Description: No Mans Sky – absolutely unique game, which is difficult to attribute to one particular genre. Hello Games studio created it and released in August 2016. This project is a space simulator with RPG system, in a sci-fi setting. The main mission of the game is to reach the center of the universe in order to reveal an unusual secret. In No Man’s Sky, you will come across a severe climate of planets and their inhabitants, as well as dangerous space phenomena, along with hostile pirate ships. This idea based on ideas from the Spore game.
The originality of the game is using the procedural generation. The planets, their biomes, flora and fauna are creating randomly. Galaxies, comets, meteorites and other objects of the space system are also locating and creating accidentally. Fascinating fact is that the game was tested by artificial intelligence, who travelled the expanses of galaxies and planets and analyzed them. Therefore, the developers were able to make the generation of the world quite diverse.
Reviews
For an indie developer this game is excellent. Definitely had problems at release, but do to constant improvements the game is becoming a gem. The price is fair based on the size (infinite) of the game. Clearly faster walk speed and mining speed should be toggleable quality of life options, but sometimes developers make you use mods. Don’t ask me why.
Keep in mind that for the most part this is an exploration game. Everything else is secondary.
Possibly one of the funnest and most mysterious games I have ever played. The premise itself is so amazing yet poorly executed. It however is making an amazing comeback and I am truely proud to be one of the many galaxy explorers. With the No Man’s Sky NEXT update looming very soon (Next day). I am excited as i can ever be. Congrats to Hello Games for making one of the most ambitious comebacks ever!
