No Man's Sky Reviews

If you love chill grinding and endless exploration, this is your game! There is a real coolness here, but... I simply need more of a connection to the universe itself. It's not really dangerous to do anything. The NPCs really feel like placeholders (desperately need voice overs). The space stations feel really, really dated, ultra minimalistic feeling. The space station/teleporter mechanic makes it so you don't get that "middle of nowhere" vibe one might expect in a game like this. On that note, the constant emergence of NPC spaceships appearing and flying around everywhere is so weird. It's like I'm in downtown New York no matter where I go, traffic everywhere. I just want to get away from civilization lol! It really really really needs a sense of survival beyond hazardous conditions... seriously. And, I guarantee any PS3 airplane/spaceship game had equal or better flight mechanics. The gameflow just feels weird, lacking any sense of connection or immersion in a really cool universe. It is a grinders paradise though!!!

I enjoy this game mostly for the chill exploration and beautiful scenery. It has a lot of optional systems that are fun to check out, but most of them are undercooked. Base building is one exception. I do lose interest after a while, but the regular updates (which are free and substantial) keep me coming back. I've played for hundreds of hours across multiple platforms. It's a good game, and one that works offline and does not include microtransactions.

I think this game have made a lot of improvement since it launch, however I feel like this game is just not for me. I spent a good amount of time in it and had enjoy my time, however it get to a point where everything kind of feel stale. This game is much better with other people, but that is where it end for me. I enjoy exploring, but after a while, every planet start feeling the same. You either scan all the life forms and minerals around or go around finding things around the map. They are repeated on every planet by the way. On top of all of this, the quests are very bland. They are all fetch quests or go from point A to B. This include the main quests. I can only do so many of these before I say this is boring. The grind for better things and having a huge amount of money also feel like it not that important in this game. I mean what the point of money if there is nothing to buy? What the point of the most powerful S class ship if nothing could kill you when you were in your basic C class ship fully upgraded? There just too much grind just for the sake of it. This game is a 7/10 for me. I like it, but I don't think I can recommend it for people that don't like grinding like I do.

Hello Games didn't quit on this game, through years of refining and enhancement, it is now a full 180 of what it had been at the start. They went further and beyond, blowing expectations after expectations, they've redeemed themselves putting most game companies to shame. You can see that they put their soul and heart into this game and I believe that there will be more to come.

It's been two years since I last played this game, and with the massive content updates between 2023 and 2025 it's like walking into a fresh, new experience. No Man's Sky is a game where you can kick back, relax, and find your place in the universe. It's a game absolutely deserving of a try especially after it's huge comeback from it's initial launch nine years ago.

Honestly, didn't think I would love this game so much. But, after the years since its launch, it became an awesome game! My recommendation? Buy, play, enjoy exploring the worlds!

This game is amazing. Playing it with a good friend is even more fun. The universe is almost infinite with trillions of stars, planets and galaxys. And yet this world feels so alive. After discovering stars and planets you can discover them after you. My goal is the disover a new galaxy and name it after myself. This game offers infinite freedom and yet enoug storry and meaningfll missions and goals to not get completel lost in this vast, vast universe. The developers of No Man's Sky - Hello Games - they are the best, most engaged and motivated developers I do know so far. They improve the game non-stop with extreme cool content and new features. Less than 1% of the NMS universe was discovered so far by all players around the word, meaning 99% of star systems were undiscovered. Now Hello Games just added a few hundert billions new star systems to the existing NMS universe. Best developers of planet earth!

this game have everything, it's like a restaurant that serve fries curry Kimchi Jjigae and pizza with burger!

NMS had a rough start, but years of hard work have erased that blemish. Free updates multiple times per year, an amazing dev team that listens to community feedback and puts their game and players first, profit second. 10/10 cannot recommend highly enough

For a very long time i claimed it just wasn't for me. I played it at a friend's house on console back in 2016 or 2017 and if you haven't heard about the launch it wasn't... great. So I wrote it off until last year after I heard all the work that went into it and the depth of mechanics and it sounded like an all new game so I got it, booted it, immediately got overwhelmed and returned it. But it kept eating at me that there was more to learn and do and when it went on sale again I told myself I was just gonna read every tutorial and not worry about all the warnings going off when you start it. The big thing that turned me off was when you start a new game all your systems have gone down and you need to one-by-one repair everything and that was scaring me, but I can blame that on myself not liking multi-stressor situations and getting scared and confused. Menu nav was a little confusing but that's also me being a bad typist. But now that I'm back i can say I really like it. It's a LOT of resource management. Different planets have different hazards that drain different shields that take different fuels to recharge. And I'm ok with that because discovering and building and upgrading everything is so much fun. I found a really nice nature planet early on and put a base there, then you can build a teleporter and power it with the sun so I can visit it any time. I'm learning the languages and discovering ruins and treasure, running away from fights because I'm weak as balls, and you just keep finding new planets and it feels so good. So far I have jumped one system and made almost no progress because I'm just having so much fun wandering and learning. It's a big hurdle at first but once you realize how easy it is to find starship fuel and other necessities it's a lot easier to just wander and have fun. I'm glad I didn't give up on it and I'm glad Hello Games didn't give up on it either. Definitely give it a chance.
