And there are over 18 quintillion planets in No Man’s Sky’s procedurally generated universe. I could explore every inch of this massive planet if I wished. I ran around with the various creatures skittering about the landscape and experienced a feeling of incredible immersion as the scale of the thing sunk in. I walked through the trees, boosted up cliff faces with my jetpack and gazed at planets hovering on the horizon. I remember making the extremely long trek in order to find the elements needed to repair my initial ship so that I could venture onward. I recall waking up on my genesis planet and walking about the lush alien landscape in wonder. I purchased a digital download of the game for PS4 on day one and began playing. No Man’s Sky was released a few months later. I wasn’t having much fun, and as a result, I pretty much stopped playing. I spent months in Elite: Dangerous mining and fighting, but I became frustrated when the difficulty of amassing assets in order to upgrade ships became a huge barrier. My impression of No Man’s Sky at that point was that it would be less of a “whole scope” universe simulation than Elite it seemed from previews that No Man’s Sky wouldn’t be presenting an “I can fly from point A to point B across the galaxy without ever breaking frame” environment, and I wondered if that would make for a smaller experience. I also grabbed Elite: Dangerous when it landed on the Mac I wasn’t a PC person yet, and was amazed by its realism. The previews looked pretty amazing and, as I had a PS4, I was excited for its release. I first heard of No Man’s Sky in the summer of 2015. My wife and 10-year-old daughter are likely very tired of hearing No Man’s Sky anecdotes.Īll told, I’ve spent around $4,000 on the game. I'm a denizen of the related Reddit subs and have gained some small renown there. I’ve been rather prolific on Twitter, sharing experiences and evangelizing the game out of a sense that most unhappy players don’t quite “get” it.
I’ve played the game for over 400 hours so far, having explored 415 planets across 135 systems. I’m a pretty big fan of Hello Games’ No Man’s Sky, although that’s something of an understatement.
