No Man's Sky

Inch deep, mile wide

Unfortunately, this game is clearly not worth the $60 price tag. The first few hours are quite enjoyable, but then you quickly discover that every planet, space station, land base, alien artifact, and cave is exactly the same. Even all of the aliens are essentially the same. For an exploration game, that is death. Why explore if there's nothing new to see? Is there a compelling story to keep you grinding? There's no voice acting, no cinema scenes, no real story, nothing to entice you to keep exploring. The only incentive to keep flying from planet to planet is to follow a vague entity known as "Atlas," who is represented by cryptic RPG-like paragraphs of text that appear on the screen after interacting with alien artifacts. That may sound mysterious, but trust me, it is not compelling. So, exploration is boring and there's no story, but is there at least a complex system of crafting so you have something to do while you play? No... sorry. There is only an "upgrade system" where you can upgrade your gun, jetpack, and ship. You can't actually "build" anything other than a hyperdrive or a scanner. I've played RPGs a decade old with better crafting systems, and those games weren't even focused on it. OKAY! But, AT LEAST, like the developers said, it is multiplayer so you can play with your frie--- WAIT, whut? Oh, haha, no, it's not multiplayer. You're just supposed to aimlessly fly through 18 Quintillion planets all exactly the same taking pictures of cats and upgrading your hyperdrive you can do it FAASTEEER! Weeee Don't buy this game.
