I know I’m wilding but I actually liked the launch game more than what it became. But that says more about what I look for in a game than the quality of NMS. It objectively became a better game than it was at launch, but it pivoted to become more of a crafting and building thing than an exploration game…. And I’ve been done with crafting and building for a long time

I've been meaning to try it and a couple days ago I realized it was already in my Steam library.

I think I’ve heard somewhere an opinion that someone preferred the original atmosphere of the game even if it was flawed. I do wonder if they have a mode for that.

I haven’t played the game so I don’t know, but that’s the first thing I think of for some reason

I bought the game, tried to fly into the nearest star, and found out that it was just a part of the skybox. Immersion ruined :(

Those are Stellaris ships

I just picked it up on a steam sale. Excited to try it out again. Played it a little a long time ago but didn't know what to do. Apparently it's gotten a lot better and I love space stuff

Yup, been a fan for years, and it just keeps getting better. I really want to get a steam frame when it comes out so I can experience it in all its glory.

202 hours so far, and I recently picked it up again. I really love the worldbuilding with the aliens, and the exploration is very fun. My main gripe is that it's not very conducive to multiplayer, since you're constantly on the move with little need to maintain a consistent base. I tried using my friend's corvette as a main hub but defaulted to my own planetary base after a while.

PS5 or Switch 2? Which version do you all think is best?

Yes, hello fellow no man’s sky enjoyers

It was alright but it felt like the flight mechanics was on rails compared to like Elite or x4. I got my money's worth and may come back in the future but it never really got it's hooks in me.

ialways come back to it when i want something chill. i am building a corvette to be a flying greenhouse, and spend too much time fishing and cooking lol

I liked it briefly, but it fell off for me. I feel like there needs to be an area to go to, or missions to pick up, or something that is a higher difficulty. I feel like a mid-range quality ship and weapon will do everything in the game without issue, and when you continue to get upgrades and suddenly everything the game has to throw at you poses so little of a challenge you could afk while being shot at with little issue... Well, it didn't hold my attention anymore unfortunately. I really want to like it more than I do.

Have they fixed the movement so sprinting doesn't disable when the terrain rises 2 cm? And so you don't have to melee-jump to get everywhere at a decent speed?

Are there more than 2 space station interiors now? And more than 3 hostile plants across multiple galaxies? And actual geography like rivers or ice caps?

As you can maybe tell I wanted to like the game but wasn't very impressed when I played ~2 years ago.

Too boring for me to enjoy it. I can’t really get into open world sandbox games in general though so that’s more of a personal preference view point than anything.
