I am greatly enjoying my time with No Man's Sky. Whether it is worth sixty dollars or not is entirely subjective, but so far I have been getting my money's worth. The language learning aspect of it has been my favorite part so far, I was able to learn enough words to piece together some of what one dude was saying, he was panicking about accepting a marriage proposal, I told him to just do it and he gave me a big reward for helping him out. I would've just had to pick what to do randomly if I hadn't learned part of the language. The narration of everything is really great too, very "captain's log" style.

I like a lot of the little critters I've encountered along the way, including one horrific little rat-dog with nothing but massive jaws for a face, and when he opened his mouth-face to utter his terrible screech-cry, he emitted a green glow from inside his mouth which lit up the darkness like a firefly.

It's not a perfect game, but honestly, if Sony hadn't marketed this like some AAA be-all-end-all, I think people would've been much, much happier with what they got. And if they continue to add stuff, it'll only get better. I am really impressed at the variety of stuff I've seen already from a team of only 15 people.

I haven't had any performance issues outside of it not booting initially, this will probably be fixed quickly but all I had to do was disable fullscreen(fine since I play windowed anyways). That and disabling vsync allowed me to run the game at max settings and get a solid 60FPS on a powerful pc(980ti yadda yadda). I absolutely love the lack of load times outside of first booting up the game and jumping to a new star system. Being able to putz around from planet to planet without ever hitting a loading screen really, really helps with just getting into the rhythm of the game.

After 10ish hours or so, I'm happy with my purchase so far. I've not even left the first solar system, mostly just learning the ropes, exploring each planet in the system, and learning the alien language as I go. It's a really, really chill game, very relaxing. Whether you feel it is worth the full cost at this point in time is up to you, but if they continue to add content from here, it'll only get better for me.
