I never should have bought this

It's like having a tiny galaxy (more than one actually) in your computer. And like the manufacturers of an addictive drug, they've perfected the explore/build/upgrade loop. It's like minecraft in space. I'm nowhere near scratching the surface of the mysteries of the several plots but I see myself sinking many more hours in this game. They've found my weakness and scratching the itch of my wildest space adventurer fantasies. I deduct a single star for the occasional glitch requiring restore of a previous save and some game mechanics that are unintuitive enough that I have to search the Internet for a little assist. As I waited for the game to be years old and on sale, I don't have the same complaints with Hello Games as earlier adopters. To me, the game is magnificent.

Kudos to those who believed in this game

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.

Not boring just need time

PERFORMANCE Well, this game is what i expected, there are some performance issues, that i encountered only when the weather is cloudy or there is a heavy fog. I7 470K GTX 980 16 GB RAM, and i tried also on my laptop, ROG G751JY but problems are still there, and i know i'm not alone in this, also they maybe started as "little indie team" but, with the support of SONY, they have the budget of a "BIG INDIE", CDPR, OBSIDIAN, LARIAN, PLATINUM......., so they should fix. I will try the game on the other machine FX 8350 and R9 380 16 GB, if i find that is better i'll let you know THE GAME The game is peculiar sandbox with some deeper elements and i can understand that, for someone, visiting many planets to gather resources look like a MEGA-MINECRAFT without constructions, but the gek language, the trading system and probably many other things that i did not discovered yet, are, for me, "that something more" that goes beyond Minecraft and similars. About the gek, i'm one that learned the D'NI and the FEZ languages, to play those games, and on Steam i bought Learn Japanese to Survive, if i have fun with a game, normally the 95 % of my friends will say that is BORING I little suggestion based on my exp is to decrease the CONTROLLER SENS, at least on flight mode

As expected

I for one didn't buy into the hype. I pre-ordered and have never regretted my purchase. While I do agree that the promotion and price point were not what they should have been (thus -1 star), I do not feel the game is very far off what I expected as a person who understands the limitations facing modern game designers. If you are looking for a beautiful, casual, space exploration game then you will love No Man's Sky. If you have a medium powered graphics card and system you will probably do fine... it seems a lot of people having issues are running high-end graphics and hardware... those of us with midgrade systems seems to be able to run it maxed graphics just fine.

Better than I expected

I didn't follow this game before release. So I have no idea which promises were kept and which were broken. I bought the game on sale as a result of the Foundation patch. It looked like they were adding the kind of content that would keep my interest, and so far the game has been pretty fun. I haven't seen anything so far that would draw the kind of ire and negativity that this game has. I guess they must have promised players the moon, but instead only delivered a universe.
