No Man's Sky

Guys, seriously, the game is advertising falsely. Those screenshots are staged, and do not represent the game at all. There are no faction warfare battles, there is no overall complexity. If you reach the center it warps you back to the start. If you learn all the langauges you find out most of the aliens speak gibberish. It's a half assed, poorly made money grab. Do not buy this product. Ever. Do not support Hello Games further. -Bought on steam near release.

Absolute scam of a game from the faked videos and screenshots and sean murrays blatant lies avoid this game at all costs and give your money to software houses that deserve it.

Hello Games releases NEXT with multiplayer for everyone, including Steam, consoles and so on, but GOG users need to have "patience" because... it'll come. Yeah, sorry, but no release date tough, so this mean maybe next month, year, or never (of course). It's just like a lootbox, maybe you get something, maybe not, if you have the money, you can gamble. TBH I couldn't expect less from them, ever since their game's "successfully" launch. They need to screw up at something. And they did.

Multiplayer does NOT work - that also means NO Community events and missions! They are looking at "later" but there is no commited date. Also NO CROSSPLAY with Steam, so even if GOG gets Multiplayer support (which i doubt, they also promised it on the update before (Atlas rises) and never delivered on it.) you will NOT be able to play with Steam players - the GOG universe will problably be very empty!

The short version: If you like space games, sandbox games, arcadey games and have craved for a truly limitless exploration game, get it now at 60$. If at least one of the above isn't true, then wait at least a month until bugs and performance have been dealt with. Long version: + This is everything you'd want in a space exploration game. You can seamlessly fly to any planet, anywhere and they are really planet-sized. Planets, animals and plants are very varied and this is going to be THE game for sharing screenshots. - Not everything is as varied as it should be. Buildings, space stations and alien encounters get repetitive pretty quickly, + The game loop and pacing are masterfully done: You'll be slowly crawling towards the center of the galaxy, or following an alternate path (or just free roaming if that's your cup of tea), all the while upgrading a ton of stuff (weapon, suit, spaceship) and enjoying the lore and weird animals/plants you come across. - While it is highly arcadey, there's not really much of a story or hand-holding to be found. You need to be a sandbox-loving dude/dudette to enjoy this game. - The game is grindey, as in you'll be spending looooots of time mining stuff, managing your inventory and selling/buying/crafting etc. + It's leaps and bounds better than the grinding in other games (for example elite dangerous), mainly because everything is done fast and in a streamlined way. No spreadsheets, no looking up wikis and no trying to out-grind other players here. + You can name everything you've discovered first and unlike other games that give you that pleasure, you'll have plenty to discover even as a casual player. There's simply so many planets (18 quintillion) that you're almost guaranteed to be the first everywhere you go. - If you come across other players' discoveries, you're 99% guaranteed to see an immature or foreign name... - There are bugs and performance issues right now. Ranging from little things, like being randomly teleported to space, all the way up to crashes and low fps on decent pc systems. + The developers have shown dedication and have already issued a (day 0) patch, experimental fixes and provide tips.
