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.

    If you like Minecraft and Star Trek this is a great mix of both!!! A pretty laid back game with moments of excitement with found combat with sentinels on the ground and pretty fun space combat. I'm enjoying it still at about 30hrs in(it gets better once you upgrade suit storage and get a ship with more storage slots.

    The game had so much hype it was fail. So many lies were told about the game, if u really want it I suggest that you take ur time on each planet. I kinda like but it doesn't have my full attention.

    All the people saying negative things about this game didn't know much about it. The game is amazing to explore and with all of the updates they will bring to change the game it's going to continously evolve and become much more amazing than it already is

    Very attractive to play but could use more instructions as how to play. I know I am 70 years old but have been a game player for years. I'm sure once I take the time, I will learn how it's played. I think I was expecting more of a Spore type game.

    Similar to starbound without the in-depth crafting system. There's some crafting, but I have yet to see anything beyond small items. Planet exploration is addicting.

    This game really was nothing like what I thought it was going to be. I get that it has had updates to it, but I haven't felt the need to want to try those updates even.

    I bought this for myself to play while my boyfriend plays his video games. It wasn't my style - there are few instructions to start out and if you get a randomized planet that is extremely difficult to survive in - it makes it that much harder to do anything. I love the concept and the difficulty of surviving in multiple environments, but there was a lot of stuff that the game did not explain that was imperative to progressing in the game. I'd recommend for others who have time to find out how to do everything. I just wanted something that I didn't have to put much effort into, as a distraction from work.

    I bought this game excited about the limitless worlds to explore. But I quickly realized it's limitless and yet there is nothing really new anywhere. The game become monotonous real quickly.

    I realized after I landed on my second planet that this was about it. I did play for many hours afterwards just to confirm my fears. Should've spent this $60 on a nice meal with the family.

    As many reviewers have said, this game is too ambitious for its own good. The technology is cool, but the game just isn't FUN as it should be and starts to get repetitive after awhile.

    I was expecting a bit more from this game. I am not a gamer, so maybe this is part of my problem, but while this game is beautiful, it lacks in explanations for what we are expected to do.

    I am still not quite where I want to be in gameplay for this items. So I will revisit review when I have spent more time on it. So far the graphics are fine. Not the best, but it is okay. Depends on personal preferences in gameplay.

    I have waited for a price drop for this game for a long time. Finally Best Buy put it on sale and I played it. The game is long and grind if you are going for platinum (I am still trying) but it's pretty good fun too.

    This was a gift for my little brother for Christmas and he seems to really enjoy playing it. I'll admit that I was skeptical getting this at first because it seemed a little older for a child his age, but he has fun playing it. He was super excited to be able to play it so it was worth the buy.

    I liked this at launch but understood the criticism, but all the updates they’ve added have really turned this into an amazing game, I highly recommend trying it again if you skipped it before or felt letdown at launch.

    This is a basic game that doesn't achieve any of the promised features. Don't buy this game play Elite Dangerous instead it's a lot better.

    It's a solid game but very repetitive. Honestly, I was hoping it'd be more of "Cosmos: The Game", with a magical sense of discovery than the survival/resource management game it is.

    Super repetitive and boring... Made to be an exploration game and they reused the same structures with no significant variation over and over. Every planet felt like the last one.
