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.
65DAYSOFSTATIC SOUNDTRACK Our favourite band, 65daysofstatic, is producing a soundtrack album especially for No Man's Sky, which will be featured in the game as a procedurally generated soundscape.

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.

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.

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.

Since the Foundation update this is hugely improved and easily one of these most serene exploration and material farming games out there. If you like high octane shooting action, avoid it. Want to chill out an enjoy the vistas? Buy it.

Always been tempted by this game. Think the concept of first person getting into a space ship, hitting the atmosphere and put into space, only to land on another planet is a game of dreams. Imagine a online battlefront with this concept (say 1 world and a battle station) with 100 players in one match. This is where gaming needs to be, not this silly upscaled 4K or on the horizon joke of 8k.

I have similar feelings and also played it quite a lot when I got it.
I also had a similar idea of going off for a walk on foot and I ended up 45 minutes away from my ship with a toxic storm starting - I had to keep hiding in caves etc until the storms had passed. My idea was to find one of those portals that returns your ship to you but after walking for ages I could't find one and just had to keep going. I then got attacked by some mental bear type thing and for a while NMS felt really good.
I haven't given up on it yet, I will return soon and try the new base building bits etc.

started it twice & both times the planets had already been discovered. Really spoiled the game for me especially as no matter which new system i travelled to the same player had already been there discovering everything.
It took me 17 planets before i could Discover one for myself.. it was a High Risk High Radiation planet. I died lots looking for one of the 3 fauna that existed there :neutral_face:

Tbh I was one of the stupid people who preordered it. The game is worth no more than. £12.99. And because sean went silent on social media and refused to answer questions about the game I still wouldn't buy it.
xenophon
4 Jan 17#33
The 'hate' probably comes from the fact it looks really fun but from most views I've seen the reality doesn't match. Buy it if you think it looks a really good game but don't imply people are haters until you've at least played it yourself.

Bought for my son for Christmas at £15 used. Both of us are hooked. Obviously we now have the benefit of the big patch that has addressed some issues with the game. Playing on normal and it's just really chill. I wouldn't normally get into a game like this, but it's properly drawn us both in for reasons we can't really explain. We've sunk hours in and haven't even left our home planets yet.

I like to feel like I am accomplishing something when I play games. I want to do something and then know it has been done and dusted. With randomly generated world's I would never get that satisfaction. It's one of the main reasons I play games. I won't get that from this, that's why it never interested me. Heat added.

At this price with the patch it's not bad. However, it still isn't close to the expected product the developer promised.

This is actually quite expensive for No Man's Sky. It has been cheaper before and Personally, I don't think it's worth anymore than a tenner. The game is okay at best.

Think about it in terms of cost / reward. A trip to the cinema is about £10 these days for about 2 hours of enjoyment. You're likely to get a lot more out of this game... if you enjoy it.

This game is definitely in the top 10 WORST games of 2016, do not give your hard earned money to these troll developers
I don't get the "hey it's not that bad now that the price dropped!!!" comments, pretty much all the games have price drops nowadays, get pretty much every other game out there and you'll be getting a lot more value for your money

The Last Guardian is a very unique game. Even people who don't like it have some praise for it. If you're looking to shoot stuff then this is not the game for you
If you do want to shoot stuff, have £17 and if you like scifi then screw this garbage and get freakin DOOM instead which is by many considered one of the top games of 2016, and it's on the front page of this site costing only £14!!! Best PS4 game bargain by far

Deal has expired - it's now £26.95.
But no great loss, I'm still waiting for it to reach a tenner like the others.

I am currently playing it. Not sure ho long it will last - been going for a few weeks. I really like it & I think it will probably get better if they do release more upgrades.
I missed out on the original uproar about how crap it was, but I did read back on forums about the outrage. I liked Elite on the BBC back in the day, & i guess it takes me back to that, in a way. Prefer it to Elite:dangerous.
You'll have a more enjoyable experience if you bought the cinema tickets, rather than No Man's Sky.

It is hard to believe, but about 80% of what Sean Murray said was in the game. Wasn't. just watch any interview with Sean Murray, when the interviewer asks a question regarding content, Sean replies "yes, that's in the game". He has even had death threats! :confused:
I also read some statistics, regarding the player base. 1 month after the game came out 90% of people who were logged playing the game. stopped playing it. This one is definitely going to be in the history books.
