    No Man's Sky is truly a space RPG game and way better than the 260 million triple A "Loadingfield." You can't be disappointed.

    Tenía sueños de pequeño, cuando jugaba a pokemon en la gba o al final fantasy tactics, quería un juego donde hacer lo que quisiera en el espacio, ir a planetas nuevos, explorar, conocer nuevas especies.
    Hoy en día, años después de la primera opinión que di, soy científico y me apasionan los animales y la naturaleza en general, por ello trabajo en el campo de la biodiversidad terrestre y,    Tenía sueños de pequeño, cuando jugaba a pokemon en la gba o al final fantasy tactics, quería un juego donde hacer lo que quisiera en el espacio, ir a planetas nuevos, explorar, conocer nuevas especies.
    Hoy en día, años después de la primera opinión que di, soy científico y me apasionan los animales y la naturaleza en general, por ello trabajo en el campo de la biodiversidad terrestre y, puedo decir que, en parte (una parte muy grande), gracias a este juego.

    Este juego me había ilusionado mucho, lo compré de lanzamiento y le dediqué más de 100 horas durante el primer mes. No había leído críticas ni opiniones porque por esa época a penas andaba con el móvil o con internet, hasta que me di cuenta de que la gente se quejaba del juego porque en los planetas faltaba vida o no había misiones...
    Era y soy un gran aficionado a la astronomía y ya iba con la idea de ir a planetas desérticos y quizás, tener la suerte de encontrarme, después de 20 horas, un planeta con un par de plantas.
    Al final, antes de ver las críticas de nadie, había encontrado planetas llenos de vida incluso en sus mares y tenía una nave con un robot en un ala, como R2-D2!!! Por cosas de la vida no pude seguir jugando y cuando pude, la playstation había muerto y ya no tenía la partida en el punto donde había conseguido todo eso. Llevo desde entonces buscando una nave así y jamás la he encontrado, lo cual me parece increíble y fantástico por lo grande que era el juego.
    Ahora bien, el juego ha mejorado mucho más, y a mi ya me gustaba al principio, por lo que no me puedo creer lo que ven mis ojos ahora.
    Hay días en los que solo quiero llegar a casa, encender la play, subir a mi nave y perderme por el espacio con música de fondo. Me ha ayudado en momentos muy difíciles de mi vida y siempre lo tendré en cuenta.
    No man's sky me ha cambiado desde el primer día y lo sigue haciendo. Es uno de mis juegos favoritos y se ha ganado un hueco en mi corazón.

    Voy a dejar mi primera opinión de hace casi ya 8 años porque me parece fantástica:

    "Un mundo infinito donde perderse y no querer encontrarse.

    Puedes poseer varias naves, varios vehículos terrestres, un carguero donde llevar tus naves, crear una casa en cualquier planeta, explorar libremente...

    Es la libertad, la libertad que no tiene límites"    … Expand

    I only had about 50 hours in the game but already had it beat, played through the main story, collected all the runes, had an S class squid ship and could craft unlimited resources meaning unlimited cash. Then the developer changed the inventory system and I lost a bunch of tech upgrade slots significantly nerfing my ship, multitool and jet pack. Thanks a lot!

    No exploration. Just do what the Mission Text tells you what to do, even when you deplete some energy, your prioritized mission is to craft the fuel. Its just grind and fulfill the next predefined task. Not like Ark, where you set your own goals and where you find handcraftet caves, here all is the same and predictable.
    Bad GUI, had to google a few times just to know how to craft, obtain,    No exploration.

    Too many scripted events, feels too constructed (forced encounters on space, flying-by NPCs exactly where i am on the planet), its not sandboxy.
    Had a small high while building a base, lost all motivation again when picked up the missions. Even the main missions are the identical takeoff-jump-land-run-activate-grind-repeat gameplay loop over and over, just to get the next little piece of story.
    Helping a fleet being attacked by pirates will punish you, as soon you hit the fleet ship accidentally, you loose standing, standing with is annoyingly grinded with the annoying faction missions. Then after killing 5 waves of annoying enemies, with a bullet sponge miniboss at the end, you get nothing for this. Just wasted time and standing.
    Fuel draining is just getting annoying, forces you to do more dull meteor grind between your tasks, while you are often being attacked from pirates where you almost can't escape.    … Expand

    After launching as a disaster this game has become one of my favorites. Every new free expedition expands the universe and gives me an excuse to fire the game up again.

    BEFORE WE START:
    No Man's Sky was developed and published by Hello Games and released in 2016. This title was released under completely adverse conditions compared to those presented at various conventions and fairs, and therefore, it was heavily criticized. After dozens of updates, the game became very similar to what was originally announced. The title has been fully released on Game Pass PC.

    THE TAKE OFF:
    No Man's Sky, as a pure survival game, instantly throws the player into the clutches of a planet immersed in the infinite universe. This planet can randomly be peaceful or malevolent, making the first steps more or less challenging depending on the type. The initial stages mainly involve learning the basics of survival, as well as constructing a small personal base. After these steps, the player will be unleashed into the universe of the Atlas, a mysterious deity or legend that requires the player to reach the center of the universe. As an interlude, the player can literally explore endless planets, take on dozens of side missions, and build bases on planets or immense frigates.

    STALENESS UNIVERSE:
    The gameplay of No Man's Sky is as varied as it is repetitive. In addition to the mere survival aspect of collecting resources, surviving in hostile planets, and fighting sentinels, players can venture into cooperative missions and raids on frigates and outposts. Furthermore, a small part of the game certainly involves space battles, albeit very simple ones. The true heart of the gameplay in this immense title lies in the exploration of thousands of planets, which often differ greatly, and the various space wrecks. A small mechanic that encourages exploration is the bestiary and encyclopedia of creatures and objects on the planets, offering small rewards in currency.

    WHAT COLOR IS THE SPACE?:
    Graphically, it is rather average, with a wide variety of designs and coloration of the different worlds. Certainly, the imagination behind some plants and creatures is exceptional.

    SCATTERED ECHOES:
    The audio component, like the graphics, is average. However, its great merit lies in creating extremely relaxing and mesmerizing situations, with fitting soundtracks for deep space.

    BUT WHY 7?

    PROS:
    No Man's Sky is currently an extremely enjoyable and relaxing title to play and explore. The vastness and creativity of the game world rarely become tiresome, and the game's writing is unique and detailed, keeping the player engaged. Additionally, the main story, being very philosophical, will certainly stimulate the minds of the most imaginative players.

    CONS:
    The major problem with No Man's Sky lies in the immense repetitiveness that it reaches within a few days of gameplay. Every space station, NPC, planetary base, frigate, and most dialogues will always and uniformly be the same. Moreover, the game's strong survival aspect often leads to tedious farming sequences for normal gameplay actions. All these factors make it a highly enjoyable game even today, but it certainly doesn't lack some issues dating back to its release.

    RATINGS:
    Gameplay: 6.5
    Music: 7.5
    Story: 7
    Survival: 6

    Time changes everything, Tree’s wither out and die, Rocks turn to dust, And No Man’s Sky (or Yes Woman’s Land) has slowly changed for the better than when it had that disastrous launch, and I’m very happy to say that No Man’s Sky is actually really good now and I think it’s time to put the past where it belongs and enjoy the current state of the video game. Thank you Hello Games!

    É triste como alguns games lançam de maneira completamente errada e acabam ganhando um hate absurdo. Felizmente, o jogo se renovou e lançou patchs de atualização excelentes que renovaram o folego e incrementaram MUITO a gameplay. É um ótimo game de exploração e só não vale a nota máxima ainda por que deixa a desejar no quesito FPS, algo que tenho certeza que os devs vão melhorar em breve.É triste como alguns games lançam de maneira completamente errada e acabam ganhando um hate absurdo.

Las misiones que se pueden hacer en el Nexo en compañia de otros jugadores son lo suficientemente entretenidas y la cantidad de cosas que se pueden hacer en el juego incluso habiendolo terminado es realmente impresionante. Mi unico problema con el No man's sky actual es que el tutorial es realmente indigerible.

    Pero pese a los errores del pasado y algun que otro problemilla que el juego tiene a dia de hoy, yo recomiendo ampliamente jugar No man's sky.    … Expand

    The Bad: The most deceptive marketing campaign in recent memory. Developers are proven to be as dishonest as they come. Game launched nothing like marketing showed.

    The Good: The developers stood by the product and eventually after ~3 years brought it close to where it wanted to be at launch. They probably only started development after taking the pre-orders to the bank though. also    The Bad: The most deceptive marketing campaign in recent memory.

    Fantástico, a campanha principal é contada na forma de um mistério, que mesmo quando terminada ainda tem um gancho aberto, sistema de construção de bases, gerenciamento de frotas, muitas naves, missões, e agora gerenciamento de pequenas cidades, tu simplesmente ótimo, único defeito do jogo é não ter pvp.

    crashava toda hora e nao tinha quase nada pra se fazer.. todo mundo odiou o jogo

    MAS!

    a empresa que fez o jogo! começou a trabalhar muito para reparar o jogo e o deixar polido para se tornar o jogo que eles aviam prometido!

    no man's sky is a complicated case, it was released missing many things that were promised and that are now in the game, but even if the game is much better now it doesn’t mean it’s a great game, its focus is on collecting resources that make it a bit repetitive and boring.

    No Man’s Sky NEXT was a meditative experience for me. The simple loop of landing, scanning flora and fauna, scrounging for minerals, and finally walking up a hill to experience a breathtaking vista never got old. Others may struggle with the game’s openness, and others will likely feel intimidated by such a non-guided experience. But for those craving an experience full of addictive play loops and the ability to go anywhere? This game is for them.

    A fun laid-back exploration experience and it has the unique honour of featuring the largest open world in all of gaming. However, don't go in expecting an exciting or challenging campaign because it's simply not either of those things.
