No Man’s Sky is a game about exploration and survival in an infinite procedurally generated galaxy.
Inspired by classic science-fiction and its overwhelming sense of adventure and imagination, Hello Games presents a game of unprecedented scale and ambition. In No Man’s Sky you explore an infinite universe where you will discover unique never-before-seen planets and lifeforms. A mystery lies at the centre of the galaxy, an irresistible pulse that draws you on an epic voyage to discover the true nature of the cosmos. Your journey will be charged with danger, encountering hostile creatures and fierce pirates; in order to survive, you will need to prepare, upgrading your ship, suit and weapons. Whether you choose to fight, trade or explore, every decision you make has consequences, shaping your journey as you travel ever deeper into No Man's Sky.
GAME FEATURES
A TRULY OPEN UNIVERSE If you can see it, you can go there. You can fly seamlessly from the surface of a planet to another, and every star in the sky is a sun that you can visit.
EXPLORATION IS SEEING THINGS THAT NO-ONE ELSE HAS EVER SEEN BEFORE Every creature, geological formation, plant and spaceship is unique.
SURVIVE ON A DANGEROUS FRONTIER You are alone and vulnerable, and will face threat everywhere, from deep space to thick forests, barren deserts to dark oceans.
BUILD FOR AN EPIC JOURNEY Collect precious materials and trade them for better spacecraft and upgrades for your suit and equipment and prepare for your journey to the centre of the galaxy.
A SHARED UNIVERSE Choose to share with other players your discoveries on a map of the galaxy. Strike out for unexplored frontiers or build your strengths in known space.

I got it a while ago and while I haven't played it that much, every time I do play it I end up getting lost in it for a few hours without realising where the time has gone. It can be quite repetitive and there's not much in the way of actual gameplay but despite that it's provided some of my favourite organic gaming moments ever.
I once ventured into one of the expansive cave systems greedily mining gold (which I foolishly thought would be valuable). As I ventured deeper and deeper into the cave a niggling feeling told me I should probably turn back, but every time I scanned the terrain I would see another bunch of gold in the distance. Eventually, after about half an hour of this I decided enough was enough and I tried to find my way back to my ship. I followed the waypoint but every time I got near I could see the waypoint above me about 10 metres away but couldn't find a way out of the caves.
I was probably running around for at least 15 minutes trying to find a way out with no luck. I really didn't know what to do. I couldn't remember if you switched the game off and came back to it if you spawned in the same place or not. I thought I'd ruined my playthrough and would have to start over completely. But then I suddenly had a vague recollection of a mining tool upgrade I'd unlocked a while ago that said something about destroying terrain. I checked my upgrade options and luckily I had enough of the correct resources on my ship (that I could access through the cave wall) to build the plasma grenade upgrade. I then blasted my way to freedom and to be honest although it probably sounds a bit rubbish, that was a great gaming experience and there aren't many other games that could create that sort of organic gaming experience.
For those that are on the fence about this game, give it a go. You might just like it.

Gradually coming down. Prepare for the worst though, NMS deals never do well on here :wink:

True. Think this is the lowest I've seen it though.

Agreed, not knocking the price. I'm sure it's the lowest for a new copy so far.
Just expect, "I wouldn't buy this even if it was 1p" type comments :smiley:

tempted but what I have read I'm still hoping it comes around the £10 mark.

Reading that I thought I was trapped in a cave trying to get out.
I was on the fence but not now. :stuck_out_tongue:

It does seem very strange that the PC version isn't reducing by much. Although Steam had it on offer, the price was still way above the £20 mark.

I bought it on release, played it and enjoyed it solidly for a week and then sold it for slightly more than I bought it for. Will be tempted to get back into it at some point, but not sure this is that point. Good deal but I'll hold off until it's around £15 for a digital copy.
