Discover a social galaxyThe galaxy is a living, breathing place, with trade convoys travelling between stars, pirates, police and military ships ever ready for action, and planets teeming with life. The same galaxy is also shared by every player of No Man's Sky. Perhaps you will see the results of their actions, as well as your own? |

My 13-year-old daughter saved up money and bought a PS4 for herself, but then quickly grew bored with it, so I thought I'd pick out a few games for my husband and me to try playing, just for the heck of it. My husband and I are both into the idea of space and planetary exploration, so I thought No Man's Sky would be a good title to try. I had *no* idea what I was getting into. This game is like my childhood dreams come true. Open ended, literally MILLIONS of individual planets in different solar systems to travel to and explore- each with different landscapes, flora, and fauna.
For someone who is into exploring and just checking stuff out, this game is absolutely addictive. It's basically an endless universe- a map of constellations, and you can travel from planet to planet, system to system, and explore every nook and cranny of each place. There's no real objective- there are a few sort of missions and mini games within the larger system of the game to complete, but in general your focus is just traveling to new places, and finding new stuff.
It's important to note there are four modes of playing. "Regular" mode is mission oriented- you aren't going anywhere until you repair your broken spaceship and doing so isn't easy. Then you have to battle the elements to get off the planet. It's a LOT of work and focus. A lot of walking around landscapes and examining flora and fauna for the right "recipe" of elements and ingredients to make necessary repairs and sustain your life. Plus, there are hostile creatures, plants, environments, and killer drones lurking. There are two higher pressure modes plus an option for limited online gameplay with other players in a team.
Since we don't have hours to devote to playing this game (though I could see why it would be absolutely appealing to spend hours immersed in this game....) we wound up playing on "Creative" mode, which many No Man's Sky players scoff at. But for many of us who play NMS, Creative is perfect. For casual gamers and non-button-mashers, "Creative" mode is pretty much the equivalent of Endless Ocean. You are given the resources you need to repair your ship right from the start, and you can just take off and fly around and explore different planets and star systems. There is still challenge, though- you have to upgrade the technology on your ship (or get a new ship altogether) to get where you want to go, and upgrade your exosuit and hand-held multi tool to really be able to discover what each of the systems have to offer. You have to search out a new ship, and figure out which star system has an environment that will make the possibility of FINDING that ship likely. There's still quite a bit to do in the game in "Creative" mode. There just isn't the pressure of having to work for money or having to outrun a deadly drone.
I really love this game. We play whenever we can, and when we're not playing, I spend way too much time daydreaming about it. After about 50 hours of play, I finally set up an Instagram account for my screenshots of the different landscapes (so nerdy, but the game is *so* beautiful) so I could refer back to some of the interesting environments we've experienced.
There are a few downfalls- the navigation is a little clunky and after a while the planets and environments are very repetitive- the flora and fauna and environmental conditions change on every planet, but the terrain is sort of the same. So are the space stations and interiors or small settlements, etc.
This game has got me really excited to check out other PS4 titles, and I also hope the developer will port No Man's Sky to Mac at some point- I'd love to play it simply to catalogue as many creatures, planets, moons, flora, and fauna as possible, in sort of an OCD way (I'm not going to make my husband sit through me doing that).
I highly recommend this game for so many reasons and I can't wait to see the future updates and versions.
Oh, and this is important- before you play for the first time, be patient and let your game download and update! The update REALLY changes the game a lot from the version on the disc. We skipped the update first time we played and a lot of the things we found frustrating were very different after the update installed and ran- so much so we restarted playing.
Where do I start with this gem? I won't tell you it's perfect, because having just launched, with the input of what I'm guessing are tens of thousands of players, there are numerous issues cropping up that will eventually need tending to. However, though it isn't perfect, it is a wonderfully vibrant love note to the classic idea of space travel and exploration.
I had the good fortune in having been dropped into a planetary system with at least two planets that were earth-like, meaning the air wasn't toxic to me, and they were rich in flora and fauna. Having watched quite a few streams on Twitch in anticipation of the game's release, I have seen just how rare finding planets such as these are, let alone two in the same system, so count yourselves extremely lucky if you have a similar experience right off the bat.
The controls aren't ideal, and not having an option to remap them to personal preference seems a rather large oversight in this day and age. Having sprint set to R3 instead of L3 isn't intuitive at all, and can be rather frustrating, so my hope is eventually they allow us players to swap whichever controls we wish.
Graphics aren't a thing I worry or care about, I've been playing long enough to have been part of every graphical revolution to date, and while I find myself impressed from time to time, it isn't why I play. It's a beautiful game, that's all I'll say.
The soundtrack is great, I liked the music so much I bought it to listen to when I'm not playing. I haven't been to enough planets yet to comment on the diversity in sound effects, but from what I've heard, it gets the job done.
I very much enjoy how they've chosen to dole out the narrative of the universe, it's sparce, making the discovery of each little morsel of the overarching story a pleasure to come across. It also comes off as a clever tactic, seeing as if you wish to know more, you have to explore the planets and systems extensively.
I am most impressed with the language mini-game. There are three languages (that I know of) you learn over time, with both finding relics that teach you words, and bartering. I've learned roughly one-hundred and thirty words so far just within the Gek language, and I'm only just beginning to gain a rudimentary understanding of what some of the NPCs are saying to me.
As for general gameplay, it's just what I expected it to be, a survival/resource gathering/exploration game as I stated in the disclaimer above. Some things could use some tweaking, like how long it takes to mine resources with the mining laser, though perhaps there will be further upgrades to the laser that I simply haven't found yet, I'm still only about twelve hours into the game.
I have no advice to give on how to play a game like this, as everyone will have they're own unique way of approaching the myriad of options available, but I will give you my opinion, which you can do with as you please. Take it slow. This universe Hello Games has created is vast, and making a mad dash to the center without spending ample time exploring the nooks and crannies available in every system seems like such a waste to me. They've put so much in this game to discover, take the time to enjoy the adventure.
It's a wonderful game, I look forward to seeing what they do with it as time goes on. It's worth full price if you've been on the fence about buying it, but there's plenty to explore, so I'm sure there will be discoveries left for you in this universe if you choose to wait a bit.
Happy trails!
