No Man's Sky

I was one of the many lucky ones to have this port working on my end. Although I do experience some fatal crashes here and there, a file deletion bug before patch (this only happened once as far I'm aware of), and the occasional frame stutter. I'll place my PC Specs below here as a reference, just in case anyone asks for it. It's a respectable mid-cost rig, but the game needs more optimization patches. :///---PC SPECS Processor: AMD FX(tm)-8370 Eight-Core Processor Motherboard: MSI 970A-G43 Memory (RAM): G.Skill Ripjaws Series 8GB (2x 4GB) DDR30-1600 Memory Graphics: AMD Radeon RX 480 8GB (RX 400 Series) :///--- Bugs aside, this game is heading into the right direction, but it really lacks depth in terms of what the game already offers and tends to get repetitive sometimes. It's one of those types of titles you wished Sony kept their hands off for the marketing as it does feel like a early access title. If anything for new potential players, I recommend waiting in a few major updates and or dlc packs before considering purchasing this game. I've been thoroughly enjoying my time with 20hrs+ in. Every now and then the game still gives the wow factor for me once I find that perfect planet. Also, 65daysofstatic's soundtrack is simply fantastic to which prompted me to buy their soundtrack alone for the game. In conclusion, I will say this. If your a gamer that doesn't mind crafting/exploration space games and wants to chill, I say give this game a go. If your more of a gamer that wants to dive into action with complex gameplay straight away, this game isn't really it and probably should pass on it, wait for a sale even. No Mans Sky isn't a bad game at any means it's just been unfairly treated as a supposed "Triple A" title without people realizing its really a indie game, that again Sony shouldn't have taken full advantage of. It's game that at this moment, just feels lacking in some areas.

I was having fun with this game. While it is true going from planet to planet can seem a little repetitive but it never became boring. I could quite easily see myself spending a long time playing this game and never making it to the centre of the universe! You would find plenty to do on one planet let alone the billions of other ones there are out there to explore! My low rating of the game comes from the fact that due to technical errors on the games side after more than 9 hours of game play, without any warning the game crashed. Upon restarting the game, I had lost my save file and was being forced to restart right from the beginning. At this stage I could fully recommend this game on concept and game play alone, I could even forgive the frame rate drops and push through because it is a fantastic game! However I don't believe anyone wants me to recommend a game that at this early stage of release will lose all your progress without warning!

Well.. at first i was a bit disappointed. My first starting planet/system was only rocky based toxic planets. Really not nice for the eyes. After is noticed i missed out some important stuff for the beginning I decided to start over again. Now i got a nice starting planet, lots of animals and a nice environment. I can't wait till they add the building ability's.

i know many think it does not life up to the hype but i thinks its still a easy to enjoy game.

Visually, it is a great game. Content wise... not really. Like (nearly) any other procedural game I have ever played. It fails.. because as useful procedurals are to generate content in a map. It is also without a plan. And that quickly becomes painfully obvious in this game. Or version of it I should say. Because I do think they really did have a better game once. But then the flooding happened, and I think what we see now is an earlier backup. If true, then they did what they could achieve with what little time they had left. The reason I think so, is because there are other videos out there, with much more content in them. Content there is no sign of in the released version. But it is all speculation. I am just saying I think there is a reason why it have the lack of content, and issues that it does have. I won't discuss promises etc.. since I suspect there is something behind this (see above) But I will say that the way the game works now, it is incredibly boring very very quickly. And as impressive as it could have been, it ended up not being so. At best this is a 3 star game. It's OK, you will have some fun with it. But I would suggest playing this just to waste some time, and in small batches. I've uninstalled it now, and I doubt I will ever start it up again. With multiplayer, this could have been a winner. And I think they know it too, so let's see what happens. But I for one, won't continue playing in its current state. Too repetitive, and boring. I was also one of the few that suffered no performance problems with the game. That's why I am not talking about it.
