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 had so much promise. In reality the graphics are poor and the game has no point. Very disappointed.

    Not a game for me. Very less action. Spend initial 5 hours just exploring. Takes too much time to get to a particular spot. Hoped a lot from this game. Graphics are OK.

    Do you like Star Trek? Feel the need to explore strange new worlds and seek out new life and new civilizations? This is the game for you! Just hope for a nontoxic world to start out with. Beautiful colors and graphics!

    I've played this game several times after purchasing it and I'm still not sure I understand the point of it. There is no tutorial and the game is not very intuitive.

    This game was inspirational at first. The thought of exploring the universe was enticing. However uppon playing there is a lack of existing cultures and life forms.

    For a vast galaxy, it is very bare and repetitive. Such hype for such a below standard product. I had to trade it in....

    Best price I could find. Easy to buy online. Staff were super friendly when I picked it up. The game is fun and my son loves it. Great if you like open world games and steadily growing storylines.

    Even with all the patches, still a buggy and janky game. I encountered several crashes within my first hour or so of playing. Glad I waited for a sale price.

    The game starts out great, with the promise of infinite worlds to explore, but soon you realize that you've basically seen all there is in the first few hours.

    Things that were promised before weren't included in the game. The devs refuse to acknowledge this game is a failure.

    No man's sky is a great game. I dont know why all the hate around this game. People just got over hyped with their own thoughts. For me, I find the game pretty interesting and well done (for an indie game).
