Overview

No Man's Sky is a game about exploration and survival in an infinite procedurally generated universe.

Inspired by the adventure and imagination that we love from classic science-fiction, No Man's Sky presents you with a galaxy to explore, filled with unique planets and lifeforms, and constant danger and action. In No Man's Sky, every star is the light of a distant sun, each orbited by planets filled with life, and you can go to any of them you choose. Fly smoothly from deep space to planetary surfaces, with no loading screens, and no limits. In this infinite procedurally generated universe, you'll discover places and creatures that no other players have seen before - and perhaps never will again. Now including...

    My favorite game, BUT in 10 years, there's a lot of junk. I dream of an update that will clean things up, put everything in its place, and remove items from old quests that are unclear where and why they'll be needed in the future. Basically, I'm waiting for the 'Cleanliness and Order' update =)

    No Man's Sky had the best comeback story in gaming history. They could have been like other devs and abandoned the game but they decided to improve on it since launch. Take notes, Star Citizen & Starfield, this is how it's done. There's no microtransactions and the updates have been free for the past 10 years. I wish more game devs were like Hello Games.

    I installed No Man’s Sky and I’m having Fun. Building, exploring, discovering stuff... I recommend it to ppl, who has Friends to play with, Because its Big World and Exploring it alone makes you feel boring :(................................Enjoiy

    This game is "you can do anything" but "there's no reason to." There isn't, really. Farming, crafting, upgrading, exocrafts, none of that matters at all. Can you do it? Sure. Is it cool that you can do it? Sure. Is there a reason to? No. And that's the issue. In Valheim, you HAVE to cook. It's a MUST. If you don't cook, your health and stamina will never be enough. That's a system integrated into the whole structure of the game. No Man's Sky? No system is integrated whatsoever. Can you have a lil company of fighters? Yes. Does it do anything? No. Not really. You don't need to do anything. There is no reason, no purpose. Even Minecraft has a reason and purpose, because enemies do more damage in certain places. Here? What enemies? The same ones you have seen before across the entire game. There is no danger, there is no urgency, there is no engagement aside from "you can do it, so it's cool." And I think that's the saddest thing about this game. It does a lot, and the development history is one for the books. However... deep inside it's still the same as it always has been. If you visit ten galaxies, you've seen 90% of what the game has to offer. If you've engaged with 20 hours

    I’m so glad I finally woke this game up. I bought it a while ago, played a tiny bit, and honestly let it sleep in my library because the initial grind felt kinda boring. But after finally pushing past that slow start, I’ve put 50 hours into it, and I’m completely hooked. Once you get your starter ship off that first planet, the universe completely changes. Nothing beats the feeling of finally owning your first Corvette-class capital ship. Going from a tiny cockpit to commanding a massive mobile base that you can actually walk around in and warp through the stars makes all that early grinding entirely worth it. If you have this sitting in your backlog and it didn't click at first, give it another chance.

    And now get over here and sing with me this own version of a remix of a song you may or may not know. Alright, and one, and two, and one, two, three, four: "I'm gonna send me to outta space, to grind another base I'm gonna send me to outta space, to mine another place ... It’s a game from another dimension It’s a game from another dimension It’s a game from another dimension Play those extensions" Sorry, couldn’t resist. Okay but seriously now, let’s start with a few questions. Is it maybe a little too early to post a review of NMS after around 30 hours of playtime? Or maybe it’s already a little late in a way, considering it took me another ten years to finally get around to a game I’ve been following since release? And with countless reviews already out there, there’s another question hanging in the air: who am I actually supposed to convince at this point? Well, late to the party or not, landing sequence has already been initiated. Congratulations, you’ve already discovered a new planet. I gotta say games like this always give me a pretty rough time at first. I’ve just got too much going on and I’m constantly trying to keep up with too many projects, while working way too m

    Only complaint is being able to pick galaxy at start. Otherwise just a great game!

    As a gamer this Game has not follow the trend of making you Pay for DLC which is huge I would buy merch from this company and more. They have treated the Fan base to the extreme with all these updates requiring Zero PAYMENT. While the launch of the game is Messy I love Hello Game You have cooked for so long to fix the game I cannot recommend enough with the new update. God this game is so fun Please hello games Keep COOKING. I forgot to add but its has been TEN years of free DLC.
