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.

    This game could be something giving a ton of upgrades. When they get to the 20th patch this game could be a contender. It's pretty bland right now.

    You need to invest a lot of time in order to get anything out of this game. I did not like it but I appreciated the type of game it is. Don;t impulse buy this one... try it before you buy it!

    I feel like a bought a game that should've been two more years in development. Then again, two years more of development probably wouldn't have changed my feelings about the core experience.

    This is not the space game you are looking for

    This game is not great. After the initial wonder of exploring whatever world you start on wears off, it becomes a tedious repetitive task. In trying to make a vast universe they made everything in it flat and meaningless. You fly from planet to planet mining materials that you'll mostly just use for your life support and find the same plants and stations on every one. Besides the color/environment and the procedurally generated creatures (which you'll still notice the same parts of) each planet starts to look the same. Save your money.

    Came in to add a line to my phone plan and port a number over. Alek did an amazing job with the transaction, explaining everything great along the way! So glad I can do my mobile business with Best Buy Mobile instead of the carrier store!

    If you love astronomy and playing a game that gives you freedom of exploration of nearly infinite possibilities, this game is for you. Graphics are very good and game play is smooth.

    Must admit I fell for the hype on this one. Thought it was going to be the best game, but I was wrong. Never got drawn in from the get go.

    This game had too much hype for it's own good. With that said, even without the hype considered, this is worse than most $10 indie games.

    Here is the game: Collect stuff. Go to another planet. Rinse and repeat. If you enjoy wasting your time, don't hesitate to buy this game.

    This game is really ahead of its time. Granted when it came out it had a rough time, but over the years it has really evolved into one of the best game experiences out there. Pick this one up!

    This game is very confusing and doesnt really walk you through what you are to do from the beginning. If you like figuring out how a game is played then this is your game.

    this is a great change of pace. Explore everything and everywhere,uploading your findings and naming planets,animals,and whole solar systems is amazing. This game is not for everyone but definitely a top 10 title for this year.

    This game is not the worst, but it's certainly not worth $60. For $20, I would still question this purchase though, because you run out of stuff to do almost immediately.
