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.

    So far, this has been the best game of 2016. It's fun, and they did a great job where you can explore and find hidden and special events. I definitely would get this game.

    It's the bum out of the year really after such hype throughout. It's repeativeness kills it, and that's coming directly from somebody who enjoys Destiny. Wish I could recommend this original idea. Sad story bro.

    there is no way that this game is finished. after abut 15 hours of gameplay, i felt that i have seen and done everything. the game is very boring and unfinished. i really hope that more content is added in the future. this would have been a good purchase for 20$...not 60$.

    I got this at a great price thanks to Best Buy's Reward Program. However, the game fell way short of expectations. Gameplay was very repetitive and shallow. Ended up trading it back in at my first opportunity.

    This game was so heavily hyped, and I bought into it. The game is fun at first, but the gameplay gets repetitive after a while. Find new planet, name it, explore/gather, fly away. Rinse, repeat, ad nauseum.

    Too much hype on this game. Showed lots of promise, just didn't pan out in the end. Too repetitive and not enough story or mystery. If the developer had a larger team and more money, it could have been great.

    This game is great. The updates and patches have made this a superb game. Yes it did take a while to actually get the game to where it's at now, but it was worth the wait. There is so much to do and explore, I don't think I'd ever get tired of this game.

    While many people have tried running this game into the ground with negative reviews, I found this game a great way to unwind after a long day. Visually appealing and not too mentally tasking, it's always fun to run around a planet. Probably not for those who dislike resource management however, as that is a main game mechanic

    Bought this for my 9 and 11 year old son. It's a little difficult for my 9 year old to figure everything out, but he still plays and has fun. My 11 year old loves the survival and mining features, traveling to other planets, etc. Great game.

    The exploration aspect of the game is what I was most looking forward to and No Mans Sky delivered. However, it does get a little bit redundant the fifth or sixth star system. Overall, the game is very fulfiling and provides what seems like a long story to come.

    Not a bad game... just not for me. If you love crafting, exploring, and more exploring , and even more exploring... this games for you. No, that's not sarcasm. That's basically what you will be doing .
