No Man's Sky

I just got the game a couple weeks ago. I avoided it in the past because of all the hate I read about it. I never read about any hype and don't really care what ANY game maker says about their game. It's all lies anyway, so they can make sales. But I read enough good things about this game that I wanted to get it. It seemed like a game I would really love. And it is! I love it! I can't stop playing it. My computer sucks, so it must be somewhat optimized, because it plays well, and looks great! I can just go around and do stuff I wanna do. There are some quests to do, and I'm doing them as well, to get my base built up. But looking through the reviews from last year, all I can say is, not a single one of them is at all helpful. Seriously. Everything they complain about isn't true for me. So they anti hype is all about lies, too? I dunno. Maybe it was true, but it's not any more. The one cavet here is, I don't like most multiplayer games, so I'm not playing this one for the multiplayer.

I remember watching this game game get hammered on release, so I had no intention of buying it. But I kept watching Hello Games add updates, so I thought why not give it a try. So after having zero experience on launch, I can tell you this game is a good time as of the Atlas update. Currently playing in a few modes, creative, and doing the atlas story on normal. Seems there is plenty to do, and see. Nice colorful worlds, cool star ships, base building, sci fi sounding music, etc. There is some repetition, it's grindy in the sence your always collecting resources, and repairing. I see alot of complaints on optimization. I'm not seeing a problem there, I'm using the R9-390X, and I'm running the game at 1080p solid 60 fps. I respect Hello Games for trying to make good on the promises made. Most game companies would have simply taken the money and ran. If the price is right give it a try.

Disregard the low ratings before August 2017: the game has been optimized and expanded with a few major free updates and is just amazing. I've spent more than 20h and have not even made a jump to another system! Some aspects can be repetitive but the content is regularly expanded by the developers. The freedom to roam in a beatiful open world is enticing. Going into the atmosphere of a planet without any loading screens is a great feeling. I know the game was half-baked on release but it is great now, I would buy whatever expansion these guys make!

This game needs to get the old reviews redone. Since the new updates it's completly different and the devs keeps getting it better. At firts when this game got out, I played to the point of getting frustrated with all the issues and loop stuff, I even throw the game away until I hear of the investment the compagny kept putting into it. Now the game is so much different, better in a lots of way and much more fluid. If you tried it before and complaint about I recommend you give it another chance, you won't be desapointed. Also I'm sure the devs will keep updating the game to even better level.

5 stars for continued support and free content updates. Look forward to trying it out with all the added stuff.
