I got this game recently for sheer curiosity after the hate-storm died down. I'm a big sandbox game player, so I was curious to how the game would play out. I can see where the overhype would kill it. The game is not amazing, but I'm enjoying it.

This game is to start off, not a horrible game. If this game seems as if it appeals to you, then it probably does; but it's gameplay is incredibly repetitive, and gets dull quickly. It's gameplay obviously can't be understood by two year olds, but is appropriate for all ages.

This game is absolutely massive, and has a decent idea, unfortunately that's all that it has going for it. This game has quintillion planets randomly generated in the vastness of space.

And that's what we're kind of left with. An explanation that fits the product released. No Man's Sky is a missed opportunity to do something truly epic, and while the final game, when measured moment by moment, showed glimpses of something more than merely ordinary, the final result, was far less...

If you are into high graphic games like NFS, Battlefield, or FIFA. i would advice you to rethink before buying this game for PS4 unless you want to prank your friend on his birthday and piss him off everytime he opens this game on his console.

Vast sandbox to explore

Lacks captivating gameplay

The game is simple enough. You scour around planets, non of which are non-hostile environments, gathering resources to upgrade your suit, ship, and weapon/mining tool on your way to the center of the universe. The grind is what I expected and the gameplay is more or less what I expected.

Nice and relaxing, but needs more content. Maybe in the future this could be a great game.

In short bursts, 'No Man's Sky' is amazing, but going deeper, I found only a void. There's a great framework, and an arresting visual style to go with an ease of mobility, but in a short amount of time, I despaired of finding any more interactivity or progression in the all-too-similar horizons and...

One of the most anticipated games of the year, No Man's Sky is somewhat of a letdown. While it certainly puts its best foot forward with a beautiful audio and visual presentation, to put it bluntly, it's boring.

A stunning technical achievement and a mesmerisingly addictive one, even after you realise how simplistic and repetitive it really is.

Enormous game world is a pleasure to explore even when you know all its tricks; Competent space and land combat; Excellent art design and soundtrack

Highly repetitive main gameplay loop, that requires little skill and offers little danger; Poor use of intelligent aliens; Flawed visuals when on a planet; Infuriating inventory and lots of minor bugs
