was overhyped hot garbage when it 1st came out, NOW is one the best space/exploration games out there. the continuous improvement to the game and no pay walls is astounding. they have really made up for their mistakes and come along way. I wish more game companies learned from their mistakes like hello games did and does. Good Job Devs.
Best dev team ever. They listened, they learned and since launch they delivered and now, 10 years later, they keep delivering awesome fixes and content updates ! Love you, really <3
One of, if not THE greatest, come-back stories in all gaming / game development
This game and Cyberpunk have to be two of the biggest comebacks in gaming history. I like many things about this game; it's so fun, but sadly one of the updates ruined my save, and I find the intro, where you have to repair your spaceship to actually be able to travel between solar systems, boring, so I'll probably not play it for a while. Still recommend it tho.
I started playing this game on switch at around 2018. I have recently switched to Laptop due to performance issues. However that is not the point. No Mans Sky consistently gives free updates that could easily become DLC's. What i want to say is that they spoil their players and make this game the best 25 pounds of my life(i got it on a sale). Wow i sound like i am 40. Would alwayes recommend
i love this game to death, but the vr mode got completely ♥♥♥♥♥♥ over, it just, crashes, every single time, no matter what, please fix it
