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.

    Boring and a bit buggy. We’re supposed to get updates. We’ll see.

    My review title says it all. This game is incredibly beautiful science fiction art that you can live inside. Total dream come true to be able to see a planet's moon, hop in a ship and go stand on the surface. Not for the RPG/character progression minded. Enjoy it for what it is over a nice glass of scotch!

    I wanted so much more from this game. After about 5 hours it became clear this would be a extremely repetitive grind fest. As much "variety" as there is, there is no variety in gameplay. It's all about inventory management...not for me, sigh

    This promised to be such a great game. Don't get me wrong, the first hour was great, but then you realize it's the same thing over and over again. Overall I give this a MEH rating. Do yourself a favor and buy it used (mine is for sale :) )

    This game looks great and I really like the concept of being able to fly from world to world seamlessly. But sadly it was pretty boring. Played it for a few hours, but I never find myself wanting to go back to it. Haven't played it since.

    No Man's Sky is impressive in its scale, but disappointing in its narrative and gameplay variation. There simply aren't enough different gameplay mechanics to keep your journey interesting for more than a few hours. Recommended only for people that value pure exploration in games above all else.

    Just a big indie game

    Don't expect an A-level game like Uncharted, Mass Effect, Halo, Mario, etc.. It's more of an indie game and not worth the A-game price. It's like Sony promised us a gourmet burger but delivered a happy meal instead. Huge disappointment.

    No Man's Sky has done for space exploration what Mario did for jumping. What @hellogames has done isn't just change the landscape of gaming, they have changed the landscape of entertainment and maybe life itself.

    I absolutely love this game. The art is fantastic and exploring is amazing. It is not for the Call of Duty enthusiast or RPG lover so don't think that purchasing this game will have everything you can imagine. For those that want to sit and chill while searching a near infinite universe, enjoy it!

    I haven't put too many hours into this yet but so far it's been a unique experience. Was a little unclear how to progress and build my ship up in the beginning but once I got the idea of things I've had fun with the exploration aspect of the game. Found a pre-owned copy for $19.99 and think it's well worth the purchase. A nice addition to my PS4 collection

    Bought this as a gift for my girlfriend. She has been playing for two weeks now and seems to like it. The graphics are good and gameplay is fun. There is a lot of time to be spent reading and using menu screens. When you finally fly around the universe you will be fascinated by the Galaxy!

    If you go into this game thinking it's going to be amazing, you might be right. Certain parts of it are, at least as an experience. But, if you go in thinking you'll get a great game...you very well could find yourself disappointed.

    Game is very boring, planets are very boring, space travel is boring, cant go far for fear of running out of fuel in everything and dying. If you want to put toddlers to sleep or annoying in-laws i highly recommend this game.......

    This game can be fun if you enjoy exploring and peaceful music. But don't expect lots of space action in this game. There are many worlds but they all feel the same. There are NPCs,but you feel like the only person in the universe. It's not a bad game. It just gets boring really quickly.
