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.

    The game feels half finished, with most of the game not fully "realized."

    Best Exploration Game Yet

    Game is done in a type of cell shading that makes it surprisingly realistic. Its nice and smooth and has some beautiful scenery. Not only do you explore different planets, which are all unique, but the life on the planets can vary from non existence to a utopia. You are able to scan and even rename your discoveries, which other players can see if they happen to come across what youve discovered. Space combat is very well done, but basic enough not to interfere with exploring. Ground combat is very basic as well, but satisfying. You can upgrade your ship, and equipment on the fly, as long as you have the recources to do so. You get rewards, such as ships, and equipment for helping life forms, but you can find stuff on your own as well. The music is a combination of classical, 80s tech, and modern electronic, all and all relaxing, but pumps you up when needed, theres even a bit of rock in there too. Its very easy to get lost in exploration, so make sure you set a timer or alarm as you can easly blow through 4 hours without noticing.

    Not what I expected was probably a little over hyped. Recommend purchasing once it goes on sale at a low price

    Think of this game as a Minecraft spin off, but much more exploring.

    My son wanted this game really bad. So I pre ordered it for him. Then the release date got delayed. Finally after all the waiting and all the hype about the amazing graphics... Well long story short. He played it for a few days and just could never get into it. And now it sits collecting dust.

    The graphics a great and gameplay is smooth. If you want a good experience you need to realize this is not a shoot'em up game it requires survival strategy and thought. If you wanted to play a game with no limits on where you can go as long as you have what you need to get there you will have hours of enjoyment. Just make sure you don't forget about the real universe.
