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.

    Think of it as a casual game.

    I know that everyone was expecting an awesome planet-hopping sim, but if you consider it as a casual planet-hopping and exploration sim, then it is pretty fun. Yes, it can get a little boring, but you are free to leave and do something else in the galaxy. I think of it as an atmospheric game, and the atmosphere is pretty neat. I would recommend it to those that like casual, atmospheric games.

    This fantastic game has sadly been knocked around by the community. This game does not spoon feed players. You must constantly learn, reason, and struggle for survival while exploring a massive number of planets. Give this game a go as I believe that it is a fresh and positive new direction for true lovers video games.

    No Man's Sky is not for everybody and most people are probably either going to love or hate this game. If you're someone who blasts through the story mode and campaigns then look elsewhere because NMS will probably bore you after a week or 2. Lots of resource mining, traveling, upgrading, etc Basically a lot of Exploring!

    If tou enjoy visiting the zoo, meeting aliens who just sit, and constantly being yelled at for having low reaources of one type or another... Have I got the game for you. Seriously though, boring combat, boring aliens and just not a whole lot of fun.

    No Man's Sky is not a AAA big budget game, instead it is an indie developed game that received AAA marketing. As such, many people were outraged that the game did not have the kind of depth they thought. Personally, I believe the game succeeds by its OWN expectations. It accomplishes what it sets out to do, which is that it provides a chill, relaxed experience to explore weird planets.

    The game is pretty awesome for the first few hours. After that it becomes extremely repetitive. If your expecting what was shown by the developers at interviews or the game trailers you will be disappointed. Wait until you can get it for around $15.

    Amazing game concept, but boring over time.

    Game was amazing. The graphics were beautiful and the entire concept of the game was breath taking. The only problem is for the most part it's the same exact thing over and over again. It's a great game in short burst. It's not a game you can beat in 7 hours in one sitting. While the entire concept of the game was great, it will most likely be a game you pick up and put down repeatedly.

    The game started off fun for the first hour. Then I quickly realized that it was just the same thing, over and over and over again. This game had so much hype. So much potential. But they failed to deliver. Really sad I wasted my money on this.

    This game has received many negative reviews for being repetitive and boring, though I have found that it is relaxing and decently exciting to play. It is somewhat repetitive at the beginning, but new updates and patches will add new concepts and features, so it will never get stale. I completely love this game.
