Well the first users are starting to get their opinions out about the now infamous No Man's Sky, and predictably, the results are very "meh". There is nothing obscenely wrong with the game, it's functional and has an interesting premise. However the game has somehow built such a huge tidal wave of hype, there was literally no way that people wouldn't realize the wave was littered with whale spunk.
The general consensus, seems to be that the game is repetitive, and while enormous, doesn't fill that huge space with anything of value. Within the first couple of hours you will have seen the gameplay loop that is supposed to fill your endless hours. Needless to say, this has left people bummed. It's basically a survival game, gathering resources and doing the same objectives over and over again with slightly different scenery.
Nothing is broken about the game, it all works, it just isn't as interesting as it was all made out to be.
So Escapists, what do you think? Have you seen the gameplay? Played the game? What do you think? Could No Man's sky ever have lived up to the hype train it rode in on?
