March 2025
My husband bought me this game when it had first came out and I loved it. The only problem was, was he bought it on his Steam account and when he died I lost his information. After I settled back down in the states and some time had passed, I looked into it again and it was too expensive. I just looked at it last week and it was on sale for 60% off and I had to have it. I was taken back to a happier time when I was a little more innocent and my heart wasn't weighed down. I can escape into the stars and savour a little bit of nostalgia from a happier time. This game took my breath away then and with all the updates it has had in the years in between it continues to capture my imagination and whisk me away to far flung lands.

No Man's Sky achieved the impossible—resurrection from gaming's most notorious failure into a content-rich exploration simulator. Yet it remains the perfect embodiment of modern gaming's existential paradox: infinite content generating finite experiences. You'll spend hours naming planets no one will visit, cataloging species no one will see, and building bases no one will inhabit—a perfect digital recreation of our cosmic insignificance.

I am 82 years old. This game is a real challenge for my short term memory. If you don't remember key strokes, you will die regularly. My grandson is embarrassing me.

I can't believe they kept working on it after launch. I can't believe they didn't just take the money and run. I can't believe they righted their wrongs. I can't believe they delivered on their promises. I can't believe they unsunk the sinking ship. I can't believe this game is finally worth the money.

Rough launch or not, the No Man's Sky of today is everything that was promised and more. I cannot absolve the devs of false promises, but I am also free to praise them for the merits they've earned. VR, expeditions, years of updates, diverse missions, aesthetic patches, different types of bases, exosuits, submarines, *actually existing* multiplayer, new ships, multitools, and I was shocked revisiting the game after a few years. No Man's Sky in 2024 is a completely different game.
