No Man's Sky

I owe The game for more then a year And while at The begining i was mostly frustrated still The game keeps me interested. Game is on constant decelopment And The quantity of content that is added in major updates is huge. If its get you frustrated for some reason then just wait a few months And you can be sure that frustrating Bugs will be gone And some new stuff will await for you to play with :) I’m generally very satisfied with This purchase, especially that i’ve bought it on discount. Thumbs up Here!

No Man's Sky (NMS) is a pretty good game in 2019. It's a game about exploring space, planets and building stuff on procedurally generated worlds. Tons of free updates have added lots of good things to this game, like new missions (questslines), crafting and gameplay tweaks. Submit yourself to the (minor) grind of NMS to escape the daily grind of real life. The game starts out as a survival game. You constantly need to scavenge resources with your mining laser, find oxygen and earn credits just to stay alive. Life support and the mining laser drain fast and your inventory will always be full. Not enough money to buy a new (or extra) ship, no blueprints available for constructing a nice base and pirates keep shooting you up. Half the time is spent recharging equipment and mining resources, the other half running from agressive sentinels, wildlife or pirates. The mid game looses this survival aspect. You can warp to an almost infinite amount of star systems, build some pretty decent bases and combat becomes easier. Inventory upgrades combined with life support and environmental shielding make the enviroment a lot more manageable. The game casually introduces multiple ships and frigates, which can go on adventures while you do other stuff. As you progress towards the end game, which will take at least 50-100 hours when playing causally, the game really starts to shine. Credits roll in and you realize spending a few grand on resources every now and then will save you the trouble of manually mining. Bases start to look beautiful as you unlock more base parts. There are tons of different parts, from small decals and little rooms to large glass domes and landing pads to beautify your base. At this stage the game becomes a relaxing exploration game. Own multiple ships, vehicles, farms and even underwater bases. What's not to like? The game will stutter heavly at times. Quests will break, even main questlines sometimes get stuck, although I always found a workaround.

No Man's Sky is free-roam adventure on a galactic scale. Tens of thousands of light-years of possibilities. No two systems will be exactly alike, and each planet or moon I visit gives me a reason to explore it, even if only to look at cool stuff. Also, it's easily mod-able. Hello Games has put A LOT of love and hard work into NMS. It's constantly updated and bug-fixed, and all of the new content is added as an update, rather than as a purchasable DLC. That alone should earn them some major kudos. This game is worth the asking price, if only for the replayability and active support. NMS records everything I discover, and relays that information in an instant. That alone is impressive, considering everything there is to see. I am always in awe entering a new system and exploring new places. The scenery is incredible. Some places actually feel hostile and dangerous, impossible to live in for any period of time. Others are peaceful and lively, and I find myself spending more time exploring than being productive (I regret none of it). I like to get lost while spelunking or diving, even just flying around. I've got a base in a deep ocean cavern inside a huge crater, and another on a tropical paradise surrounded by flora and fauna. The soundtrack is beautiful. The ambience makes things feel alive (or not). I discovered an "Empty" planet, and it felt so lonely and quiet that it was frightening. I got accosted by a sea monster, and the sound it made after it quietly snuck up behind me almost made me mess myself. I heard a loud cry in the distance, and when I followed it I found a heard of grazing critters. If all you want to do is freely explore at your leisure, Hello Games has given us Creative Mode, which makes everything free and removes the story elements. Absolutely free-roam. This is top-tier simulation, at it's finest. I didn't spend $60 on NMS, but if I had I would still feel like a kid in a toy store. Worth every penny, and then some. Extremely satisfied.

I'll try to point out both sides of what I like and also dislike about this game. This review is not professional or anything I will just say about how I feel and you can choose if you agree/disagree totally fine :The +'s are: = I really appreciate how Hello Games made a game out of an idea, went through a lot and then made it amazing beyond what any of us comprehend (Regardless if I like or dislike the game this is something we should always remember that No Man's Sky made a comeback and thats something almost noone can do) = You can refine chemicals and make them into anything and if you know how (I dont know how yet but the game makes it possible) converting into useful materials is possible here = Beyond just building something around all the time you can harvest things like resources or extract them and fuel them up, this is the biggest reason players come back and its the most fun aspect why people return to this game so cant wait to learn that myself = The game has a very nice cross-platform system not just in the sense that you get to play with other players but I feel in general the game has been made in a way to connect players beyond just that (Can't understand someone? No problem the game has a translation ability, the control support with the HUD's is both easy and advanced if you play from a controller no problem and vice versa) = The fact that this game was designed for less advanced players like me in terms of navigation I not only havent seen that done in another game but? (I can definitely also see why that would be tiresome for some but you can always make the game harder with things with making the difficulty harder so there are both tastes) :The -'s are: (your opinion may differ) = The one and only thing I will state is that I do not like is that this game is coming towards as a shock the more it develops and is becoming too big to load in terms of gamesize at the same time simplicity is no more

Just one more mining point; just one more system; just one more scan; just one more base addition; just one more hill to climb; just one more...
