Addicted from first play
I have been playing non stop5hours a day since recieving the game and let me tell you it pulls you in. The worlds are beautiful and immersive a d varied enough to keep the game fresh. When you get the controls down itslikesecond nature as you mine and build your empire I definitely would recommend this game as its joined fallout for me amongst greatest modern games
Gameplay loop is repititive (2 more)
Progression doesn't actually pay off
Basically no story
Boring Gameplay Loop
I really wanted to like No Man's Sky. I bought it on launch and was disappointed, but I didn't return it because I had hopes of future patches. A year later, the game is just as disappointing.
On Reddit, you will see a lot of people who say the game is completely different than when it launched, and that is true. But the core gameplay loop hasn't changed: spend a bunch of time trying to find better ships or guns, rinse and repeat. Finding these upgrades can take a long time, and do not really pay off. If you boil it down, the 30-60 minutes you just spent looking result in only 1 additional item slot.

On first play No Mans Sky was terrifying and there was a distinct lack of an intro to the controls which for this game is definitely needed. Upon landing on an acrid desert planet (assuming very likely to be a common first style of planet for most players) you have to harvest resources to fix your ship and get the hell outta there.
Been playing it a few months now and more comfortable, you can either explore the galaxy on your own time after completing some home story missions, or follow the main storyline if you feel you need more to do. You can trade at space stations, buy a new space ship, talk to the local aliens etc. Upon entering one galaxy you get the chance to win a freighter. Both my husband and I play No Mans Sky and our game play couldn't be more different so we have both seen various aspects of the game.
