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.

    Why is it still a full price game?

    I played this game on PC but looking at this page makes me wonder... Why is it still selling for the full price? It's a well knows fact by now that the game was completely misrepresented to gamers and it's nowhere near the quality that was promised. Basically it's no where near the $60 asking price and should be brought down to $20 or even less. Even its developers are basically bailing on this game and have been literally hiding for over a month, and the company is now being investigated by consumer protection agencies for fraud. Do not buy it for this price.

    Solid and Imaginative Experience

    If you are into more laid back, sandbox experiences then No Man's Sky is your game. Your main objectives are to mine and craft items so that you can explore the vast amount of planets there are. It's definitely a unique experience but for me I'd rather play a game with fixed objectives and a narrative.

    Can Be Better

    This game could have been a lot better if multiplayer was originally put into it. That's why I gave this a 4 star. But everything is pretty cool. I like how they made it a competitive way to be the first person to discover, explore, and get to the center of the galactic universe.

    Fun game worth putting time into

    At first the game is a little confusing, they don't explain much but once you get the hang of it, it's really interesting and a lot of fun. Once you get the hyperdrive fuel you can explore different universes and the game really opens up. Unlike any other game I've ever played.

    Lived up to hype

    A lot of gamers are trying to pick this game apart, but I love it. While its not the best at everything it does, the amount of things to do in this game impresses me. Grind for resources, explore planets, oceans, caves, forest, fight with space pirates, be a space pirate, make your living as a trader. I have yet to make it to the center, and I imagine it will take me a while to get there. 25 hours played and I am in no rush to put this game down. and Hello Games seems pretty committed to perfecting the game and giving the players a great experience.

    The good ole days

    If you remember Starflight from the 80's you'll love this game. There are a massive amount of upgrades for your character, ship, and gun. Of course the exploring part is my favorite. Flying through atmosphere just like an astronaut. You trade items you find, materials, and craft parts to the indigenous races on the world. Hence it's like Starflight. Also reminds me of Tradewars 2000 and old BBS game. It's a real killer app for the Playstation. There is a review where one guy is still on the starting world. He hasn't even left yet. I've explored only two worlds so far. It's just massive. The upgrades are addictive. I just got a plasma mod for my mining tool. Back to gaming.

    The game can get boring quicker then most game cause it's repetitive... Planets more or less look alike... But the item of it all is pretty cool.. Just wish it was more too it since it's a AAA, game.. More like an indie development

    This game is very exciting! There is so much to do. Although it's sort of the same thing over and over again. But it's still awesome. I wish the multiplayer was better though.

    This game is great if you enjoy flying around collecting things to craft other things. It's pretty and the music is nice but it's not very action oriented.

    great game for exploration, although the fact that it doesn't save your discoverys for longer than 2 weeks is kinda weak, still fun, amazingly beautiful, and i cant wait to play it with vr.

    Amazing Game

    I have been hyped about this game for over a year now and I have to say it exceeded expectations. I know it has some really bad reviews but this is one of those games where you are either like me and its your new favorite game and you absolutely love it or you hate it with a passion. Gotta say very unique game and totally worth the wait, highly recommend.

    Decent game bad marketing

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I think this game is okay i am mad that I bought it for 60 dollars. The problem is that it isn't a horrible game and some people would love it, but they said that they would have so many more features than they did. Some examples are faction wars, choosing a faction would actually matter, developed space combat, multiplayer, developed combat, choosing a role like space pirate (you can't steal anything) or being a trader which they said there would be trade paths which traders could use to trade with aliens. None of that was there. The combat also is very bad. i avoided doing anything bad just because of the horrible combat. Also they said the game would have a story, which it didn't. Wait till this game is on sale for about 15 dollars then buy it.
