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 really enjoy this game. I know there is a lot of haters out there and they're entitled to their opinion. I however like the exploring and crafting.

    Very boring. Do not recommend. A gazillion planets, none of which has anything remotely interesting on it.

    New updates are going good... Good mindless game and for killing time. A lot of exploring and definitely a different kind of niche game, but worth it at the prices you can find it for now.

    Not too bad for a space travel sim. Looks great but after a few planets you see the repetitiveness slip in. Still fun to play in short bursts.

    It's really just a glorified mining game. Not at all what I had hoped based on developer descriptions.

    This is truly a never ending game. You can explore endless worlds and meet multiple alien life forms as you collect items to improve your ship and exo-suit. Time really flies playing this.

    It's fun at first but gets old and repetitive fast. The ability to set custom waypoints and a map in general would really benefit this game.

    It's fun if you like to adventure, but it's not as fun as you think I've played for a couple hours and thought everything was pretty nice n creative. There isn't too much of a goal, you just go from planet to planet where everything is pretty much the same. It'd be better if you could play with friends and/or start a clan or make a planet your own.

    I really like the way you can get lost in this game and just enjoy your time traveling the universe. It takes too long at times to get from point A to point B but I didn"t mind it.

    This game is primarily mining supplies to purchase and improve the items/ships you have. If you know that, then this game isn't bad.
