No Man's Sky

...

To boldly go where no man has gone before!
9 August 2016


































Inspired by the adventure and imagination that we love from classic science-fiction, No Man’s Sky presents you with a galaxy to explore, filled with unique planets and lifeforms, and constant danger and action.

In No Man’s Sky, every star is the light of a distant sun, each orbited by planets filled with life, and you can go to any of them you choose. Fly smoothly from deep space to planetary surfaces, with no loading screens, and no limits. In this infinite procedurally generated universe, you’ll discover places and creatures that no other players have seen before – and perhaps never will again.

Now including...

Play with all major updates since launch: Foundation, Pathfinder, Atlas Rises, NEXT, The Abyss, Visions, the 2.0 BEYOND update, Synthesis, Living Ship, Exo Mech, Desolation and the 3.0 update, ORIGINS, Next Generation, Companions, Expeditions, Prisms, Frontiers, Sentinel, Outlaws, Endurance and Waypoint (4.0).

An epic voyage to the centre of a shared universe awaits, allowing you to explore, trade, fight and survive alone or with friends.

Embark on an epic voyage

At the centre of the galaxy lies a irresistible pulse which draws you on a journey towards it to learn the true nature of the cosmos. But, facing hostile creatures and fierce pirates, you’ll know that death comes at a cost, and survival will be down to the choices you make over how you upgrade your ship, your weapon and suit.

Share your journey

The galaxy is a living, breathing place. Trade convoys travel between stars, factions vie for territory, pirates hunt the unwary, and the police are ever watching. Every other player lives in the same galaxy, and you can choose to share your discoveries with them on a map that spans known space. Perhaps you will see the results of their actions as well as your own…

My Opinion

...

My 219th Platinum, No Man’s Sky (took roughly 200h).

I held off on No Man’s Sky cause it just wasn’t up there on my priority list (multiplayer games that I could play with friends or story driven games). Turns out that I was lucky that I did, as the game fell short of expectations. Although I won’t dwell on that too much as the game has been overhauled and shown a lot of love from the developers with updates and fixes to take the game even further than the original expectations.

I loved exploring the many planets with a surprise on each, be it fauna, flora, weather systems, treasures and minerals. I enjoyed finding random ships that I could claim and fix up, aliens that I could barter with or learn their language.

I loved that you could build an extensive farm on each planet with different resources to either sell or use to manufacture fuel and the likes to further your reach into the stars.

I spent many hours just building bases 😀

With all of that said I still had had a few issues with crashes, sever lag and reloading the game to find I was missing chunks of my bases. Which meant I had to be careful with my saves.

Difficulty rating,  a 2/10, the game wasn’t hard once you had an understanding of the mechanics and learnt which resources to keep on hand

Fun rating, a 7/10. I enjoyed the space exploration and just how chilled the game is overall. I also enjoyed checking out other peoples bases while showing my own off. Also nothing like coming across somebody’s base and cleaning it for the next time they come on hahahah

Memories

...

Here are some of my favourite screenshots and moments from the game.

Stunning views with beautiful music.

Couldn’t help myself with this one. Lou face = PRICELESS

Sam looks like a love sick puppy and goofy with that smile hahaha

The moment I realised all is not as it seems with our buddy Clifford.

Goodbye Amelie 🙁

Lou’s first day out. What a moment!

Can’t Believe this bastard made me deliver so many pizzas

I loved interacting with Lou at safehouses.

Gotta get those S ranks baby.

 

This pic has a special place in my heart 🙂 
Having a really serious convo with Hardman and Lou says fuck u!!!
