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.

    I wanted to get this game when it came out, but from reading reviews it sounded bad. Finally got it and am really glad I did. Great game to relax with or play harder with. Updates have been great for the game. Can now build bases.

    I waited for all the updates to buy this game and it was definitely worth it, one of the best games I've played to date. If you enjoy roaming around space and seeing all different types of planets this is the game for you.

    This game was missing features promised by the developers when it launched but now the game has been completely overhauled and they've added new modes on top of the ones they prom. It is also getting full VR support with Psvr. Definitely worth it now.

    The concept is amazing, however, when you really get into it this game is a ridiculous amount of planets that you have to do the same thing on and it gets boring pretty quick..

    Overall I've come away feeling neutral about this game. It doesn't make good on its promises that many people took to heart, but it does have a certain charm and it is far better to simply chill out with rather than focus on.

    Interesting premise....I enjoyed all the vibrant colors in the game, but it didn't quite hold my attention as much as I'd hoped it would. However, I'm more into the story/adventure games anyway (i.e. Uncharted, Tomb Raider).

    It might not live up to what the creator promised us but I still feel it is a great game. The scope of this universe is truly incomprehensible. If you're into free roam and crafting you'll like this game. Hello Games regularly puts out patches and is constantly trying to make it better.

    Good For a "Thinking" Gamer

    No Mans Sky is good for a gamer that likes challenges of "thought" as well as gamer skills. This one encourages thinking and tweaks a real interest in the unexplored possibilities still floating around in outer space. Good also for a change of pace from the multitude of "war" games.

    With all the hype, I was looking forward to playing it. Within the hour, the game was repetitive. With no direction given, for the past 4 hours of gameplay, I've been trying to figure out how to get out of the second visited planet. I gave up on the game as the developers seemed to have disappointed everyone. Don't buy it. just redbox it and play it for one day. Your appetite to play it will be done in 2 hours.

    This game has been getting lots of hate for it's supposed lack of content. While the things you can do end up following a pattern, it takes many hours before you even notice. This game easily has 30-40 of gameplay as is and there is potential for it to be even greater via updates.

    Really looked forward to this game. Once I started playing it got bored really quick and have'nt picked it up since. Probaly would have been alot better if Bethesda made it.

    Reading required when playing this game, and some of the fonts are a bit small. My family hasn't played it much yet, but so far, has been placed at the bottom of the pile. Not real intuitive from our brief experience.

    with the latest patches alongside the massive NEXT patch, this game is a fun time. You can now play with friends and explore the galaxy. If you like mindless exploration then you will like this game.

    My son enjoys the video game. He likes the infinite universe that's out there. The constant need for refilling your life meter and recharging the suit was a pain and a large distraction from actually enjoying the game.

    Yes there are quintillions of planets to explore but it's just the same repetitive gameplay with nothing really else to offer besides jus exploring. Not satisfied at all!

    This is a game I play whenever I feel stressed. It is completely relaxing. I do not go in thinking I am going to get this accomplished or that. However, I just know that I will have a good relaxing time flying around and discovering new planets. It is actually quite fun to play.

    The game gets very repetitive rather quickly. If you like single player games with lots of grinding, this game will be for you. If not, then look for a different game.

    This game was great for about the first 8 hours. Then the boredom and the grind sets in. It never leaves after that. Save your money or buy it used if you are curious.
