No Man's Sky is worth the purchase if you like space survival, gathering, and crafting. There is massive expoloration potential, base building, ship variety. Pre-release, Hello Games spouted massive promises. On release, the game was a shell lacking most of those promised features. Years later, Hello Games has refined No Man's Sky into the amazing game they promised. Any other publisher would have demanded additional money for the features, releasing each as DLC. Hello Games is a refreshing change providing massive updates as the core experience. Fans continue to return and play again and again because No Man's Sky is that good. Buy it now.
I guess I need story. I played one tutorial and two missions as the mercs. That took several hours. There are a lot of symbols and the log shows rolls, but I don't really understand what is happening and there is no story. That last bit is why I'm dipping out. Xcom2: WOTC had villians I wanted to crush and a planet I wanted to save. Mordheim offers a ton of unlocks that can be used to build characters and teams, but my driving force is just collecting loot for an overlord so I can unlock perks. I've played Warcraft 1,2,3; Starcraft 1 & 2, Command and Conquer, Xcom; I'm no stranger to stragety. I was hoping for more story.
I don't like difficult, punishing games. However, I love Symphony of the Night and finally pulled the trigger when I saw the crossover DLC. I should have played sooner. Humor is great, references to other metroidvanias are great, my only complaint is they have so many tools some are amazing and others disappointing to use. There are clear winners and losers in equipment, but that game knowledge (what works best for me) is the skill aspect that keeps me going back, even on harder difficulties. I am sad they are no longer updating the game. I would have liked a few more features (e.g. dual bind the weapons to one button outside of custom mode). My fault for not playing earlier. Thank you for such a fun game.
