No Man's Sky is enjoying its 'biggest month in the last few years', coinciding with the launch of Starfield : nomanssky

Jokes on you guys... I expected dogshit from Bethesda. So a half baked space skyrim is actually more than I expected. 22 hrs in and I'm enjoying it. Solid 7/10 if you weren't over hyped

The modders are working feverish to get it up to speed at least. So many QoL mods are being pushed out it's hard to keep up. It might be a slow process for Bethesda, but I don't think it'll take that long for the game to reach some better standard of quality.

It's just a shame it's down to modders to do what Bethesda couldn't.

It’s how Bethesda works. They release a barely functional foundation, then free labor fixes it and makes it into a working game.

That was also the case with Cities Skylines and Paradox. They never fixed the one-lane-only bug, or the one where hospitals kill patients sending ambulances to a home on the other side of the city that’s up a steep hill 6 map tiles away, having to go through downtown intersections that cycle 2 ambulances per green.

It's a hell of a lot more polished now. I enjoyed it quite a bit for the 40 or so hours I played. I will probably be back at some point considering they have added a ton of content since I stopped playing. They should probably just work on a DLC at this point. I appreciate the hell out of them for making the game a lot deeper than what was initially promised but I also want to see them make some money for doing so.

Got this on 50% sale and it's the best purchase I've made in a while. The game is so vast and well executed I'm absolutely in love. All aspects - ships, exploration, attachments, tools, bases, stations, freighters and enemies are so well done.

It also seems like a spiritual successor to the Galaxy On Fire series because that's the first thing I thought of while playing this. If you've played any game of that series, imagine that being made into an open world, multiplayer legendary AAA title. That's what this game has become in 2023.

It's a must buy in my opinion, one for the books and the 50% off deal is an absolute steal.

I bought it two or so years ago when they fixed a lot of things and felt compelled to award their efforts and paid full price i think. I have hardly played it until last week and i'm like 30 hours in. This game is filled to the brim with stuff and content. I have hardly done a main mission and i don't even know if i want to or should.
The only negative part about the game that i could think off is that the multiplayer is pretty wonky

Been playing it and finished the old story. Now onto other things.

Is the story worth playing? I play for a week and always find new things that distract me.
