Had it since launch, have all achievments and finaly uninstalled forever as its unplayable to but it nicely. 0,5/10 I like games that are fun, not ones that have constant 50gb updates adding much nothing, bugs that keep killing You, items that get removed after updates, who cares You spent hours and hours grinding theme etc. It feels like cheap korean mmo, not a space explorasion game. I rather play Elite dangerous or Entropia universe. Elite on good ol NES is more fun than nms curent version :)

[@charlesrhodes1089]

Started playing for the first time today. Fixed my ship and decided to explore the planet a little before leaving. I found a structure and got a quest, I guess? Follow the marker to a ball, pick it up, alert comes up, sprint to my ship, take off, sentinels are shooting at me. First combat experience in the game. I killed two of them, but I didn't know how many waves were coming or if it ever stopped, so I flew into space for the first time and died. now I'm on a space station, I guess.

[@bolognatious1684]

I played the game at launch, and never before had I played a game that made me feel more alone or bored lmao. Then I played again when they added the first exocrafts, and vibe still felt off. I gave it some time and just started playing again with the Omega update... The game is now insanely addicting, fun, never feels lonely, beautiful... It's my dream space exploration game by taking these awesome space tropes, and not following the cliche or copying it at all. It's so unique and a dream. The fact that there's like 90 different gameplay loops allows for genuinely limitless playability. Also the combat reworks feel really good, the upgrades and especially space combat are something amazing. The combat still isn't perfect but it genuinely feels like a gameplay aspect now. The fact that I can become a space pirate and experience these massive battles, is incredible considering that they're so fun, and barely 1% of the game.

[@FlyingFox86]

I would somewhat disagree that every planet feels unique. You realize after a while that each planet type has only a few potential looks. You know roughly what shape of rocks/plants to expect when landing on a radioactive planet, for example. You also know what to expect in terms of points of interest. They are the same on every planet, with the exception of dead planets and uninhabited systems. Don't get me wrong, there is still a large amount of exploring before the planets become repetitive, and even then you can still stumble on something particularly unique.

[@florian2927]

I agree. Same thing for toxic flora for example. They look almost the same everywhere. I wish they’d add more diversity in buildings

[@DarthMohammedRules]

True, for sure. I mean, the land masses and color schemes and environmental hazards and flora/fauna are kinda mixed and shuffled, but essentially, I'd say before you hit 100 hours, you're not gonna see a whole lot of new stuff that's totally unique. There's still a ton of variety, and they do a decent job of mixing and matching, though. And in spite of some very similar stuff, quite a bit of it is really impressive-looking, especially the first time you really start getting into it and exploring. I say all the time, I've never taken so many screenshots in a single game EVER!! They all make REALLY cool desktop backgrounds.

I feel like alot of new players are coming tbh I want to make a little post here with a couple money making method for early game. Nothing to crazy op as I don't want spoil the game for you its nice to discover stuff. But heres a couple easy things you can do. 1. Find a planet with ancient bone burial sites. Get a decent speedy pet and go and collect them. They show up with a gold icon similer to salvaged data. While using the scanner some are worth 1.8 mill most are worth 100k to 250k. 2. Collect storm Crystal's potentially . From extreme storm planets. If your goner do this also make sure your buying materials from galatic terminals and other aliens. Theres alot of materials you can buy very cheap to save you hassle later :) as it will drain your hazard protection fast. Worth about 250 k each. 3. Goto a planet with gravinto balls. They will be everywhere and close by. you will likely get attacked by sentinals don't worry just ignore them keep collecting gravtino balls keep running along. After about 20 minutes your goner make about 2.8 million from collecting these easily. Build bases at the planets with these sellables. even if there just small outposts. And then you can teleport to those planets with the goal of collecting those items and it's another rewarding gameplay loop. Which adds another kinder mission you can do. Maybe you can search for the oldest fossil worth the most and keep it as treasure. Maybe there are fossils worth more then 1.8 mill I haven't found yet.

[@DrewBoivie]

No Man's Sky has actually been in a good place for a while now. That being said, players don't spend all that long in it before they have seen "everything". There are a limited number of buildings, planets, ships, weapons, and so on. Expeditions do a good job of adding enough content for a new run every few months, though.

[@JD99-zj3gq]

There is not much to do once you got a good starship, freighter and base, unless you like to do the same stuff over and over again.

[@DrewBoivie]

@@JD99-zj3gq I totally agree. The game lacks long-term goals. Unless you are a creative type or like to build huge structures, all the accomplishments can be finished in a few hours.

[@JD99-zj3gq]

@@DrewBoivie Yep, and that wouldn't be a problem, if the things you can do would give you a lot of freedom, but you don't have that freedom. Take for example the new update that allows you to build a ship. Well, it's not really "building" when you can only build with like 6 parts, right? On top of that, all the ships will still generally look the same as a result, so there is really no incentive to spend much time on it. There is also a lot of stuff added to the game that artificially stretches the length of the game. The fact that you need 5,000 nanites just to buy a new color for your freight is a good example of that. But the biggest problem I have with No Man's Sky is the lack of quality of life updates. I've been playing PC games for about 40 years, and I can say an IBM certified interface designer, that this game has one of the worse user interfaces I ever came across for PC users.... by far. I'm not kidding when I say that I could write a book about it. The game itself is quite enjoyably however, but in my opinion it does quickly go stale.

[@jamespalmer9033]

That's really interesting - as someone who bounced off NMS at release because it was quintillions of planets wide but the gameplay was as shallow as a teaspoon, it sounds like they've continued to go wider and wider with more different activities and subsystems for players to engage with, but without really adding much more *depth* to the game at any point. It kind of looks like that perennial problem with procedurally generated games that it's easy to infinitely generate _content_ , but really hard to generate _meaning_ or _variety_ for any of it... and without meaning and meaningful variety even infinite content quickly gets stale and boring. It would be amazing what would be possible if NMS managed to add any kind of emergent narrative to the game, instead of packing the toolbox more and more full of pretty but simplistic and quickly-played-out toys.

3 weeks in and loving it. Exploration is my favourite thing to do in a game and nms is great for that. It is a steep learning curve, you just have to take it slow and enjoy not knowing wtf is going on for a while, It all becomes clearer eventually and it's a great ride. As for the combat, never cared much about it. Pew pew, things are dead, hopefully not you. Satisfying in a way but no depth to it, imo.

How has your experience been? It’s been a month? Are you enjoying visiting planets? Do you have an incentive to explore?

[@SilverBrumby165]

I'm still really enjoying it. There's s much to learn and do, I feel as if I haven't really scratched the surface. I"m learning a lot from the Omega expedition - it introduces you to a lot of the key aspects of the game, including some I hadn''t experienced yet. It can be a bit frustrating, but on the whole it's fun. As for exploration, the incentive is the exploration itself - so many different interesting worlds. I found a frothing planet yesterday and acquired a companion in the form of a large colourful bubble that leaks red goo as it floats beside you - very bizarre and also cool. I could wish the base building interface was a bit easier to use but I'm coping with it. Why do you ask - are you wanting to get into it?

[@KamleshMallick]

@@SilverBrumby165 I watched this beginners guide video and I really like metal mining and crafting at the start. It is very interesting. I have been wanting to get the game but always postponed it, as I enjoyed Empyrion Galactic Survival more as it had prettier planets in my eyes! I put in 400+ hours before uninstalling this year with a heavy heart... It was my favorite space survival game . Loved exploring planets, building bases, designing ground hover vessels, space crafts and large capital vessels. But I felt its time had come. When Starfield launched, I was excited and I thought of playing it as a sandbox game - forget bout the quests, faction stuff and just role play as a scientist by scanning, surveying and exploring planets. Build some small outposts in planets I like to satisfy my crafting, decorating addiction and keep exploring and surveying planets. But the lack of in atmosphere flight and ground vehicles completely destroyed my interest. Now I'm really thinking bout No Man's Sky. I enjoy mining, crafting, base building, flying ships etc. So I guess its worth trying No Mans Sky! Your review helped. Thank dude!

​@@KamleshMallick Get the game. You'll love it. It also has the best community of any game.

[@fizzypanic]

I bought the game and will be playing it later this week, but I wish they made the combat a bit more extensive, I like space combat

[@kankuro4ever960]

Best intro song ever

[@BlindmanVlad]

I just started playing and not even going to lie, I play the expeditions more than my primary save. I find that having objectives that gives good rewards is actually pretty fun. Also trying to get that cool ship at the end is worth it.

[@wills2652]

This game is amazing!! I just started playing it’s amazing. Happy I started playing it now after they ironed out all the kinks.

[@DjBobe89]

I've been loving NMS since The Next patch came out. I think nms has been what we wanted since then. Now it's just perfection.

[@kevinMaquino]

I just started playing particularly on the PSVR2 - its incredible, really loving it so far!

[@seanwelch71]

My son and I are making a way through a relaxed game, but its still challenging.

[@philbrown8181]

It's way more than was promised!!!

[@NutsorSomethingBerserk]

It’s been more than what they promised for years now. This game’s transformation has been nothing short of beautiful and amazing to experience first hand. It’s rare to be rewarded like this for sticking with a game that had a poor launch. Especially one that doesn’t have any microtransactions or monetization/Paid DLC of any kind. And the game is still growing. Hello Games deserves the gaming community’s attention and respect for not only delivering what they had promised but still to this day surpassing the original sales pitches and ads. While there is still issues and things that can be improved upon in the game, mainly it’s lack of depth in a lot of it’s core systems and mechanics, the game ultimately is such a joy to play. Very relaxing, fun space exploration with a good storyline and really cool building mechanics. So much to earn and unlock in the game and discover. Out of the pure space exploration games I’ve played, this is hands down my favorite. I love this game.

Finally downloaded it from xbox few days ago. First time ever playing it, definitely unique little game. Seems smooth enough especially for Xbox one

[@rickypaynetube]

I have put 200 hours into this game, which while small-fry to some, for me that is a hell of a lot. I picked it up recently just because I noticed the cover art had changed and I was blown away by how much more polished it is. I know there is a lot more gameplay & things to do but its was the performance & the beauty of the menu screens that caught my eye. I like that I can look at all my discoveries and find planets that I have discovered ranked by deepest ocean, most beautiful etc. I noticed a breeding system for pets, new cosmetics and an absolute shit ton of stuff. I never liked how NPCs looked in this game. I still don't but maybe that is because of my bias towards a certain style of space game, but No Man's sky is certainly unique and has a unique charm and as ugly as the NPC and races are, they certainly have lore and everything which makes them interesting.

[@2yoyoyo1Unplugged]

it was what they promised like 4 years ago. It's far FAR beyond that now

[@dsrleader1563]

Definitely buying this game

[@viktorkm]

Would be cool if they released a patch where you can have a mech arena combat, pilot a mech on 2 legs in a Arena labyrinth and blast eachother.

[@DarthMohammedRules]

I mean, you could *build* an arena, turn on PvP, and do that, assuming the players/participants had the mechs to use.

[@itzfrosted5199]

Just started playing it. I was loving it until i hear the backstory of the devs and the game. Now, i love it even more

[@guyunderatree8193]

Anyone else notice that the number of planets is equal to 1 doubled 64 times plus 1. The plus one makes it to where the last two digits are 1 and 6. It's the rice on a chessboard, people. I think it's Sean's cheeky little way of saying you'll never discover them all, but you can try.

[@AgusSkywalker]

There is a simpler reason, it's the max 64 bit number. It's also 16^16, which is a significant number for the game.

[@kreepyguy8489]

Sounds like this a Gigantic learning curve.

[@matt-b1337]

Started the game two months ago and I love it,

[@KamleshMallick]

How has your experience been? It’s been a month? Are you enjoying visiting planets? Do you have an incentive to explore?

[@unironicallydel7527]

NMs also has a weird, and somewhat innovative feature. Technically, its always online. However unless you're with someone or in the Space Anomoly, it is toggled off by the game itself. Then you can almost seamlessly transition from offline to on simply by entering the Anomaly, or finding others (which you're probably not gunna do unless you're in an expedition)

[@Retro_Gamer_Since_The_90s]

I picked this up new for PS5 for $20 on Amazon worth every penny!

Such a good game. I'm glad I got into it after the major updates.

[@tjp1451]

Been playing and loving this game since launch but I kind of wish I was a new player so I could experience the whole thing for the first time in its current state. Still love playing it though, VR is amazing.

[@xidzenturres]

Im playing on Switch and PS4 and even Switch is lacking multiplayer database are updating. I can visit my bases form Switch on PS4 -thats amazing! Also the newest patch on Switch makes game looks even better (no idea how Hello Games manage to do that!).

[@balorclub5734]

Im amazed on how they were able to develop this game of this scale in just under 15 GB

[@fizola88]

You know whats sad... I am now installing NMS after few hours in Starfield lead to uninstall... good that both are on Gamepass :D

[@christopherellsworth3509]

Started the game on permadeath, that is a hard learning curve.

[@eej1.07]

What's your ronin looking cosmetic at the intro? Been playing for 20 hours and loving it!

[@AverageGameReviews]

I have a feeling the clip you are talking about is one from the update trailer...so I couldn't tell you, sorry!

[@ShadowCrashed81]

It actually pulls at my heart strings. Especially after watching that Internet Historian engoodening video. I want everything for this game because the developers deserve it.

[@Der_Gewagte]

im still stuck in the survival mode i cant get out of the solar system

[@bio80]

Ill come back to the game when they give the vr aspect some much needed attention

[@PandasticVoyage]

The game has been what they promised for a few years now actually -- everything since the Next update has just been extra frosting on the cake lol. Can't wait to see what they do with Light No Fire now that they've learned many lessons and proven they can match their ambition with execution.

[@stevelong8135]

I got it today and it's very hard I switched over to creative mode and managed to fly the ship. VR is really good.

[@masterroasti5588]

Yeah over the years it’s been one of hell of a ride and they’ve done so much to build their universe up around us (for free which is mind blowing) but I do have one slight issue 8 years in the making…why can I still not paint my starship?????

This is a very good point...surely we will get a feature for this soon

Now you can! 😃

Thanks NMS for that great Game and Support! I know 4 100% your next game will also be 4 VR and will be a Day one pick!

When is the next steam discount? Planning to get this for my new steamdeck oled

Deleted both of my 500+ hour save files after I got bored a few years ago. I want to jump back in but starting again from scratch is gonna be painful.
