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 got this game free after redeeming some Best Buy Reward points. The game is fun if you like to explore different worlds and enjoy crafting. There will be updates that will add more to the game as well.

    Not the game that was described in all the build up. It's fun for the first few planets, but I would not buy again.

    My son was excited about this game, but quickly got bored after a week. Maybe it was just him, but many promises made by developer seem to have not worked.

    Great game for all ages. Make sure to update the game to play it to its best ability. Game can be played both offline and online. Game is mostly about discovering new things so it may not be for everyone.

    He just turned 9. He’s enjoying exploring and traveling to different worlds. I’d recommend this game if your looking to get it for your kids.

    This was a little bit disappointing. I was really looking forward to this game. The graphics are impressive and the gameplay is exactly what's expected.

    The game was nothing like what was promised. However if you played it just for fun, then it's ok to kill time.

    While fun in the first few hours. The game gets old fast, crashes often, and has no communication from the Dev.

    About 15 hours of gameplay before you get bored - wouldn't recommend unless you get an amazing deal on it.

    Awesome game with tons of expandability. If you love exploring, resourcing, engineering, and learning during gameplay this game is for you!

    This game got very repetitive very quickly. I found myself exploring new galaxies and planets and feeling like I was in a loop. The planets and animals are randomly generated which is understandable considering the amount of planets and animals in the game, but the trailer is just very misleading.

    It's a decent game if you manage to get it for around 10 bucks like me then pull the trigger if not then your really not missing out on anything.

    This game is very grind heavy and isolated. Impressive that each planet is different but in the end you'll be spending hours grinding for resources.

    A misunderstood game

    While not perfect, this game still had a lot going for it at release. If anything HelloGames deserves praise for what they accomplished with an Open Universe engine...in the right developer hands someone could do amazing work. But here we are a year later and a recent patch (1.31) added a ton of new content that really adds special layer to the game it was otherwise missing. If you had doubt before, now is the time to play this game.

    This is not my favorite game but I was going to buy it regardless of the hype or reviews. Others may find it overpriced but I have a lot of money.
