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.

    This game is extremely boring at the start but once you get into it it's completely fine, it can get a bit repetitive but I sort of like it

    It's more resource management and survival, with exploration as more of a reward. I like the concept, looking forward to future updates.

    It is interesting at the beginning. however, when you continue playing, kind of boring. But if you could buy an open box, it is still a good choice to get it to play a little bit.

    If you're into single-player exploration titles and space ships, this is the game for you. With a possible 18 quintillion planet-sized planets to discover, there is virtually no end.

    I enjoyed it the first few weeks, then I found myself not playing it as much. I really hope I get back into soon. I'm sure there will be lots of updates in the future for this game.

    Honestly this game could use more work before release, everything is built off an algorithm and everything continues to be repetitive

    If you are looking for a game that is nothing but mining, selling, mining, selling, travel. This is the game for you. For others who want action and level gaining, discovering something new in each world, I would recommend avoiding this game and getting destiny. It is tough at first but once you have what you need for travel, it is just the same thing until you reach the center of the universe, given if you ever reach it.

    Fun Exploration Game

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This game is more for people who don't require an objective as the only "quest" in this game is to travel to the center of the galaxy. Game play in this game is mainly trekking across planets and gathering resources so you can pilot your ship as well as power your suit so you can survive in extreme conditions. It's a fun game to just relax and play, but I don't see the longevity being there unless Hello Games releases patches for reasons to come back. (I.e. multiplayer, construct buildings, construct ships,...)

    Good looking game but you just do the same thing over and over again. Played it for about a week or so and haven't touched it since.

    A good game, a great way to spend some time. Its very immersive and has a lot of options on what you can do, but it can get a bit boring. I hope updates will help it along

    Had high hopes for this game when I first heard of it. Played a fair amount, and enjoyed it... all of about 6 hours. After that, it was doing pretty much the same stuff. Gathering the same elements and upgrading a ship or weapon with really nothing really noticible when upgrading. Maybe after more patches with some added game play features would I possibly may want to come back. Or maybe the addition of VR capabilities.

    I was so looking forward to this game coming out after reading so much about it. I would say that I got about 3 hours worth of decent playing time from the game and not to spoil it, the conclusion was horrible. This game could have been so much better. the only reason that I gave it 2 stars was because the imagery and graphics are pretty sweet, but unfortunately the game play is not! Don't waste your money on this one!

    It's an easy game to get into but after about 6 hours of play through it gets old. Discover, gather try not to die... Simple game.

    This game is definitely not for everyone. However, if you are willing to relax and take time and just explore for the sake of exploration, it serves its purpose very well.

    If you want to explore the universe then you'll love it. But if you want to go from planet to planet and meet up with people and destroy stuff then this isn't the game for you.

    I understand why it should be fun, but there is still a lot missing from the game and the vastness of it feels empty at times.

    This game might not be for everyone. You either like it or not. Game has plenty of discovery and if you like exploring vast regions of space and planets you'll like this game.

    I liked this game a lot for about the first 20 hours. After that it became repetitive with no real overall objective to keep it interesting. Still fun for what it was though.
