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 was really hyped for this game, but it's boring and there's too much micromanagement involved.

    The game is very creative and takes a new approach. The first 10-20 hours is a lot of fun, but you start to run out of new things to do.

    This is a good game overall but a little long. The exploration is repetitive, with every site being based on the same five or six basic maps. After a while it is a bit redundant.

    After the free "Next" update the game feels much better. Worth checking out for $20 unless you're on Xbox. If you want more combat I'd suggest Elite Dangerous.

    The game is well advanced technologically, but is a little lacking in creativity. There's not much point to exploring it fully.

    this game would have been worth playing of it cost 10, not 60. Good idea but bad execution.

    This game is amazing. Basically you fly around the galaxy trying to get to the middle. However the real game is mining elements, fighting crazy monsters, interacting with aliens, buying new space ship and multi tools. It has 18,000,000,000,000,000,000 plants to explore. If you like Minecraft or survival games, you definitely need to pick this up!

    Even with the new additions to the game it’s still an okay game. I would wait to get this game if it’s on sale.

    This is a game that really has no point- so its really relaxing. Simply explore your galaxy and look at the pretty things it has. More of an experience than a game.

    While there isn't a whole lot to do in the game other then explore and gather resources, exploring is very awesome in the game.

    Great game, lots to explore minus the fact that your inventory fills up quick, both personal and your ship. But still a great game.
