No Man's Sky is a game about overcoming expectations – both in terms of its gameplay and its creation. A craft-em-up set in space with a near-infinite number of planets to explore, mine, destroy and document, all in an effort to survive.

No Man's Sky is probably the biggest con to hit the video game industry since Gearbox's Aliens: Colonial Marines . Amidst the controversy, countless reddit threads dissecting lead designer Sean Murray's every published word to produce lists of promised features not included in the final launch...

Let me preface this by saying that I went into this gargantuan title as blind as possible. I refused to watch trailers or read interviews from the developers in order to make my experience as unique, eye-opening and engrossing as the game would provide.

No Man's Sky can easily be identified by its open, vivid landscapes, and generally stunning visuals. It's, undoubtedly, one of the most visually spectacular experiences available on current gen hardware, and it's definitely one of the strongest points in the overall design.
