No mans sky could have been a really good game, but it just isn't! All the promises that were given, all the hype that was created based on vague statements from Hello Games, all for a game that is nothing more but a hull of what could have been great! The first hours are really good, if you like the art of the game it's awesome to look at, it's fun to find new stuff on the planets and you look forward to the unknown. Then you start to notice that the UI is really bad, and you need much more inventory space. So you start grinding. You spend hours harvesting expensive materials, only to sell them again and you max out your ship and suit slots. It's fun for some time, but becomes repetitive after, let's say 10 out of over 40 repetitions (48 slots max on the ship). So, you finished the grindy part, which can be done on the starter planet, now to the fun part. Well, no, not really. What seems to be something like a story, be it the Atlas path, or the journey to the center, is just a big disappointment. Watch out, spoilers ahead, well, not really: The Atlas path ends in a Textbox! You travel to 12 Atlas stations and the final one gives you the opportunity to create a new star at the edge of the galaxy. You chose yes, and nothing, absolutely nothing happens! The End. So after this big pile of nothing I had to see the Center of the Galaxy. It's the aim of the game to get there, so be it. You travel for hours, do the same shit over and over again. You don't even look at the planets anymore, cause there's nothing you haven't seen 50 times already. You get to the center, do the last jump (4 times because the game crashes all the time) and.. you get a big "fuck you and thanks for the 60 bucks" in your face, as there is NOTHING again! You zoom out of your galaxy, into a new one, start with all your stuff broken at the edge of the next galaxy where the only difference to the old one is its name. This game needs stuff to do, it needs polish, fixes and a pricetag of 25€ max. What's good: - Artstyle - Soundtrack is awesome - First 4 hours of gameplay What's not: - crashes - view distance (this is not a ps4, give me some viewdistance hello games!) - nothing to do but grind - so many broken promises - no communication from the devs after the launch at all! Do not buy this game for what it is now.
