Customers are saying

Customers have good things to say about the exploration, planets, open world, and universe size in No Man’s Sky, frequently citing the vastness and enjoyment of exploring the game's many planets and universe. However, many find the gameplay repetitive and lacking in content, with some also criticizing the game's story and value for the price. The sheer scale of the game's universe is a major draw for many players, but this is often offset by concerns about repetitive gameplay mechanics.

    Not what you'd expect

    This is definitely not a story driven game. You as the gamer are out to explore and harvest planets for upgrades. Gets repetitive after a few hours.

    Can get repetitive but the game is adventures. The updates have done some real good to the game. Several game modes are now offered. I'm enjoying the game but Rebel Galaxy still takes the cake.

    Despite negative reviews and broken promises. No Man's Sky delivered an unparalleled experience in discovery. Strap in and immerse yourself in this wonderful universe. Explored the endless skies.

    Fun can be had, but it's good to go in with tempered expectations. It's really a survival game. Made more enjoyable with friends.

    People complain that they were lied to. The main aspect of the game has never changed. It's an exploration game where the awe of space is the headliner. I'm personally having a great time with it.

    I've been waiting for this game for a long time, and it was well worth the wait. The concept of procedurally generating planets is novel and really cool. This game requires a fair amount of patience (there is a lot of mining) but it's fun to explore each planet, and they are all pretty different. I've been playing for a week now and I feel like I've barely made a dent in the game but I'm not bored of it yet. The graphics are great and I really like the eloquence of the word passages in the game. Props to whoever wrote them, it's almost like reading prose poetry.

    The large open world travel is impressive, but gets repetitive and boring kinda quick. I was not one of the people that had any technical issues.

    Game is average at best. Starts off pretty well but gets very repetitive and shallow after a couple of hours. Rent first if you are on the fence.

    It is a chill game but it is almost too chill. The sentinels are more annoying than anything. It's my type of game when I have time for it, but I don't see my friends liking this sort of thing.

    This game is fun and has kept me entertained for about a month now but gets a little repetitive pretty quickly. Also has multiple bugs and glitches but is gettin getting better with each update.

    Game is good at the moment, however needs a little more to make it a great game. I know it's supposed to progress over time with updates but it should have been released with more than it was.

    After downloading the update that adds creative mode, the game is a lot better. Without creative mode, it became annoyingly repetitive fast.

    There was a lot of hype around this game. All in all it is a solid free roaming first person game. I enjoy it a lot, I just hope there are some patches or DLC packs because it gets repetitive

    Silly me, pre-ordered two copies

    I pre-ordered two copies of this hot mess, one for me and one for my oldest child due to the hype. I had best buy reward certificates burning a hole in my pocket and that covered most of the cost. I put about 15 hours into this game and my son about 5. We both agreed we would shelve it for now and see if any updates made the game better. So far no.

    To get out of the online gaming and kind of being alone in the universe is a great game, to explore and do different things is not as good.
