No Man's Sky

Awesome community and devs. If you into space games and exploration, just buy it. Amazing experinece.

Downloaded the game 6 times and always file 3 is corrupt. (previous version worked) The game has nice graphics and the story seems mysterious. Thousands of planets to exxplore, but they look like another (about 5 Types of plantes). Gameplay is repetetive and grinding. Would give previous version 3 Stars (even if the game is to expensive) but as the current offline installer is unusable 0 Stars. (I assume it works with galaxy, but i dont use it).

It doesn't matter whether you're running a modern high end GPU with a high end CPU, or a laptop half a decade old with a middling GPU and CPU at the time. Both are as likely as the other to achieve equally poor framerates on equally poor resolution with equivalent playability. My laptop legitimately runs it better than my SSD desktop because for some reason the game doesn't play nicely on SSDs but on my old, crappier 5400 RPM 1tb HDD. The SSD causes massive and unplayable stutter that seems entirely a lottery draw on whether or not your configuration works with this game. For a game that has "redeemed" itself, the core gameplay of exploration is no different from launch, with only static "building" components of the game tacked on. On top of the utterly atrocious performance, this is unacceptable for a game five years post release.

I have played it for 14 hours, hurting myself in the process and I can't recommend it, sorry. The good things: - The story makes sense - Everything is recyclable into useful resources - Everything is craftable The bad things: - Everything takes too much time - Crafting makes little sense - I built a WOODEN shelter on a radioactive planet and was okay? WUT? - If you go blind and select Permadeath, you're gonna die. I mean, I guess it's like real world, but the planet you land on is totally random, so if you land LIKE ME, on a TOXIC RADIOACTIVE PLANET WITH PREDATORY FAUNA However, the worst is yet to come: Gamebreaking flaws follow: 1 - Not everything is recyclable into useful resources - let me explain here - if you are a game developer and you make world objects in a game where you can mine and convert the landscape YOU BETTER F_____G MAKE THOSE WORLD OBJECTS DESTRUCTIBLE AND RECYCLABLE AS WELL - this, by the way is an unforgivable flaw in the light of the insane mechanic of attribution/connection with nanites 2 - all objects like factories, ruins, outposts, crashed freighters are impermanent and leave no trace of their existence (go ahead, leave a navigation marker or even a save point there). It would have been okay if those objects were destructible, like I mentioned before, in a game with a supposedly "persistent world" it's just playing peekaboo with an adult player, which is insane and insulting to the intelligence 3 - non-permanent usable item duplication - by that I mean, the crashed ship I have found in the second part of the (20 or so HOURS-LONG) tutorial, which is connected, duplicated, and in addition to having repaired the original second ship, I was now offered, nay, required to repair the third "crashed ship" all over again, which had me pixel hunting over the hull to find how to enter my original, repaired crashed ship. 4 - cannot sell the ship for scrap, because can't unequip technology because "wrong type of slot". I know game, I know 1.5/5

I have no experience playing no man's sky; I bought it during the recent sale so that I could play with my friends. They happen to own this game through steam. There is currently no way for us to play multiplayer together, so I asked for a refund. This needs to get fixed; it's ridiculous that you can't pick your friend's server, especially for an open-ended game like this where there playing with people you know is a significant part of the draw to multiplayer. I'll be leaving a similar review on steam...for what it's worth.
