    My main critique about the game is that it gives an empty feeling when you start as a new player. That I think could be easily improved if they gave you one companion or voice in the beginning, or just some main NPC who is interweived into the tutorial with voice lines. I think that would give every other part of the game more meaning and make it feel meaningful, instead of empty, just completing tasks and running around. It only captivates when you make it pass the intro stage and it becomes an absolutely beautiful sandbox experience.

Because no matter when you join they just impliemented a fantastic change with another postivie change on the horizon. This game went from disaster to being a lesson on what a developer can do when they care about a product and don't give up...and a fan base who didn't give up. No need for No Mans Sky 2. Just continue making this game better into forever.

    It's not perfect. They added more stuff and made it look better. More features is not what's missing. The problem is it's a tedious grind with a clunky interface and there isn't really an engaging story to keep you going beyond the endless sandbox of randomly generated planets and upgrades..... mine, refine, build, repair or follow a convoluted quest sequence of go here then, go there, get this resource, etc. There is an endless process of learning a language one word at a time, as if a whole garbage can sized contraption's only function is to remember ONE WORD. This could have engaging potential if learning the language lead to being able to talk to interesting characters or reading about the history and mysteries of the universe, but no it's just used to get free stuff from NPCs that just stand there with no purpose in life but give you random stuff if they like you. The story-lines it has are mostly dry and functional, not engaging.

    I had a crazy PVP battle last night till date. Some strange, experienced player was coming in for a landing above. I attacked him because I was afraid, and it was him and his mech fighting against me, chasing me down while I was making a maze underground to get away. He hunted me and blew holes through my maze, and it was on. We were flying around underground like Dragon ball z, boosting in the air while shooting beams and lasers at each other. I lost the fight and he destroyed my ship. I had to run and swim 4 hours, being trapped with barely any healing resources to get back to a someone's base where I knew had public vehicles. I used a vehicle to hover to another base 20 minutes away that had a teleporter. I then teleported back to my base on another planet (a snowy planet) and used my refiner to repair my ship. I'm 4 days into No Mans Sky. I think there needs to be a hunt mode activator and we need proximity chat. I play NMS in VR.

    If anyone remembers spore galactic adventures?? You could create your own custom missions that other players could find in their game randomly. The game had light NPC scripting and dialogue choices n stuff with triggers and props it was so cool!
    If a NMS could implement creating a mission area the same way that you create bases for players to discover, it would give infinite replayability to the game and people could make some really sick regional specific story lines that only take place in that part of the galaxy on those planets. Imagine a specific mission someone makes on one planet is so ground breaking people go searching for it

    AS a new player I thought it was quite immersion breaking after 8 years that every space station was the same inside regardless of faction / location, same with out buildings all having the same layout, and every crashed freighter too. Then after you witness the anomaly , or just the general power of the procedural engine for the planets you wonder why they couldn't do more of that. but apart from that I have been wowed pretty much everywhere else.

    My goodness, this game is amazing. I've only had it for a month now, but I've already put over 100 hours into it. My only real complaint is the inventory management. It sucks sooooo much.... haha. If they could improve that somehow, I'd be a happy camper.

    As a PC gamer coming from wing commander, privateer, and star citizen - this is an awesome game.
    The mechanics work and it’s FUN to explore. The cartoonish colors do make it look stupid, but this is what we wanted star citizen to have. An actual space exploration game that works.
    100% it’s nowhere near star citizen depth and art, but it fills the gap between crazy awesome tech demo and enjoyable game play. My only complaint is the art direction. If it was darker and grittier a lot more sci-fi fans would be on board.

Still, by far the best game out there.

Give me a space opera on steroids, a.l.a. Knights of the Old Republic, Rogue Trader, or Mass Effect, and I will never leave that universe. That game would put Starfield and even Star Citizen to shame. 😁👍

      Bethesda magic isn't with bethesda anymore buddy, if you want a game with deep rpg, dialogues and great characters the game you want is Cyberpunk or the witcher 3
      But back to NMS, the only problem the game has in the story department is the presentation...
      Presentation of the story in NMS is almost inexistent.
      Characters also lack personality i mean, you can clearly notice the difference between the characters but it seems like everyone is getting along just fine and the only villain in the game is actually tragedy itself.
      Atlas is a mysterious and incomprehensible entity, the sentinels that serve Atlas are just some sort of space police, depending on what you do and where you are they won't even attack you.
      Pirates are just pests, they are the only real evil folks in the.
      Everything else is simply nice people.
      the folks from the anomaly are just nice folks, the factions have their peculiarities and even their sins, but overall are just people.
      NMS is missing a more simple villain, some antagonist that the player should struggle.
      Also the game does have companions, not much and the variety isn't great but you have the small and talkative reprogrammed sentinel Lailaps and the mech who doesn't talk so much but will greatly help you while battling.
      I think this characters should be given more personality, and also NMS surelly need more companions and not just machines.

But it's a lot to ask. i too want a fully developed 1 to 1 scale galaxy where every planet is individually coded to evolve life randomly to fit specific neitches in that unique planets environment...and environment that will change over time as planets move realisitically through space, experience real weather and cosmic events, complete with advanced life developing where you can meet aliens with their own unique persoanlities to where if you want you can hang up your space ship, pick a backwater world and become a marketing agent, selling advertisement space on a pirate radio frequencey on the second moon of the 5th planet of the WhatTheHellAmITalkingAbout system to where eventually I can implement a communist revolution where i turn that second moon into a soviet dystopia with me as it's authortarian ruler everntually controlling a space fleet of 1 million ships where I will invade the galaxy in my attempts to eventually convert or wipe all out all sentient life...and once io do that...i'll go meta and try to hack the source code and then i will prove to all the AI sentient life in the game that they're actually part of the matrix which will cause mass hysteria in the game world......

Also better UI for traveling as well and going to previous planets. But tbh I think LNF is going to be the game that hits the spot. NMS is great for a space fan like me to play a couple of hours for fantasizing. But it’s not on the scale and depth I want like Star Citizen or even Star Field. Plus the universe is a bit weird with no cities and history that’s clear. Hope LNF does that better with it being on one planet.

    Some kind of raid with different enemy types. Outside of the sentinels there’s not really anything else to fight. The bugs that hop out of eggs need more variations maybe some big boss versions.

    Speaking of moons and orbits, how difficult would it be for them, at this point, to create systems with properly orbiting planets AROUND a star? 'Cause that's not a huge annoyance, but it does bug me to see it being so unrealistic.
