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 not what they said it would be. It is missing multiplayer, large scale space fights and lots of other options. It is worth playing for about two days. Then it get late real repetitive. Mine craft with better graphics.

    Fun, but definitely an acquired taste.

    Initially its fun jumping from planet to planet and virtually living the dream of space travel. After the 10th planet you kinda find the universe you're playing is somewhat hollow and lacking something to hook players in. But that being said, the very idea and scale of this game is nothing short of amazing considering the fact that only 15 people worked on it.

    No man sky is only a fraction of what the game developer had promised. This game is a bait and switch. It's an average exploration game at best. No multiplayer, there are no factions and you can't play the game entirely in space.

    Lots of broken promises and missing features. What's there is fun for a couple hours but gets boring really fast. If you like games like minecraft or other games that require lots of grinding maybe this is the game for you.

    I was sold on an intimate single player experience. I was also told of many different ways I'd be able to tackle this kind of game ... I was interested in seeing two factions at war and my option to engage or ignore. I hope the developers are still at work trying to make that happen.

    This is a nice exploration game for the first few hours, but after a few hours it becomes repetitive without much direction. The developers failed on their promises and for 60 dollars there is not enough content for the price

    So the object of the game is that you explore. It's a nice time killer and the graphics were good. Downside is that you will never meet your friends online and show off your planet. It's a ok game but if it had a team exploring options with your friends I would say it'll be great.

    There's no denying the scope of this game, It's unparalleled. Depending on how you choose to play the game, you could complete the basic storyline in a maybe 20 to 30 hours, but if you're the explorer type, you may never finish this game. I personally think the game is beautiful and the gameplay is perfect as a slow paced/follow your path adventure.

    The game was awesome at first. It was a new feel of video games. Visiting different planets that are new everytime. But after visiting multiple planets they are the same exact thing, it's just a couple things may of have changed. Physically they are all built the same. Visually they change kinda. It was a great idea but there is also nothing else to do In the game but gather resources. Lacks a lot of content. Game was very hyped for nothing. Only played it for a good couple days until I got bored.

    This game is totally worth any amount of money you spend on it. If you love open world games then this is a must have. So much content and you will literally never run out of anything to do. The planets and solar systems are gorgeous, even the super dangerous one. Super addicting.

    A lot of people were furious with NO MAN'S SKY for being disappointing. However, I was not one of the millions who were looking forward to it. When I picked it up, it was out of curiosity, and its not as bad as people make it out to be. Its not what was advertised, but neither was Halo 5. Fun, turn your brain off, kind of game. Minecraft like.

    This game made me buy a PS4. Think of it like Minecraft, but with actual goals in the game, and objectives, and 18 Quintilian times the size of Minecraft, oh and modern graphics. I can get into this game, unlike minecraft.
