   First off, I want to state that I am not having any of the problems that were reported minutes after the games release yesterday (8/12/2016).First off, I want to state that I am not having any of the problems that were reported minutes after the games release yesterday (8/12/2016). I am seeing a few stutters in the frame rate, but that's really about it.
   
   I love exploration games. Flight Simulator, Train Simulator, Minecraft, Creativerse, 7 Days to Die, Fallout 4 the GTA franchise even Starbound. I can spend hours just wandering around looking at what the game or developer generated for me to explore.
   
   No Man's Sky is pretty much the ultimate version of that type of game. With 18 Quintillion world in just one (of possibly many) galaxies, there is just no limit to my exploration bug.
   
   World generation is crazy, making Minecraft look tame, The creatures and plants that live on these worlds are straight out of 1960's SciFi book covers and comic books.
   
   There is even an underlying story to the four major races in the game (if there are four, I have only found one so far).
   
   If I had any complaints, it would be inventory management or the early lack of inventory space is a pain. However I could say the same for pretty much every game I mentioned above. You can fairly quickly start increasing those spaces by finding objects on the planets that will increase your suits inventory.
   
   A nit pick would be that planets usually don't bunch up together like they have here. There should be planets all around their star. I should have to fly past the star to get to planets that might be on the other side. Not the case here. They are all pretty much bunched up together. Physics wouldn't allow this, but hey. It's a game not a true simulator.
   
   That's really it. The fact that there is probably one one "hand drawn" object in the game, the main alien races mentioned earlier. Everything else is put together by the game, Ships, Multi-tool guns, plants, animals, planets, everything. So far, they all look fantastic.
   
   If you are into Minecraft, Creativerse, 7 Days to Die, you will be dropping those games in favor of No Man's Sky for quite some time. I absolutely recommend this one!… Expand

   I really enjoy this game. 80 hours in and still having a blast.

   A relaxed blast that it. This is not a hardcore survival or CoD in space. This is an exploration game that gives you a universe to explore. It is frikkin HUGE.
   
   There is a neat story that needs to be pieced together. It takes time. I honestly feel that those who don't take the time to learn about the languages and try to piece together the history of the 3 races are missing a big part of the game.
   
   There are still parts of the game (portals) that the community has not figured out yet. It is pretty cool and a new take on how to play an exploration game for me.

   Do not buy without trying it before. GOG demo version is out there. The game freezes for seconds while playing but that s going to be fixedDo not buy without trying it before. GOG demo version is out there. The game freezes for seconds while playing but that s going to be fixed eventually. It's entertaining to name planets and animals up to a certain point. I think Solus project does a better job at space survival game . NMS is an interesting game and entertaining for some time . Nothing special but it has the initial catch of most survival games at the start. The score will end between 5 and 7. Lot of disappointment from the one expecting an ED or X type of space game. One detail that shows a lot, when you mine a mountain of minerals and you start from the bottom, the top stays magically floating in the air !!!… Expand

   Its a very bad game, even with the base building update. The base game wanted to be a open universe exploration game with some kind of storyIts a very bad game, even with the base building update. The base game wanted to be a open universe exploration game with some kind of story elements, but in the end all the ways never leads to some valuable moments. Its no spoiler the center of the galaxy only restarts the game with your current ship. The other route tells that you created a new star-system, but technically there are only 64bit different planets (9,223,372,036,854,775,807) the random generator will generate a unique planet for each one and you can not add there a planet created by you. Also there is no report of planet-systems named like "created by user" so its a nice story, but nothing more in this "multiplayer/singleplayer-multigame" experience.
   
   The base building, teleportation and renting the ship with the option to build a base in it feels shoehorned into the mechanics of the game. Most ideas are done by other indie developer like starbound and subnautika already. Also this basebuilding breaks with the mechaniks of the core game. It was not developed to be a base building game the core mechanics are not changed.
   
   For pacing the game there are to many grinding moments for just improving the grinding it self. In other games you grind to do some thing different. Example: Starbound. With the multitool you dig to improve the tool to grab liquids from the planets. Then you will grind to place wire and paint the placed blocks. In No Man's Sky you just grind to grind more. There is no target or improvement in your game and without these shift in mechanics there is no fun after 3 to 4 hours.… Expand

   Run away and save your money. The gaming cycle is boring, short and repetitive. Go to planet, find stuff, go to next planet and repeat. HereRun away and save your money.
