No Man's Sky

You will absolutely love this game if your favorite part of "Assassin's Creed" games is synchronizing viewpoints, your favorite part of "Elder Scrolls" games is climbing mountains and looking at the scenery, and your favorite part of "Terraria" is digging down into enormous caverns. It takes a lot of getting used to because there's no manual, but once you've got the hang of it it's a lot of fun. Unfortunately, one of the issues with not having a manual is that there's nothing to tell you that you have to hold the buttons down for a few seconds, even in menus. It's a trifle odd at first, but it serves its purpose for making sure you don't accidentally waste resources, and after a while it adds to the retro/used future aesthetic. The interface in general is, I think, purposefully kludgy to contribute to that sense. The only time it really annoys me is when trying to quit the game, since the option panes aren't situated quite how you'd expect and it takes five button presses to get back to the desktop. The only other non-bug-related annoyance of note is that because there are no loading screens within a star system, the initial loading screen and hyperspace travel between systems takes a really, really long time, at least on my machine. This isn't annoying enough to spoil the experience, but it would have been nice if they added an element to break up the monotony of these screens, maybe with some of the fortune-cookie aphorisms that pop up when you get killed.

It is slow paced game. You don`t need to rush you are explorer. I love it. It is running great on my NV GTX660.

This is not a complete game and the price tag should be reflective of that. In terms of optimization I'd say it's similar where Subnautica is at with how it runs. If this was a $15 title I'd recommend it but at the moment you should stay away.

The game runs fine for me on a 780m with 16gigs of ram so if all these other people with better pcs than mine are really having issues, then they're probably going to be easily fixed in a patch or something. It's exactly what I expected it to be and I'm enjoying it immensely, though, I am a pretty laid back gamer who just likes to dick around by myself in games doing whatever I feel like doing and repetitiveness isn't a negative for me. If you want to just screw around in a beautiful universe, it's definitely a must buy.

If you avoid the hype train this game had you wont be disappointed. You can go and explore different systems and planets. Mining is a big part and the survival elements are kinda barebones. You can go and scan a planet for creatures and fauna. There are some other elements that kinda make up the game but you can figure them out. Pro: Game is fun to explore and just kinda have your own journey. I haven't had a lot issues running it on a 660ti. Maybe 2 crashes in 7 hrs, and I really only stutter when loading in a new system. One of those crashes was caused by minimizing it. For a new game that is pretty low especially for an indi studio. Cons: There isn't a lot of content for some people. If you don't like exploration and mining type games, or possibly seeing some creature that no one else will ever see, then you will get bored. The inventory system can be a bit annoying at times to get through as well. Overall unless you really like exploration, I would wait and see approach this game. There isn't a lot of different things to do even though there is a lot of stuff. So if exploration in not your thing wait and see what new content they add as you will probably feel ripped off.
