One of the most ambitious and perhaps highly controversial games of 2016 on the PlayStation 4 has arrived on the XBox One with Hello Games No Man's Sky (Next) . The "next" basically is the latest update and all the previous improvements on this console in one very neat package, even though a new...

After reading many reviews on this game, I was pleasantly surprised at how large and immersive this game is. Playing as a single player is extremely fun however it also works well when playing in a group. Well worth a buy.

If, at first, you don't succeed. Try, try again. That seems to be the motto Sean Murray of Hello Games must live by. When he first appeared on the gaming scene with a demo for No Man's Sky (NMS) back in 2016, he figuratively offered the universe.

A beautiful vibrant universe; Great sense of exploration and awe; More ways to play the game than ever

Inventory interface is clunky; Graphical glitches still occur; Switching from 1st to 3rd person troublesome

Redemption....received Multiplayer is something that has been on many people's wishlists since release. There was a stopgap implemented during one of the updates, showing other players as floating orbs, but it fell far from being "multiplayer.

Hello Games' impossibly ambitious space exploration game reaches its biggest milestone yet, and appears on Xbox One for the first time.

Enormous game world is a pleasure to explore even when you know all its tricks; Competent space combat; Multiplayer, freighters, and third person view are all welcome; Excellent art design

Highly repetitive main gameplay loop, that requires little skill and offers too little excitement; Flawed implementation of aliens, both intelligent and otherwise; Lots of minor bugs and performance issues

No Man's Sky: NEXT is worth getting if you're a new fan, or an easily pleased fan of the game from way back. If you're old school, old guard NMS fans, the game might not be the game you wanted it to be even after NEXT.

The game is fun to play. Just wished it came with the pre order dlc.

I'm a very casual gamer; but after dying fairly quickly into the game because of environmental reasons, I figured out that I needed to gather elements, assemble stuff, and fix other stuff. It's a slow game, but I'm enjoying the exploration and trying to interact with the critters I stumble upon.

This is exactly the kind of variety I think will get gamers coming back to No Man’s Sky again and again. There’s no one set way to play, and while everyone has the same overall goal - to get to the centre of the galaxy - how to do that is really up to you. Other space games have trodden a similar path, but the algorithmically-generated planets you can explore every inch of are something completely unique. I was worried that it wouldn't be able to keep delivering with every new world I travelled to, but it's not long before you have to start hiding from more dangerous wildlife, top up your environment suit as toxic weather fronts and radioactive stormclouds roll over the planets you're exploring, and flee from some pretty epic space battles you really shouldn't have wandered into in the first place. The lack of structure won’t appeal to everyone, though. You’re getting an entire universe to play in, but you’ve got to find your own fun within it and create your own goals. Sure, you can aim for the middle, but it’s going to take a long time to get there. The mine, fly, trade, repeat formula might get boring after a few weeks of solid play, but the pacing and limitless exploration make it the perfect way to wind down. Fed up of 13-year-olds thrashing you in Call of Duty? Stick this on and chill out - those indigenous aliens aren't going to teabag your corpse any time soon. Oh, and you’d better believe I’m going to claim any planets you don't explore in the name of Stuff. Buy No Man's Sky here from Amazon

Incredible scope and size - you’ll never see it all; Gorgeous graphics bring the galaxy to life; Who new space exploration could be so relaxing;

There’s life, Jim - just not a lot of it; Already looking for a bit more gameplay variety;
