For some reason I'm enjoying this

Ironically, considering others reviews on more powerful rigs, this runs fine on my Alienware Alpha i5. Yes, on an Alpha of all things!!! The graphics obviously aren't at max, but still looks good and very playable. Have to run it windowed though. Tried full screen but I got crashes and had to delete my config files to force the game to build them again. Phew! There is one major frame rate issue I am coming across. Bearing in mind I played this for 5 hours yesterday, on two occasions the frame rate went really chuggy. I restarted the game to fix it. As for the gameplay, I shouldn't be enjoying this but I am. I'm not in to survival-type games and it should be boring as hell, but for some reason I found the initial learning curve really rewarding. I generally hate any kind of of inventory management and crafting activity in games but I think that 's because they usually play second fiddle to the storyline games I like to play. I can see that when it's the main part of the game, I actually enjoy it. But for how long I wonder? The music, look and scale of the sandbox environment create a subtle but unique atmosphere that I'm enjoying exploring. They way I'm playing it, it's very chilled out. The constant replenishing of materials to keep you going provides a constant sense of peril that is again subtle. For now, I'm enjoying the learning curve and soaking up the atmosphere. Key moments so far: an annoyingly aggressive scuttley stick insect type thing that kept chasing me. And then I built a gun. Not wanting to leave the first planet I'm on, because I felt there was more to discover. I understand the negative reviews people are giving, without a doubt it's definitely over priced. I went in to this purchase as a gamble and so I can't complain too much. I've given this four stars because of my generous nature. If it runs on your machine, I'd definitely recommend it (but read the reviews to make a judgement call first). But, like the majority of other reviewers, had it not run well on my machine, it would be a 1 (I'm less generous when I feel I've been conned).

Bland, plain, in need of guidance

Where to start; I won't mention the lies, that we all know, but even with these elements in it (and the developers are slowly adding to the base game, filling the lies with some implementation), this game is still bland and plain. I enjoy it for sessions here and there, but this is not the game that make me think "I can't wait to go home and go play NMS!". Probably I had this feeling with games like Skyrim or Mass Effect, to mention something fairly recent; but in general wth the selection of games nowadays, it is hard to suggest NMS. Plain and bland...some may like it; a zen experience, like someone called it. Not my thing, and not because I don't enjoy the zen experience...I play Elite dangerous going around mining mindlessly asteroids, or jumping from a system to another without any sort of idea about what to do; just to scan systems, so I can sell data...I even play stuff like Farm simulator, Bus simulator, Truck simulator; so I know the meaning of dull gameplay made to relax. This game does not even do that. The problem? The gameplay. You go to X, you look around; randomly generated stuff, cool...but what do I do? Grind. Once done, let's go explore! Jump to another system (after grinding for the hyperdrive fuel), and more grind, same assets over and over, same aliens. Now the new update added missions; but it is adding a bit of variety; to a boring mechanic. There is also a new storyline, which is interesting, and made me go back to play; but it is too little and too late; considering that once done, you are left with 300 billion worlds to grind. Procedural generation was the key to get random events and different situations; different places to see...instead it was used for the planets/animals/plants, and that's all. Great technical achievement for sure, but not from the gameplay perspective. If Hello Games people would watch just few episodes of Star Trek, they could have enough inspiration for 100M adventures on worlds far away. Instead, another planet and another resource block to grind, more animals to scan, which are a mish-mash of generic parts; same assets over and over placed at random. Welcome to No Man Sky...a game that not even 60% off is attracting people.

Bugs

So I bought this game because I'd heard that this game was actually good now. The game loaded up fine and I got into the introductory mission. As soon as I attempt to enter the ship to run the diagnostics or whatever, my character's body falls through the ground and stares directly up into the undercarriage. I get out of the ship and I'm fine. A bit strange, but not game breaking. So then I begin the next phase of the mission where I need to search the nearby buildings for supplies to fix the ship. The doors on the building don't open properly, so I can't enter the building and find what I need, meaning I can't repair my ship. Now its game breaking. I started a new game twice after that and had the same experience yet again. I'll be sending this report to Hello Games, but I still thought people should know what to expect.

Labour of love 2025

Name a game getting updates with features worth downloading this old bag again some 9 years on. This deserved the negatives a decade ago but this should always be praised. Buy on sale enjoy forever.

Has gone downhill in the last 2/3 years.

In recent years, the once technically-proficient devs have majorly misstepped by overloading the engine with (literally) useless performance-consuming gimmicks that actually REDUCE overall image fidelity, and it has generally ruined the Ux. Only a few years ago, this game ran flawlessly at maxed graphical fidelity on correctly/expertly-configured mid-to-high-end systems; now, it runs like garbage AND looks objectively worse, even on current-gen systems. (I wouldn't be upset about performance if there had actually been any quality improvement... and I do mean ANY, AT ALL, ANYWHERE - but there hasn't). When the devs hopped on the attention-deficit-latest-model-Apple-ideology bandwagon and started regularly downgrading the game by "adding" these "features" to "improve" the "graphical fidelity and performance," the entire game became unplayable soon after (well, for those accustomed to PROPER performance; if you're used to consoles, maybe you won't be able to tell the difference). Compared to how the game looked and played in 2019 or 2020, right now everything *looks* WORSE, *runs* WORSE, and just generally PLAYS WORSE. But hey, now they can tell everyone that they have [insert literally useless backwards FOTM feature here]! Admittedly, a bigger problem is the host of brainwashed ignoramuses who don't understand any aspect of computer and/or gaming technology yet simply must have "the latest model" of everything, even—especially?—when objectively worse than what came before it in literally every way... but the devs have apparently decided to appease them at the expense of those of us who know better - and the game is now worse across the board because of it. Shame, too, because along with the absurdly stupid mistakes, they've also been adding a lot of potentially-interesting content - but not enough to justify the pain of dealing with the former. Sadly, when a game both runs AND looks this bad on correctly/expertly-configured modern hardware, it's time to move on.
