    No Man’s Sky returns home to Sony’s newest platform, bringing with it more features, fun, and now virtual exploration than ever before. While a few bugs remain, No Man’s Sky stands out among a very strong launch lineup for the PlayStation VR2.

    No Man’s Sky’s PSVR2 upgrade fills in a significant missing piece of its existence-spanning puzzle. Hello Games has managed to make this love letter to classic sci-fi even more poignant and romantic than ever before. An already impressive game has reached a new high in player immersion with a fantastic overhaul of its VR capabilities.

    Prettier, better framerates, more content: “Next Generation” is a stunning upgrade from No Man’s Sky on PlayStation 5.

    Nothing else on PSVR2 matches this for ambition and player freedom. Just don’t expect a carefully curated experience or you’ll be disappointed. [Issue#27, p.78]

    No Man's Sky has made enormous leaps forward, and its arrival on PS5 is an opportune time to revisit this ambitious survival game. Whether you upgrade your existing game to the new version or grab it for the very first time, you'll be getting the best experience, with dozens of hours of content and a literal universe waiting to be explored. Some remaining gameplay issues mean it isn't perfect, but it has plenty to offer those who persevere.

    It’s unfair to criticise any game for being something it’s not, so instead we’ll say that this is another excellent implementation of VR technology by Hello Games and despite all the years that have passed No Man’s Sky has never been better, resulting in another must-have title for PlayStation VR2.

    If you’ve ever wanted to leave your universe behind and have a space adventure from the comfort of your living room, I can’t think of a better way to do it than with No Man’s Sky on PSVR 2. [Recommended]

You can tailor your experience howI don't know how this game started, but I played it after 5 years of updates and oh boy, this one delivers! You can tailor your experience how ever you want. Standard mode gives you balanced gameplay, with survival, dangers, recources on default levels, but you can also try more simple, easier mode or hardcore with brutal difficulty. Game is just a living and breathing world with plethora of possibilities. On top of that, PS5 version runs smoothly with updated graphics, and cherry on top: PSVR2 support! And it is the BEST WAY to play this game! Immersion is breathtaking! Exploration, combat, resource and base management, all of that is just on another level, when you're in VR. As I said before, meybe on release this game was lacking in some areas, but now, with this many free expansions and updates, with new content and VR support... for me, it's 10/10.

    PS. If you're on PS4, you should also try it. Game also has first PSVR support as well.    … Full Review »

After hearing the story, i wanted to try out the game myself, so i grabbed it on sale and was hooked into this game. The story isn't the best, but it can keep you invested in this universe and its many secrets. From time to time there are some visual glitches, but i haven't experienced any game breaking bugs. The fact, that they are still updating the game is incredible, especially compared to other studios and their games. The game overall provides an original spin on the survival genre with interesting mechanics, well worked out economy and new updates, that make the game more fun and original… Full Review »
