No Man's Sky

gog is very super lucky that this is not steam, if this was steam i would have already been asking for a refund for this lackluster game.. 1 performance. i am running a i7 4770k, a nvidia 970 and 16 GBs of ram. I am also running a super FRESH install of windows and running fresh and up to date drivers provided to me by nvidia themselves. however this game suffers from frame issues. jerkiness. Of course the devlopers seem to tell me that I need to "update my video card drivers" cause that is the source of the problem 2. actual gameplay.. this is like space exploration meets rust.. except there is nothing really else to do. there is no storyline to the game. its difficult to meet other people in the game. you start off with your space ship broken and you're forced to do collect resources.. except the tool needed to collect resources... Needs resources to work and finding them can be a bit tricky, espcially when you are first starting off. after about an hour and a half of playing. I was so bored that I closed the game and prompted unistalled it off my system and I probably will never bother to ever play this game again.. also Whats the deal with the game saying I am "offline" despite me being on the internet and connected to the gog galaxy client.. GOG well played for not having a refund policy. with this game you get to collect a small amount of cash and not have to worry about handing any of it back cause this game sucks so very badly

Everything is fluent and on the highest Details. I have a Gamer PC, so I enjoyed this game from the beginning. You upgrade your ship, your waepon and yourself. You get quicker, richer, better and bigger. A saw Systems with only one planet and systems with five. Once I was on a planet, it was almost covered all over with water, the small islands were pure dessert. There was almost nothing, but when I jumped into the water, I had to go really deep for the station...., there was more and more stuff to discover. From time to time, there are these "magical moments" which are making the game speciel. I also wonder, why everyone is saying, this game has no story line? This Atlas Thing with different levels, get to know more and more secrets of this universe, thats really enough and far more that could be expectet. The dialogs are really well written. An old and ancient world. Of course, this game gets 5 stars, cause there are still other promises to keep and I expect much, like base building and so on. For now, exploration is enough ;) See ya, and have fun guys.

First and Foremost, The PC version does have issues such as frame rate loss and hitching and stuttering. This can and more than likely will be fixed. Many users have reported the game giving them problems and others such as myself have encountered very few problems of our own for one reason or another. My current system setup for anyone curios is as follows : XFX R9 390x|Memory TypeGDDR5|Core Clock1060 MHz, Intel Core i5-2500K CPU @ 3.30GHz, 8 gig RAM. I use no SSD at the moment. Ive the setting in game maxed, antialiasing off and on in my radeon settings and frames set to Max. I am having fun myself with the game, there are a lot of systems to explore off the path to reaching the universe center. The grinding for materials is no different to that of minecraft or any other survival/crafting game you have played. The flora, fauna and planets are varied and ive yet to cross a same feeling planet. I see reused parts on occasion but nothing mods might fix in future should they pop up. On to the problem major problem of No Mans Sky that some people refuse to acknowledge: The Hype The Hype for NMS was immense, so much so that there would be no way that Hello Games could possibly deliver on everyones ideas of what this game was. The game itself can be completed meaning the main goal of reach the universe center in around 30-40 hours it could be longer. But you can actually visit every shining star you see when zooming out in the galaxy map in space. People overhyped this game just like they did with Watchdogs, Destiny, Spore and even Division. People have learned to not give into hype but many more have not. The hype was due to Sony and the marketing for the game which a reminder is an INDIE game (sony did nothing more than marketing and did not publish NMS so they were running on a tight budget). Hype behind and expectations on the ground instead of in the clouds onto the review, and within it a solidly ok game (current issues aside).

The game lacks depth, and while it can impress with its scale, it comes at a cost of horrible performance and optimization that will hopefully be fixed. HOWEVER I enjoy the game's chillout nature. It is a great game to play to relax and admire the scenery. If you want a game to just explore and chill, buy it on sale. 7/10

The game is an indie game that got hyped to be like an AAA title. It's a great explorer, collect resources, upgrade tech, etc. This game may not be not for everyone. Now for the technical site of things... This game has a lot of potential, however it's still beta. It uses OpenGL (vs DirectX) which explains some of the odd performance features and consumes a LOT of system memory. The auto save is a bit ... random for and changing graphics, existing out and logging back in makes me lose progress. Also... try change the FOV (field of view) setting in the display to 100. It was hard to navigate or notice the drones that could attack you let alone navigating with the default
