I don't know what I'm doing. I'm on a planet with a crashed ship, a cryptic message about following some kind of path, some weird rocks and a bunch of animals. I need to try and find some fuel and other things to patch up my ship to get the heck off this world.

Very relaxing; Beautiful at times; Lots to do; Inventing names for things is fun; The lore can be intriguing; Procedural generation creates some great things

Starship dogfights aren't great; Definitely not for everyone; Not much in the way of traditional story telling; Not all planets are interesting; Procedural generation brings up a lot of similar things; Star map is clunky to navigate back to places you've been

Where do you start when you feel like you're a drop in the ocean? That's how I initially felt when I commenced playing the highly anticipated No Man's Sky . The game is massive and I mean massive.

Despite the randomization of planets and animal life, every No Man's Sky playthrough begins the same: You wake up on a planet wholly unlike Earth, with a spaceship that won't fly, inside a suit that only barely keeps you alive.

We've spent the last week or so working towards this review, and as such it's an updated version of the Review Impressions article you may have already read if you're a frequent visitor to the site.

The word hype is thrown around a lot these days when talking about video games. But few games have reached the heights of hype that No Man's Sky , especially considering the small size of the team at Hello Games.

A truly endless galaxy to explore; Several separate pillars of experience; Exactly as Hello Games described..

...which may not be what you expect; Texture pop-in can be obvious; Turning in discoveries can be a little tedious

I was excited for this. It was promising. I knew the hype was through the roof and that pretty much no game like this (unless Star Citizen was thrown at us from a secret development room with every promise they've made) could ever break that, but I did hope for a little more than what No Man's Sky...

It will take you 5 years to finish this game, 5 years of the same boring repetition. If you remember Elite for the Commodore 64/128, then you will be disapointed.

I heard this game had so much content and potential but as I first entered the disk into my ps4 I've had nothing but disappointment as the contents over the top repetitive as well the combats really boring as there's nothing to fight/enemies the time it takes to move around planets and systems is...

Just bought this. Disappointed that the HDMi Lead broken, so had to go and purchase another one before we could use it.

This game allows you to visit an infinite number of galaxies with planets & moons to discover resoucres to power your space craft. There is also a mission for Atlas, which i started but never completed as I found the planets too similar, same animals, plants on each.
