"I feel in the next few years we are going to see more of a rise in indie titles than AAA games" ~ TheAnalogueKid

And I feel the same, back when this was first said I didn't fully grasp the concept. But I totally get it now. People and gaming companies are on the march of something spectacular when it comes down to what used to be a team of no less than 20 - 30 people. But one in particular to this topic I'm starting is a review on the game company Hello Games and their New Released Title

NO MAN'S SKY

At first I was curious four(4) years ago when they made the stage floor with their demo of the game. A team of only just a few people grew to 15 developers into this gem of a title. Soon after which me and my friends became curious of what the main focus was going to be based upon.

Me playing the game Starbound a 2D space sandbox game by Chuklefish Studios and being a favorite game to play when I'm bored could see the aspect of a 3D version of that. Not so much on building aspect but I loved Starbound for its endless RNG style of planets you could visit and the mods added to it for more species made it even more diverse.

But I'm not writing a review on that, but was to give you an idea of my expectation.

No Man's Sky is a game with procedurally generated universe on record 18 Quintillion planets you explore that are in a sense for you to navigate through upload to the Atlas network. A network developed by Hello Games that uploads the planets other players visit for information on who discovered it and that the planet details down to the last organism to the star system you visit.

The Atlas Network pays you with in-game currency for every upload which can be very rewarding to players who are not very great at collecting supplies. The game's core concept is to reach to the center of the universe. Which I barely myself even have done, however the game has four tenants; Explore, Trade, Survive, and Survey.

Four which can be very detailed in their meaning. From surviving out in the barren cold frozen tundra to the lifeless dead barren wastelands. To the lush bounties of a moon flourishing with life than the bigger radiated planet it hovers over. Every planet is a a book waiting to be read and to me every place I've visited tells a story.

The game itself has a reward system for those brave enough to explore the planets they discover. from Exosuit upgrades, to even crashed ships. And highly powerful weapons made as "Multi-tools" each and every player's experience will be different and no one's will be the same.

In the near 12 hours I've played this game on my PC I've discovered the blueprints for making my own fuel for warping between planets. Different libraries of dialects for 6 different species. And nearly covered for 500,000 units in the game farming for Ship Fuel.

You can be the bad kind of explorer attacking space Frigates to even being attacked yourself for materials you haul from other planets to sell for profit. Everything is out to get you in this game, survival is something you have to admire from this game.

Being as I am a person who just loves space I feel at home playing this game it has what I'd expect from being a trader in Elite Dangerous to being able to explore on foot and survive like in Starbound. Maybe we'll see more unfold for Hello Games in the future or maybe even this title to maybe see about building our own ships like in Space Engineers. I dare to dream, but I am already living the dream in No Man's Sky.

In the first few days playing the game there are bound to be bugs (Like falling through the world FPS drop entering your ship etc.) when Hello Games are tediously working on through their Steam Community, but that isn't something I'd be worried about. Its a big game for a new upstarting game company. For those who are anxious I'd recommend waiting for a stable update release or maybe even a price drop (since the pre release offers are gone) and if you feel risky on doing it on Pc then get it for Console.

NO MAN'S SKY
7.5/10 Pts.
