No Mans Sky has been called No Mans Lie for good reason, the tech demos and features promised never happened and on top of asking for AAA price tag to boot! they received deserved backlash from that, I also hope who ever was responsible for that decision was sacked. Now with that out of the way I will review based on the current state of the game and if its worth buying on sale. Hello games should have opened with this being early access/indie title and priced to match, Its a game essentially about exploration and collecting, in this area it excells. If you have ever played any of the many survival games out there (its like ark without combat) youll know what your getting into. The universe and many worlds look great and its like meditation looking around and scanning all the creatures, Most of my time in game has been spent building my base and farms, gathering the resources to do so. Though you can follow the route to the centre of the galaxy for end game if you choose. A very nice touch is being able to name the planets/animals you find and upload them to the server, Once done if anyone finds your worlds they will see the names you have given. This is where the game has started to come together, admist the hate Hello Games have really pulled their fingers out with updates adding the base building farms and even a bit of story. Combat added and fleshed out a tad (still not really anything to shout about but it adds diversion) as well as many other nice additions. I paid full price at release and currently have 80 hours playtime so I consider my money well spent. It seems Hello Games staff are not all con artists and they want their game to succeed. Really adding some love since release. but only time will tell if the backlash can be fixed from launch. I hope so, as with even more updates this game would be amazing. P.S Hello Games please add vive support :)
