No Man's Sky is interesting. I has a lot of artistic flair and style despite so much of it being procedurally generated. It's clear that a lot of work went into the individual components so that they would create an aesthetically appealing whole. Problem is unless you're interested in multiplayer and the usual survival sim stuff there isn't much to do in a game that is supposed to be about exploration. I thought there might be something else besides the usual base construction and resource gathering of other survival games, but I was almost two hours in and was just doing the same dull tasks I've grown bored of in similar games. There isn't much to interact with or that makes each world unique in an interesting way. So despite being pretty the environments don't feel lively and complete. Instead I just was stuck with this feeling of being in a good looking but empty place doing drudge work. I'm sure this game will appeal to other people with tastes more in line with the core mechanics I experienced, but if like me you were expecting at least some depth then maybe save your money for something else.
