No Man's Sky

I don't know how this game has earned so much good press. Maybe the original dream is somehow still keeping people's hype going, even after all these years. Maybe it's just the sunk cost fallacy. Either way, the huge amount of updates this game has received have all done nothing to actually make it a good game. I saw a few people complaining that apparently the last few updates before the most recent one were just bug fixes and quality of life things, and all I can say to that is, there should have been way, WAY more of those bug fixing updates before they added any more new stuff. This game is BUSTED, I'm talking bethesda at launch levels of busted. All the new exciting additions have been piled on top of a foundation that is barely holding together. From the game crashing when you take a screenshot with it's own built in photo mode, to everything on the planets clipping into each other, to systems feeling like sloppy first-draft versions of themselves. Perfect anecdote of how scuffed this game is. I once completed a quest, which was already riddled with bugs and oversights, then took another of the same kind of quest. Instead of actually starting a new quest, it put the marker back on the exact same location as the first one. I went there thinking, well, I guess that's the closest area designated for that kind of quest, I guess it'll all respawn and I'll do it again. But no, the area was completely empty, all cleared out by me, from when I did the first quest. Even bethesda games don't fuck up like that; when preston garvey gives you another settlement quest at the very least the game spawns more enemies when if he sends you back to the same settlement, so you actually have a quest objective to complete. But no, this game will just..... put a quest marker back at the same place you just were, giving you a broken unbeatable quest with no objective. TL;DR The game is bad and broken, the updates have done nothing to fix the fundamental flaws

The game has improved graphically, the game is practically infinite, it is true that the planets look a lot like each other or the changes are not that many but they are constantly implementing improvements, there are many things to do and the most important thing is that the developers constantly give it content and do not ask us to spend a single extra dollar, the truth is this game deserves more attention from the entire gamer community, any fan of Star Wars or the Mandalorian series would be crazy about this game.

THe game is good but it is slowly.

It does so much cool stuff but the core game that exists and has been built on top of feels like it can never truly live up to my expectations, but its still been able to capture me for many hours now so it must be doing something right at least

I'm very happy and very impressed with what they have done to the game ever since its release. It runs phenomenally well – buttery smooth graphics and all. The newer updates finally add a sense of completion to the game even though many more ‘DLCs’ that are still to come. This game should have been released a year later, but it was rushed and turned many people off especially since it was basically unfished and, like many people have said, plays like it was in “Early Access”. These newer updates have breathed new life into a game many people would otherwise turn away from – except for those who truly believe in the future of this game. Kudos to those who stayed despite everything.
