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.

    The developers of this game are liars

    This game was marketed as a space exploration game with multiplayer capabilities. At release and at the time of typing this this review, there is NO multiplayer function in this game, aside from being able to see planets named by other players. The game also has a very bad frame rate and cumbersome inventory system leaving you stressed for inventory space constantly.

    While the game is interesting, I can say after the first week I haven't really touched it. I'd wait for it to be a lot cheaper before I picked it up

    If you enjoy boring, yet visually stunning games then No Man's Sky is for you! It had so much potential but they really missed the mark on this one.

    Fun for the random generating engine the devs came up with for this game. If you played RPG's and loved COLLECTING then this game is for you! I doubt I'll ever get to the center of the universe...

    This is an awesome space exploration/survival game. This visuals, music, and overall feel of the game puts a smile on my face every time I play it.

    The game is fun at first, but lacks the longevity of other games. It is repetitive and gets boring fast.

    I pre-ordered this game because my son begged me to get it. It was supposed to be the new hot game of the season. It was a dud. He played it for like 2 days and got bored. He wants to play with his friends not just aimlessly roam around the universe. I also saw the game and I was quite disappointed with the quality and robustness of the worlds. Don't waste your money. They have to a make some major changes before this becomes a "good" game.

    The review summary explains the game. It is missing a few aspects that were described before pre launch which leads to a bit of a let down.

    A one of a kind experience. In my eyes lives up to all the hype. There is a bit of a learning curve. Once thats done amazing. At times i feel like Matt Damon in the Martian. Awesome!

    This was a decent tech demonstration of procedural generation but it was not actually a good game.
