It’s like Minecraft in space. It’s cool. I do understand the many criticisms of the game, and that’s why I didn’t pay full price. It’s pretty neat for what I paid. I enjoy exploring and flying to other places. It’s not a perfect game, but the hate it has received isn’t entirely fair.

No Man's Sky is a beautiful looking game. The worlds, creatures, plants, etc. are well designed and interesting to look at. I also enjoy flying around on planets and between stars. What I dislike about the game is how frustrating it can be to properly maintain your inventory and building the things you need to be able to fly your ship and go to warp. Also, I made the mistake of attacking a larger ship in orbit over a world and now when I leave a world I am instantly attacked and blown up as I don't have a good grasp of fighting in space. It is rather frustrating to be trapped on one world and it can get a little dull during longer game play. If you love keeping track of the metals and minerals you have in inventory then No Man's Sky is for you. Otherwise, you might want to skip it.

I read all of the negative reviews on this game but still wanted to give my own opinion on it. So I went ahead and got it, and I am very impressed with what the devs were capable of doing with the random algorithm of planets created. There is a strong vibe of Metroid and Minecraft used as the game literally throws you crashed down on your first planet with no instructions. Mining plays a big part of the game and it's how you get the resources to keep yourself alive and finally off the planet. There is a bit of repetition but that can be easily fixed with a simple update which I'm pretty sure we will get later down the road.

There doesn't seem to be any overarching goal in this game. Maybe I just haven't found the main objective yet. So far, I've been just going from planet to planet exploring. Graphics are sort of simple and lacking in detail. The animals, plants and land features are not very realistic looking and in many cases childish looking. Shouldn't the animals on cold planets have thick fur? Many planets light years apart have very similar plants and features. And so far they all seem to have the same flying scanning drones and "alien made" modules, pods and mini factories. So I guess we are to believe the same aliens have colonized all these planets? The jet pack is fun when exploring on foot, but why is the gravity exactly the same on a small moon as it is on a large planet? Hmmm... The concept of this game is great, but it's too bad it wasn't developed by a bigger company with more creative horsepower and experience with open-environment games like Bethesda Studios. Then it could have been fantastic.Read full review

The game is an interesting experience but sadly the experience doesn't last long as the game itself is a long grind of the same tasks over and over again. Great looking colors and some occasions of interest, however the moments are very spread out. If interested keep an eye out for future updates because the developers have said they will continue to improve upon the game.
