A Five-Star Alpha Project

I really like No Man's Sky. I really do. I am still enjoying landing on new planets and wandering around and just being on other worlds. I am still enjoying the what-is-ver-that-hill moments. I still laugh at some of the goofy critters I encounter. And I still have things to discover. I really like the game. I also will be the first to point out this game is an alpha. The UI is atrocious, one of the worst most ungainly things that will get you killed before you can use it messes I've ever seen in a game. Your ship flies like a blimp on speed and getting it to land where you want -- without mods -- is nigh impossible. Bookmarks are broken beyond functionality. Way too much was hyped on the in-house demo version that was really more of an art piece than a playable game. You will not find giant sandworms ( though that was perhaps an entire second of a video yet people seem fixated on it anyway ) or charging tree-shattering monsters or frilled brontos. It's hard for me to give this three out of five stars. But as it is now this is not a finished complete AAA product, but an advanced alpha from a small team who are apparently in way over their heads. I think they can make this game shine. I really like it now but it is such a rough diamond. It needs much more polish. If this game were marketed as an alpha program, five huge massive stars of starriness the stars never starred. Marketed as a finished game? Three stars bordering on two. I am still playing it though. Best alpha I've played in a long time.

One Year Later

I previously bought the game on the other platform last year to find myself asking for a refund as the game lacked 80% of what was shown on the trailers and was optimized so poorly that I had to play with medium-low settings with a decent rig like mine. You'd think they would optimize the game in one year since release, right? Apparently not. I can no longer say a word on the game itself as I had not the opportunity to really play it. The reason? It runs at a whopping 15 FPS now on the same settings and most of the times I tried and start a new game, it froze and had to force close it or even shut down my PC. I wish I could enjoy this game. Too bad. At least GOG has been very fast and efficient with their support and refund. Thanks GOG. Not so much to HELLo Games.

Very enjoyable. Poor PC implementation.

Don't get me wrong here based on the 2 star rating; I played crap like minecraft to death way back when it wasn't polished very well. I enjoy starbound... yes yes i know. I bought it on steam long before GoG released it. Mass effect, space engineers, emperyion... all games i can play. Enter no mans Sky and you essentially get Starbound on a buttload of steroids. Seriously... and for someone like me this is a good thing. I am very much enjoying the way the game plays, it suits me i can get up and come back when my son or my wife needs me. It doesn't even matter to me that its repetitive... unlike every other idiot there who throws their money at these types of games and expect it to be something much more amazing than it is... I knew what to expect and its a time wasting game i wanted, so its a thumbs up from me. I cannot however overlook the fact that much information about the games PC version was deliberately not discussed in open forum... because it wasn't finished. lets just get it out there now... this is just another poor console port. and that alone would not bother me if i could change the controls on the freaking Gamepad. Seriously guys... Hello Games... HELLO! your game needs joystick support, Gamepad support for Logitech and Saitek and flight controls available on the keyboard. the mouse for flight is unusable, its too slow and you cant look down far enough, so if you get attacked by pirates your dead. My Xbox360 controller should fix that right? Wrong! plug that one in and the pitch and yaw controls are on the left stick and the cockpit POV is on the right stick, if your anything like me your brain just does not process FPS style controls on the left side. its difficult to use and there is nothing you can do about it. I'm looking at hacking a copy of a 360 controller emulator and setting up a joystick with custom axis and button assignments using vjoy and simply switch back to the mouse for playing on foot. If it works I'll post it on the forums.
