No Man's Sky
Description
No Man's Sky: Voyagers update is here!
Inspired by the adventure and imagination that we love from classic science-fiction, No Man's Sky presents you with a galaxy to explore, filled with unique planets and lifeforms, and constant danger and action.
In No Man's Sky, every star is the light of a distant sun, each orbited by planets filled with life, and you can go to any of them you choose. Fly smoothly from deep space to planetary surfaces, with no loading screens, and no limits. In this infinite procedurally generated universe, you'll discover places and creatures that no other players have seen before - and perhaps never will again.
Now including...
Play with all major updates since launch: Foundation, Pathfinder, Atlas Rises, NEXT, The Abyss, Visions, the 2.0 BEYOND update, Synthesis, Living Ship, Exo Mech, Desolation and the 3.0 update, ORIGINS, Next Generation, Companions, Expeditions, Prisms, Frontiers, Sentinel, Outlaws, Endurance, Waypoint (4.0), Fractal, Interceptor, Echoes, Omega, Orbital, Worlds Part I (5.0), Worlds Part II, Relics, Beacon and VOYAGERS (6.0).
And now with added Cross-Save! No Man’s Sky now supports Cross-Play and Cross-Save between a huge number of platforms including PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 5 Pro, Xbox One and Series X/S, Game Pass, GOG, Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, PlayStation VR 1 & 2 and PCVR.
Available for PC and Mac (see recommended and minimum specs for details).
An epic voyage to the centre of a shared universe awaits, allowing you to explore, trade, fight and survive alone or with friends.
Embark on an epic voyage
At the centre of the galaxy lies an irresistible pulse which draws you on a journey towards it to learn the true nature of the cosmos. But, facing hostile creatures and fierce pirates, you'll know that death comes at a cost, and survival will be down to the choices you make over how you upgrade your ship, your weapon and suit.
Find your own destiny
Your voyage through No Man's Sky is up to you. Will you be a fighter, preying on the weak and taking their riches, or taking out pirates for their bounties? Power is yours if you upgrade your ship for speed and weaponry.
Or a trader? Find rich resources on forgotten worlds and exploit them for the highest prices. Invest in more cargo space and you'll reap huge rewards.
Or perhaps an explorer? Go beyond the known frontier and discover places and things that no one has ever seen before. Upgrade your engines to jump ever farther, and strengthen your suit for survival in toxic environments that would kill the unwary.
Share your journey
The galaxy is a living, breathing place. Trade convoys travel between stars, factions vie for territory, pirates hunt the unwary, and the police are ever watching. Every other player lives in the same galaxy, and you can choose to share your discoveries with them on a map that spans known space. Perhaps you will see the results of their actions as well as your own...

Hello Games' lush galactic odyssey is a unique work of engineering art - and an engrossing, if flawed, game.

7.5/10
An inviting universe to explore and exploit, but not much story or gameplay backs up the unparalleled scope of the world

8/10
No Man's Sky is all about the pure joy of exploration. It will be a polarizing game that will prove unsatisfying for some gamers, but it offers a vibrant, Zen-like experience others will treasure.

Great game, no issues whatsoever(-ish).
In a world, ruled by gamers moping about game performance and making Tumblr pages where they cry about their agonizing experiences, No Man's Sky is a very welcome escape. The player enters a vast universe full of undiscovered planets where one can amble around, mine for fish, chat with the "locals" and feed and document the animals. Once in a while, you will be attacked by a weird looking creature and if you kill it, you may be attacked by a guard drone. Yes, NMS would not start for me as well, but my problem was that my graphics card was simply too old. I got a slightly less older card for a tenner (which also did not meet the minimum specs, btw), set the graphics quality accordingly and the game started up without a glitch. So, in accordance to a TL;DR standard; If you are looking for a 8K, Michael Bay-pewpew kind of game, carry on and buy yourself another game. Take your loss and stop whining about it. If you are looking for a quiet exploration "hey what's this, let's poke it" game, go get. Specs: Intel Q9200, 6Gb DDR3, AMD Radeon HD7850 1 Gb

A good kind of different
I like the game so far and I think this ambitious studio will make big improvements to the game over time. It is very different from many games, but that’s kind of refreshing. Am I going to say all games should be procedurally generated? No. Handcrafted levels/scenes will always have their place. In many game it’s the characters or story that make the game, but this game has a different feel. It is about knowing there’s an endless universe to explore and that you might be the first and only person to ever land some planets. Some planets are duds, but that’s kind of realistic and it doesn’t take too much to find another livelier planet. Also, it makes you feel more inside the space that you can fly far out from space and fly all the way in to land on the surface of the planets. If they don’t exist already, I hope they add some land vehicles/hover craft to the game as switching vehicles like that would be a cool way to traverse the planet surfaces. I had to lower some graphics settings like aliasing all the way down, but on a triple monitor setup at 5760x1080 on a GTX 970 I can run at 30fps solid. (Hopefully they set a way to center the hud instead of stretching it out) If I set it to 1080p instead it can do 60fps pretty consistently. Some will find the game boring and others will call that relaxing. I really lose track of time when I’m in the universe right now, thinking just one more planet before I stop. Perhaps it will get redundant faster than I’d like, but it’s too early to tell. I’ve tried Elite Dangerous and Star Citizen, but although space action is typically more my thing, I’m surprised to say that neither of those has grabbed my attention the way this one has.
