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.

    It's okay if you like sandbox games

    It's a okay game. If you like a game like mine craft then it's for you. I enjoyed it for about 2 hours but then I got bored with it.

    I'm enjoying this game a lot, but it is a bit redundant in many aspects unfortunately. I wish it varied more planet to planet.

    Good exploring game, but shallow

    It's a good game for casual play where you can explore, but not very deep.

    Really cool

    So I haven't gotten to play as much as I would like and you are definitely thrown into the game w/out any instructions at all. You just figure it out as you go but so far it has been really cool exploring and trying to understand what I need to mine and do to get off my planet. More as I play.

    It could have done alot, but feels bland.

    A game with a ton of hype to me usually is just that, hopeful praise. The games launch was that of a mixed nightmare. We all know it. Some will simply praise it because they do not really care about too much depth in a game, even though the game was suggested to have much. I hope for the best of the game the devs can turn around its unfortunate luck and be a better game with tons of content updates and none of this "oops I am a silly goose we should charge for content". I plan to still hold on to my copy and keep my eyes on it to see if it turns out better. For now I will go and keep on playing Star Trek Online. At least the space battles are fun on that(and free)

    Watch some YouTube clips before you purchase. The gameplay is not my cup of tea, and frankly is not very polished either. Very repetitive, but some may dig it. Maybe wait until they patch the game some more too, I've had hard crashes on the PS4.

    Not worth the money

    Had this game for 1 week and probably put in 10 hours of game play. The first few hours were great and then the spun out into procedural h*ell. After visit the 10th planet out of 18 quintillion you come the stark realization the entire game is based on a copy/paste formula. What is the point of having this many planets that are pretty much the same with a different color palette. This not the game the developer promised. Save you money for something worth while or wait for it to hit the bargain bin for $10 bucks.

    Heard about the game over a year before release and was pumped for it! It didn't have a couple features I was really hoping the game would come out with from the beginning (being able to play with other players), but it's a small price to play. Would recommend to a friend!

    If you like scifi, minecraft, first person shooters, this game is perfect for you. Its open world is beyond big (with 18^15 planets it's practically infinite) and the workshop aspect will keep you planet hopping till the wee hours of the morning! Very addicting.

    Great space exploration game and time killer

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

    I love how this game was purposely designed to give you no clear direction and kid of leaves you wondering, "What am I supposed to do next?". I love the slow paced exploration of this game. Make no mistake though, this game will kill time quickly. I played for 6 hours straight and it felt like only 1/2 hour. I was so engrossed in the game and the need to further explore every nook and cranny of every planet I visited that time quickly got away from me. Buy this game if you are into Minecraft or Star Trek.

    I love this game. It's very good survival game and exploration is infinite. It has a slow pace so if that is not your speed, you should pass. If your a OCD gamer, you will lose soo much hours in this game. Everything I expected it to be.

    Its good Game without big story. You have to create your own story. You will feel like startrek voyager and some part of game like mining is little bit boring.But reaching new planet will give you thrill.I landed 10 different planets and each are unique.Awesome graphics.Good job NMS team.

    This game isn't for someone looking for maximum story but for a true explorer. Lots of repetition but still fun to explore, a little frustrating at first with the capacity issue in your suit/spaceship but keep going, it gets better!

    Has a lot of interesting ideas. I am hoping for post launch support. Hello Games did a great job with the game considering the size of their studio.
