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.

    Feels unfinished

    The "game" (I use game in quotation marks as it's as much of a game as Minecraft) has some interesting concepts, and some very good procedural generation. But it also shows the limits of a smaller development team, that also subsequently promised too much. I don't regret my purchase, but I don't feel it's worth the full price. If a sandbox game like Minecraft does not appeal to you, certainly stay away. (Also note, there is no "building", although they may one day implement it)

    The idea of the game is very cool, after playing for a while it gets to be the same content from planet to planet, needs more missions to keep players interested.

    I was excited to get the game after all the hype, but was a little disappointed with lack of content that was expressed in the previews. Overall it's a good game.

    Falls short, indie developer charging big boy prices for a game that needs more to keep you engaged more than 8 hours

    Really fun and addicting game. There are some disappointments but nothing that really makes me regret buying it. It does get kind of grindy after a while though.

    I Liked it Before NEXT

    I'm probably one of the few that'll just say they liked the game before the NEXT update. The changes were a bit complicated to stomach and existing save files were really unplayable (bases get lost) after this patch. Getting my base back was a nightmare and drove me insane. Some new features are great, like 3rd person view. But... ultimately, the soddy introduction of this patch made me shelf it. I'll try it again someday.

    It's a big game. But not the grand space epic I was expecting. Needs more work through patches and free updates.

    Although there was a lot of drama surrounding the release of this game I would recommend it to anyone. I didn't feed into the hype and for exactly what I wanted- a fantastic open world exploration games with beautiful environments. It doesnt make you feel pressed to complete objectives, but provides a good amount of challenge. Especially after the recent NEXT update I would recommend this game to all serious and casual gameslrs alike

    This is a game for someone who likes to find new places and or things. Opens your eyes at how vast and the effort the creators of this game took to make this happen. I know some people talked this down but I enjoy it. It does take time to go places and I think this is what they were going for. Not the typical game that you can beat in a long weekend since there really is no ending. As I said this is not for everyone but is a great game to take your time to find hidden gems.

    I was excited to purchase and play this game but was ultimately met with disappointment and frustration once I had a chance to play it. The game isn't terrible, but it does not deliver on many of the promises it presented in marketing. The game received a pretty substantial update at the beginning of the year, but unfortunately, I had already parted ways with my copy.
