaging to gamers who enjoy exploring without much hand holding. It's a bold experiment, there aren't many devs making procedurally generated titles these days and with any luck Hello Games has shown the others what can be made with this technique.

Aug 11, 2016Out of Solidarity to No Mans Sky... This gets a 10
All the Haters clearly don't read whats right in front of their face. The game is purely an exploration focused title in an immensely large, procedurally generated universe.
Everyone give this game a 10 so we can correct this ridiculous metacritic score -
Aug 9, 2016Music, atmosphere, sense of accomplishment from exploring... this game is just such a masterpiece. It truly lives up to the hype. Talk about leaving reality and living in another universe. There are so many details, so many awesome things to discover... words can't do it justice. Play it.

May 8, 2020While I’m sure developer Hello Games is still tweaking things and perhaps even creating more content for No Man’s Sky, the current state of affairs is a strong one. This galactic opus still offers an infinite amount of content for those who want to lose themselves among the stars, but now also contains a concrete throughline that will satisfy a wider array of players. It can be irritating at times, but it’s also full of stunning moments and the satisfaction of building a virtual life among the stars. Four years after launch, it’s finally a journey worth taking.

Feb 10, 2017The world of No Man's Sky is insanely vast and beautiful, but there’s nothing to do in it! There’s no goal, no destination, no ending, nothing!

Dec 1, 2016While No Man's Sky is engrossing for the first few hours, repetition starts to set in and the proceedings grow dull. The developers stated that they plan to add significant features such as base building which could dramatically change the game for the better. There's a promising foundation present, so it's possible to envision a more substantial game down the line. As it currently stands, though, our excitement to cross the universe faded sooner than we expected.
