No Man's Sky

I am playing this on both the PS4 and a Toshiba Laptop with a 2gb AMD Graphics card with a 2.6 GHz i7 Quad Core Processor. I like this game. It relaxes me after a rough day at work. I love exploring the worlds, adding more credits in my account and trying to upgrade my ship, suit, and Multi-Tool. I have learned tons of words from the Warrior Race, and am learning them on the Gek Race. I first selected no Atlus Path, but have finally been contacted by them. They are bugging me to get back in space, but I found a Money Planet (Cheddar Planet) and am trying to get more money to upgrade to a bigger ship since I now have the blue prints to all 4 hyper drives. I still don't have an Atlus Pass to get the cool stuff yet. This game is definitely not for everyone. Every one that complains about the game being the same thing over and over again, I ask ''You Mean like Counter Strike? or any other Multi-player FPS with the same maps over and over again?" I have sunk at lest 150 plus house into the game and still think it's great. It's my cup of tea, and can't wait till they expand it even more.

Technical: After the second round of updates, NMS became more playable. My Windows 10 / GTX980 provide a solid 60+ FPS. Gameplay: It's *beautiful*. Light and colour use and effects are unrelentingly flamboyant, and the worlds you'll find are stunning. I've been playing for many hours, and I'm still too scared to travel too deep into the oceans in case I meet a big predator. I've made mistakes when diving where I've not brought enough materials to recharge my breathing kit, and the fear of drowning in a dimly lit underwater cave is all too palpable. The story is revealed slowly, and in small snippets. I think it's nice. You're really free to do what you like; you can spend your entire time on a single planet, if you so choose. Some elements could be improved. Some find the game elements shallow and frustrating; I can understand this. But for me - well, I'm still playing it after a few weeks, albeit a little less often now. I do think the price is too high. Overall: This isn't a five star game. It's a 3- or 4- star game. The beauty of the worlds raises it, in my view, to 4 stars :-)

I've been playing this game for few days now and I have to say it's much better than expected. Even with the missing content, that may come later, it's a great experience overall. You can always find something interesting to do, chill and explore new places while sticking to a main story objective. I believe lots of the negative reviews are unwarranted and based mostly on devs overpromising and underdelivering on those overhyped promises. It's common knowledge negativity just like enthusiasm can be contagious.

I tried to enjoy No Man's Sky, I really did. I played until I realised that there was no genuine variation between the planets, then I realised that there was no chance of getting a refund so I tried to grind resources and upgrades and enjoy that but it was impossible. I gave up long before reaching the centre where the ending is more disappointing than the rest of the game. No Man's Sky has no life, it has no soul, it's a dead algorithm, not a universe. I was an idiot for believing any of the promises, hoping that Sean Murray might have been able to deliver on even one of them. I just wish I had bought it on Steam because with the new investigation there's a chance I would have been entitled to compensation for false advertising but I doubt GoG will give me this. If they do then hats off to them but until then I'm going back to playing witcher 3 and forgetting my buyer's remorse.

I currently own (to my dismay) this game on Steam. Now I haven't had any performance issue but, you know, all the rest is there. No story. No Multiplayer. Tedious and repetitive gameplay. Barely any space combat, and what is there is mediocre at best. Near-infinite universe that is hollow inside. No base building. No customization. and the list goes on The game is overpriced even at 40% off. DO NOT BUY. You will regret it.
