No Man's Sky

Some people may not want to forget the past of No Man's Sky and its rough launch, but I think that they should. Three years later after release, a ton of updates have come out, improving and adding new features. For example, the recent beyond update adds increased multiplayer lobbies, Virtual Reality Support, ridable and farmable creatures, a new base power system, cooking and a whole new NPC system. I think that you. reading this right now should go and buy this wonderful game!

Imagine yourself that you are in middle of ocean, but the ocean is 3cm deep only. everywhere you look around is water and water only, and there is nothing to do but just walk or jump, you can't even swim. You occasionally notice there is something new in the water, a different type of shade of ocean bottom maybe, maybe a bit different type of seaweed every 1-2km of walk. At first you might think that there might be something different out there, and its just the spot you were deployed is boring. Maybe there is a deep water with fish, sharks, treasures and submarines ahead.

But as long as you walk you discover that its the same everywhere, same 3cm shallow water, crashing loneliness, boredom and nothing more.

Thats how No Man's Sky feels.

I never played this game at launch. I recently got into this game and I am really enjoying it. The exploration elements work really well with the story and there is a real sense of progress as I continue to play. As you unlock new technologies within the game, you gain access to further exploration and mysteries that planets have to hide. The only downside Is that each planet seems to be all one biome.

Watch the Internet Historian's video on YouTube and then decide if this is a game you'd like to invest your time in. I played the game for the first time in 2020 after all the updates and I really don't have much to complain about. It's more like the game Gallo Games promised, not everything they promised of course but still allot.

So after years and years of updates and tweaks, the devs at Hello Games still have yet to produce a stable product. Quite simply, this game is too much for anything but the most robust pc systems and possibly the new gen consoles. 100% guaranteed to freeze and crash if you play for longer than an hour. It does not auto save except in certain instances, so if you have not been entering and existing your space craft, or carrying a portable save point with you and using it every ten minutes, you will get screwed out of your hard work every time. You have been warned.
