- No Man's Sky was a mess when it launched in 2016. So looking at the game now in 2023, has it changed at all?
Well, that's what I tried to find out in this video. Along with my friend Andrew, we flew as a duo and solo to see if you should play No Man's Sky in 2023.

I have now sunk in 50+ hours into this game. It keeps showing new stuff. Please help me. My family hasn't seen me in days.
Real I’ve only got like 20 hours or less I think but it’s addicting
last i played was on the "NEXT" update. I just logged 167hrs since from 2 days before the update. LOL I did not know a update was coming. :)
As a preorder player with around 3500 jrs of play ot was an amazing ride watching this game metamorphosize into what it is today.
After 50 hours minute mark a clock starts ticking which counts down the time towards full understanding of a simple fact that the game is as wide as an ocean, as deep as a puddle. Doesn't mean that its bad, it just means that it has nothing to offer past a certain point, unless you enjoy.. grinding or exploring just for the sake of it. That or just base building in general. The stuff that people build over this game is insane.
Did you know during space battles if you press and hold fly backwards you lock onto enemies ships, not sure if you were already doing it but it makes space combat a heck of a lot easier. 👍
I think it's awesome they never gave up and made something of the game.
Super dope! I’m happy they didn’t give up on it. Cause I played it when it launched on PS4 and I was very confused.
@@MrSaviorHDit was an absolute lie on day 1 my brother had bought it day 1 and got disappointed but when I played it in lockdown and my brother saw me play the game he got shocked and reinstalled the game.
Seriously. A good example of perseverance, and the rewards it brings in the long term.
@@MrSaviorHD "they pulled a sean murray" has a totally different meaning now
@@muzamilnabinadroo The issues at the drop were because SONY refused to postpone the release date that HG had requested due the HG studio getting flooded on Christmas day three and a half months earlier and they lost all their hard drives at the studio containing everything. What we got at the games launch was what they were able to piece together from their laptops they had at home with them over the Christmas holiday.
Don't forget, all the updates in No Man's Sky are completely free, which is an amazing breath of fresh air in today's gaming climate.
the sheer amount of content they have too
Cod updates are free, what are you talking about? Cyberpunk dlc is free, what you are talking about? Fall out 76 expansions are free, what are you talking about?
@@thagrizz5497cyberpunk has yet to release a dlc, and when it does release it will cost $
@@thagrizz5497CONSOOOOM
@@thagrizz5497 two of the games you mentioned are riddled with microtransactions
the redemption story of this game is truly one of the best in video game history. Would have been so easy for them to count the money and leave it at that but to pump out so much additional content is such a rare thing. Deserves all the praise and good fortune they can get!
While they deserve credit for not totally abandoning the game. I think many people latched onto that narrative and ran away with it. The fact is that the game remains shallow and deeply flawed. The world generation is great, it was at launch, it remains so, it's the core feature. Outside of that though, you could see everything in a few hours. Quests have very little variety and are mostly comprised of go here, talk to this guy, go there scan that, etc. The economic system in game is shallow and easily exploited. Base building is it's own separate thing with no real purpose. The story quests are highly repetitive, reusing the same assets over and over again. Combat progression exists via various mods and weapons and such, but is pointless. You're exposed to all the hardest enemies in the game immediately, which you can also therefore defeat immediately, quite easily actually. So the progression is there... for what? There's nothing to fight. Again, while the planet generation and variety is great, *everything else* is not, there are what... 3 station models? In the whole multiverse of the game? Sentinels and other factions reuse the same few buildings constantly everywhere and in exactly the same way. Ships have some randomly changing looks but little real variety. The end game for most people winds up being just looking up seeds and waiting around in stations for the ships you want to show up.
I didn't play it at launch, I watched the controversy and decided against giving it a try. Last year I picked it up since there seemed to be agreement that it was now worth peoples time. As a 5ish hour fun little visual experience... sure, maybe... but it was that at launch as well. The gameplay though is just a series of unrelated activities with no depth or variety. I don't personally see that anything has really changed substantively to be honest, it's a mess.
I think people have been so abused by the AAA game industry in the last decade or so that any time a company *doesn't* shit on your face they think it must be the second coming of Christ and lose all objectivity.
@@entelin cheers for the insights, I'm yet to play it myself but it's on the backlog radar for games I'd like to try when I can find the time. Yes, my impression from the gameplay I've seen is that it's perhaps a bit sandbox-y and maybe hence is not overly deep with it's mechanics or gameplay - though I'm impressed with the seemingly broad range of different things you can do (that seems ever growing with each update).
My original comment was more inline with your last paragraph about the state of AAA gaming and the constantly diluted games we get these days that are stripped of features and beat you over the head with paid DLC, season passes and shallow 'improvements' (if they are an annual release game). The fact a small development team can continually update and push out content for their game (after it's less than ideal debut and fall from grace) is a genuine rare breath of fresh air (which is where my admiration and desire to try the game out come from). Most other studios or publishers would take the pre order and day 1 sales money, maybe do a few half baked updates or DLC packs and move onto the next money maker project. To the No Man Skies devs (my perception from the outside looking in), it seems to be a genuine passion project for these devs and for that, I can only tip my proverbial hat in praise and recognition.
@@entelinThis very much sounds like the type of comment I see on Steam from people who haven't played the game past the first 2-3 hours or that have vicariously experienced the game through CZcams videos. The game has a tonne of customisation, there are many MANY systems for automation. You have incentives to explore. There are handcrafted events and experiences outside of the core loop. There is also just a lot of content once you get the hang of the basics, and a lot to strive towards thanks to that.
No Man's Sky has become a sandbox like Minecraft, you have to take its systems and find your own end goal through it, and it WILL reward you materially for doing so (unlike Minecraft where it's mostly just for the sake of self-gratification).
@@Dynamo33 I played the game all the way through. Saw some pretty sweet bases, built my own, made a factory, got a freighter (which funny enough was the largest/best one first shot). Went to some other iterations as well. Minecraft has it's limitations but it does have progression in the base game, mods are really what has kept mc alive though. But I stand by everything I said, you said it yourself, it's mostly a sandbox. There is no real progression, it has activities, but pretty quickly you aren't really working towards any real goal, especially in the combat department. A lot of systems are there, but they are all dead ends, and most have no relevance to any other part of the game.
@@entelin define progression because I feel this game has numerous progression systems given the textbook definition..
I think developers should focus on making the first hours more fun for the next update. redesign the first hours from the ground up, make it more fun to capture more players.
Yep, honestly if they rework the beginning part of the game (the part where u have to fix ur ship) i think it definitely improve the game by a lot imo. Maybe add something exciting and stimulating before it or even completely rewrite the beginning part.
Yeah I'm really trying to power through that dreadful beginning. I hear and see how great the game becomes but with All these new releases I haven't had the time or motivation to stick with No man's sky. The opening sequence is extremely boring.
Ditch the long winded tutorial, make it optional.
This Game is so Huge its insane . Its a whole Galaxy man wtf
2024 Omage Update overhaul the Tutorial, main quest line and they keep adding much more.
Holy shit. Maybe the _Starfield_ we needed was the _No Man's Sky_ we had all along...
There's actually nothing to do in no mans sky tho even still they jus added a bunch of fluff mechanics with no substance but okay.
@@leafstormblaze9449how long have you played the game? Theres hundreds of hours of content now
yeah no shot lmao. Unless you wanted No Man Sky for No Man Sky, starfield aint doing any of that shit. Starfield do Bethesda RPG, which is a whole different beast that no other dev has managed to replicate.
@@vargrhelsing8042 well the funny thing is, is starfield has all of the stuff he showed in this video and more it jus doesn't have flying down on to the planets cause the planets actually have content on them other than randomised missions.
Nah they serve entirely different demographics. No Man's Sky is an exploration game. Starfield is am RPG (and a Bethesda RPG at that). Starfield is more for people who wanted a bigger outer worlds and mass effect with the longevity and freedom of Skyrim. No Man's Sky is for people who wanted Minecraft in Space.
NMS has made the greatest comeback in video game history. It's crazy how so complicated it gets especially if you have a ton of time invested in this game.
They need to change the start of the game. It’s really hard to get into. It just feels boring and tedious at first
@@igortolstov487 Yes, the base game is really tedious and boring (namely collecting materials while avoiding sentinels and dealing with environmental hazards). But I think the POI's, missions, and big space battles are the best parts of the game. I haven't played in a while, but I just came back and discovered Titan Worms and they scared the crap out of me. XD Overall, the positives outweigh the negatives nowadays.
It’s amazing to see how they actually created true multiplayer. I remember around the time it came out I found someone, and they were literally just an orb
@@landonr.5841 Haha! I learned to never pr-order games, so I didn't play it at launch for obvious reasons. I first played about 2 years ago when I saw good reviews and I've been playing off and on ever since.
Still love playing it tbh
I played this at release for about 1 week and there was literally NOTHING to do, this is wild how far it’s come since then, will definitely be adding this to my wishlist now
It's on gamepass!
It only took 7 years to make a game playable
@@laminatas4208not really, its been playable and fun for a few years already. but I guess if you base your opinion solely on the release date of a youtube video you might be correct
But is there actually things to do now? Like motivating quests? I'm a story guy, and open worlds get boring unless ls it's part of a long term story arc
@@howardyeah Not really
The fact that they took the criticism (justly so) and actually worked towards a game that fit the vision is both inspiring and incredible
You don't have to build your first base on a specific planet. You can build it anywhere. I just flew to a planet I thought looked really cool and had tons of resources and did it there. Also, small tip, build it next to a place with a launching pad and a galactic trade terminal. That way, you don't expand fuel when you take off and you can trade without having to teleport or fly to a space station.
The fuel note is a game changer. You’re somewhat limited on where to build the first base. Since you don’t have the hyperdrive yet allowing you to go to other systems. So you just have the 5 or so planets to chose from.
Damn that is a big brain idea.
I've played NMS for nearly 100 hours and never knew you didn't expend fuel launching from a pad... thanks for the tip!
Can also just build a launching pad
you can always build the launching pad dude
It’s an absolute credit to Sean and team that not even Starfield was able to accomplish things No Man’s Sky had day 1.
after a few hours in starfield, I dont think it's fair to compare both games. I played it without seeing ANY reviews or opinions on it and I really like Starfield. It's just more of your typical bethesda RPG and no mans sky seems to be more of a sandbox type. That beeing said watching how you can just lift off with your ship, cruise around the planet and jump to other planets seems really really fun. Compare that to the absolute boring "jumping around using the starmap and watching cutscenes" travel mechanic in Starfield, I get how people could be dissapointed when comparing it to no mans sky. But the dialogue and missions and general content in Starfield is awsome. But might just check out No mans Sky again after playing it 1 day after release and absolutly hating it.
@@CallMeOddly No Mans Sky is very much worth it now
@@CallMeOddly If you took the universe generation and mechanics from NMS and combined it with the RPG elements and storytelling (and to some extent the graphics) of Starfield, you'dd have the perfect space exploration game
@@officially_epik you already have amazing story telling in NMS.
I think Starfield will have updates that'll fix its problems and add lots of content.
2000h in the game, still haven't achieved/acquired everything. At this point, I'm not sure how to even describe the game, because the amount of content is insane. I suppose at its core, you're a space scientist, exploring the universe and making discoveries along the way. But then....
- Warp, Fly, Land, Walk, Drive, Creature Ride, Swim on any planet, throughout countless solar systems... explore everywhere in 3rd or 1st person
- Find scorching planets with volcanos, toxic infestations & rain, freezing tornado blizzards, and tropical paradises with stunning night sky or with lightning. Even has meteor strikes!
- Dive in caves and find mysterious objects or dig your own den to avoid the dangers outside.
- Meet aliens, discover their culture, learn their history & language, help them with missions. Discuss opportunities or places to discover.
- Discover strange monsters including sandworms & dinosaurs, black market traders and crashed derelicts as you travel across an infinite space. Capture the monsters and use them as pets to help you on your journey.
- Build bases anywhere with multiple floors for anything you want. Teleport to them with ease and store resources as you explore the galaxy
- Setup the electronics in each base with lights, switches and proximity sensors. Party it up with your new light and DJ show or setup electronics to open things automatically
- Cook meals for you and your guests with crafted meal recipes from animals you herded yourself on your farm. Enjoy the bonus from eating various ingredient combinations
- Trade throughout the universe; buy stock items and warp between Space stations, Airports and minor settlements to make money
- Or become a fighter and hunt traders, other pirates, or the law. Use an emergency jump and get the hell outta there
- Get an Aircraft Carrier to store your Fighters, Haulers and Exploration vessels. Customize the floating base with your own personal rooms and equipment. Trade with aliens that land in your new Mother Ship, invite them as Wingmen, or buy their ships out completely
- Build up your fleet of Cruisers to protect you and the Carrier. Send them out to various missions and reap the rewards or suffer the damage from mistakes
- Land directly on the Cruisers of your fleet and gather their profits or explore their engine room to repair the damage
- Upgrade your Carrier, ships, vehicles, guns & backpack with better shields, weapons, and storage space.
- Join multiplayer in all of the above and blow your mind.
And now all this noise about Starfield. It might be good but I have a PS4 and I'm enjoying this game. Do what you want, no strict storyline to follow. Updates constantly providing new content. I think I'll stick with this game!
@@JimDog794you have a ps4 so you got no choice 😂 🤣😂🤣
@@thetrashcanman7537 Well there's nothing wrong with that. I can afford most consoles and gaming computers but choose to keep using my PS4. I have a nice collection of games which I usually get at a fraction of the cost of the newly released games people are in a rush to buy. I've bought games for ten dollars or less that we're sixty dollars when first released. I don't have all the latest and maybe or maybe not greatest games or equipment but I save money plus get a lot of time to review videos of gameplay of releases that I might be interested in. So go ahead and laugh but I'm making good use of my money and not wasting it.
Wait we can get an aircraft carrier?!
Yeah they're called "Freighters" in the game. it holds all your ships and allows NPC ships to dock too. You can buy the NPC ships, trade with them, or just hire them as Wingmen.
The carrier comes with a complement of supporting frigates (which you can hire) that protect it and do side quests on your behalf. The carrier interior itself can be customized to whatever you want: multiple floors, storage, industrial tools, Flora tools, mission givers, and control of your frigate missions. You can also add you own personal touches like bedrooms, lounges, bars & DJ booths, and trophy rooms.
The game is awesome, and you can play for 10 minutes or 8 hours without getting "Kicked" from the server because it's based on a single-player architecture.
What I love about this video as a bit of a veteran no mans sky player is how well you reflect the way you set yourself one goal in game then end up on an absolute Sci fi odyssey with so many twists and turns. Definitely a forever game
It's so easy to get caught doing a loop of something entirely separate from what you originally set out to do because you enjoy it or you like the rewards and I love that.
That's what I loved the most about Skyrim back in the day. I definitely gotta try NMS now.

@@danielbueno8474 yeah dude i only redownloaded it today and its so good,i was on my way to a planet but went to its moon instead and i was the first one to see this creature and i named it moondog
I really don't understand how could anybody call a game with so many repeating patterns 'forever game' when it's marketed as 'every planet is unique'. I finished the core game in 1 week and just disappointed by how every single galaxy or system has same planet and creature types/models. Sometimes I'm feeling like people are way too blind than my expectations. Have fun anyways.
The fact they're still putting out updates 7 years later is incredible. Went from a game I swore I'd never buy to one of my all time favorites.
People originally thought it was a bait and switch scam, but no, the devs really care and that's one of the most important aspects of a game. Bad leadership leads to either bad games, or no games. I'm glad they stuck it through and kept at it.
@@manictiger No Man's Sky didn't suffer from bad leadership, it was inexperienced leadership contending with a self inflicted concoction of expectation creep mixed with scope creep. It actually takes good leadership to reconvene and turn around what would've been the death knell for any other game developer. Compare this with the tragedy of Anthem, and that was from a seasoned developer with a history of large scale games under it's belt.
@@syloui
I'm saying it has good leadership. It's just that initially, people thought it was a bait and switch scam.

I can't understate how insane NMS's redemption arc is. It went from being the disappointment of a lifetime to one of my favorite games and I was there for the whole thing. 2023 NMS really is what we hoped for back in 2016.
I have put over 100 hours into this game and I haven’t seen half the things you have in a 30 minute CZcams video. I love how much there truly is to do in silly infinite space game
I just did a quick read of this game's Wikipedia page. It's commendable how Hello Games learned from their mistakes and totally changed their PR strategy after the disastrous launch. They correctly identified over-hype as the problem that created most of the backlash, so every update since then has received little to no press before its release. They put their heads down, develop the update, and don't show something unless they actually have something to show. The results, I think, speak for themselves.
I think they simply ran out of funds in 2016 and had no choice but to release an absolutely unfinished and unpolished mess in order to get more money to continue funding the game.
@@unrealsimon93 My understanding of it was that Sony pushed them to release early due to the hype surrounding it.
These days whenever they are about to release new information Sean Murrey (the director) tweets out a single emoji that is kind of vaguely relevant to the new update. The subreddit loses their freaking minds every time. All the hype with none of the risk of over promising.
@@unrealsimon93they had no choice because Sony gave them a deadline and they missed it (losing half of their progress in a flood didn’t help).
Sony didn’t want to delay the game because of the hype, so they forced the launch.
Developers learning from their mistakes, that's a rarity these days.
That's a rarity for ALL humans . HaVe you seen human history? People dont learn shit then get mad when things go wrong...
The greatest part about it is that the dev team is so small and they've sold so many copies of the game that they can work on this game just for the sake of it (like they have been) while living comfortably. At this point, pretty much all their promises with the game at launch have been fulfilled and then some, they're doing it for their own fun at this point. It's a mentality big game companies would never understand.
How great, that in the end they get rewarded for scamming people! What are consequences!
Yay, fuck the consumer, money grows on trees afterall!
scamming people? bruh @@NtoTheM
@@NtoTheMIf it's a great game now, it's not a scam.
@@NtoTheMwhat are you talking about?
Oh I don't know, the inability of countless people back then scammed out of refunding a shit game filled with nothing but lies? @@cipher01
The way to avoid a spacefight with sentinel fighters is to cruise in atmosphere (just above ground really) for a while till they lose track of you, then go up and out.
Ever since i saw internet historians video on this game ive been routing for it and the development team ever since and the absolute roller coaster of a journey we've had is truly inspiring
This is, handsdown, one of the best recoveries in game history. And they've probably made it better than originally promised. A true testament to a developer and publisher who have non-money grabbing ethics. True passion and heart.
I don't think anything will top the epic come-back on Final Fantasy XIV.
I also love how they let everyone use save editors. There's no pvp in the game so why not? 🤷 You can make some crazy things happen with it 🚀👨🚀

Eh, it turns into chores pretty fast.
Far superior to StarfLop
That doesn't excuse them from their lies
@@0lemus0lent05 It didn't look like it was fast for me. It took me quite some time to max out and complete all the stuff.
i doubt it@@makaiokalahama
i got back into it a couple years ago after buying it at launch and abandoning it for years and i was blown away by it. it was pretty much what they promised in the first place but it looks even better now!!! im definately going to get back into it again
I started a few months back and was blown away how crazy fun it is. It's one of those games you can literally get sucked in for hours if you're not careful lol. Thanks for the awesome video!!
Once you realize too that NMS has space, land, and underwater content, its really a great time. Taking the time to build something cool on a planet, uploading it and then seeing what other folks have built is really amazing
I made an underwater base
I made a base close to a heavily trafficked area [it’s near a portal]. People actually have stopped by to check it out lol. Really cool. I put health & hazard refils, searchable lootcrates, and farmables inside lol. Something for everyone :)
And then it deleting lol
Just shows that the devs really did want to deliver on the experience they had promised. I played this like two years ago and was blown away with how far it had come but now this truly looks like a great experience. Definitely on my list again
With all due respect, it did take YEARS to be a decent game. Glad it's where it is but shouldn't have been that way.
@@ajbarraza8894 sometimes you simply run out of money/dev time and have to release the game with what you have. It's unfortunate for players but that's the reality of making games as a business. After release you can use the money from game sales/microtransactions to continue developing the game further
@@ajbarraza8894true but im glad it didnt stay that way
@@ajbarraza8894at its core the game is still the same,there is more shit to do but if you dont enjoy its battles you'll find yourself in a farming/building simulator on space,it gets repetitive so fast,even if u try the new content like the outposts it all feels so generic and empty..i guess its related to it being a procedural game
@@ajbarraza8894 That's a valid opinion, but I think that if it had more time and was more well-received, it wouldn't be as good a game as we have now.
Criminally underrated channel. Just subbed, loved every minute of it, fantastic story telling!
Love your video and channel, keep going pal, you are absolutely good with this.
The most ridiculous part of NMS is that it has a VR mode built in and it is freaking amazing in VR. The flying is satisfying and hard and just exploring worlds is crazy immersice for me.
I've literally never played NMS on my monitor. I've made it my VR only space game since Elite Dangerous is such trash now in comparison
True. The psvr2 update last month made the visual crazy. It's so clear and you can see so far
Space combat in NMS in VR is an amazing experience. I am crap in desktop mode, but in VR I'm an ace pilot. Just being able to use your actual head to look around for your target is such a step up.
@@kasuraga ED seems like the exact opposite of NMS. ED started out so promising and then just fizzled out while NMS was a disaster that now seems to be universally loved.
Recently I've been getting back into ED because I just love the VR experience, but I'm considering NMS since it's a full game. What do you think ED does better than NMS?
@@CyRxJustinI would say Elite Dangerous is better at preventing video game addiction, other than that….
The fact that a common part of progression is building your own farms and the such so you can make money is just so nice, sure you can do whatever you want but having an actual reason to engage with the building side of the game is really nice
I love growing space weed in my freighter
Completed the campaign today, got all the goodies and never once farmed ( can't even do it properly )
Nanites u can freighter farm
Money - 1 nice sentinel ship sets you for the game etc
It's cool seeing big ass farms tho
Livin' that Gek life.
Makes you wonder what's in that stuff, some of those guys have bugged out eyes and you wonder...did they smoke too much?
This game gave me nostalgia I didn’t know I needed. Building some of the most elaborate bases to the OST. I’ll never forget. And the first VR experience I had with this game was mind blowing. As a kid I only dreamed of something like this. As an adult I was in love with the concept and platform.
bro congrats on all these views 2.2m so far and only your 11th vid. you should be super proud of yourself and i can see this channel getting big. you gained another subscriber today keep it up!
One of the few underdog stories i actually like, when you know the context behind it and see how much they truly care about the game it truly makes me remember why i want to make games in the future
Ye. I wrote off NMS as a scammy cashgrab when it came out in it's sorry state, BUT nobody interested in doing a cashgrab would then spend the next six years providing free updates for the game. So it was, genuinely, a combination of overambition and incredibly bad PR sense (i.e. the multiplayer lie)... but actually still a passion project.
Though there's one big downside to NMS's comeback: It gives false legitimacy to all the other cash grabby 'oh, just give us X years, we'll turn this game awesome just like NMS did' attempts.
@@Alblaka probably to avoid fucking lawsuits, same reason chronicles of elyria is still 'technically' in development... difference here being the developers actually exist.
doubt they'd post-launch develop NMS as much as they have if it wasn't for the owner lying his literal ass off on TV trying to sell the game.
"free updates", "passion project" lol... I want to live in your world, it seems awesome. .
@@leoshest9651 You really don't know the full context, watch Internet Historian's video "The Engoodening of No Man's Sky." No threat of lawsuits would be strong enough to force out six years of content; six years is a *long* time and, as far as I can tell, no other badly released game in recent times has done something close to that.
Stop celebrating them for finally delivering a half-decent game… they still haven’t delivered what was advertised. Never will.
Making games is HARD, but also very fun
The fact that they continue to add content is crazy…. Definitely a must-play
Christ it's a must buy even if you don't play it right away.
I just wish the Starfield update thing I keep hearing about had been part of this base game and not sold separately as it’s own different game.
@@davejay6855honestly can’t tell if this is a joke or not lol
@davejay6855 what are you talking about?
@@davejay6855 dude why here? Plus starfield is a fucking Bethesda game give it a year no I'm not joking.
Agreed with your video, I picked up the game again when I got my steam deck this year and was hooked to the game and surprised to see how much it's changed for the better
I just randomly came across your channel and it is so amazing. Keep up the hard work!!
Thanks gamer
It's important to note that the intro quests can now be skipped with the custom mode options
Nice!
SO VERY NOT RECOMMENDED unless you know what you're doing, though. Turning the tutorial off in the custom options will just literally stick you on a planet with some basic starter stuff (some of which you'd normally learn through tutorials), and the game tells you jack-all about what to actually do. So please, please don't do this if this is your first time or if you hadn't played in years. Without the tutorial, the game is rather confusing and difficult to learn, and there's plenty of people on Steam Discussions asking inane questions because they either skipped the tutorial or didn't read the little messages it pops up explaining how things work and then they get mad at the game because they couldn't be bothered to actually learn it. NMS is not hard to play, but it DOES ask you to pay attention the first time through so it can teach you how it works. It's intuitive once you get to know it, it feels natural... but without the tutorial to guide you, you're probably going to feel so lost and/or end up doing everything the hard way.
@@Dhalin Yes, absolutely do it if it's your first time playing/been a while since you last played. Thank you for adding that! I'd also like to to that the people in the No Man's Sky subreddit are pretty cool about giving out some tips/tricks/info to help ease new players into the game. So if you have a question or two, try asking there.
im glad you showed yourself digging under the mountain for 5 min instead of checking the other side. I was hoping I wasn't the only one
My first couple of hours were spent digging through mountains,, I found several cool caves. They probably knew that people would have fun with that so they added underground generation as well.
I find that I avoid those planets with the big tall mountains like the plague. If you're there for resources, you're going to have a "fun" time jetpacking up and down endless sheer cliffs, and God Forbid you're there for a quest because quest markers are almost impossible to find. I skip these planets anytime I can. I get they were put in the game for variety but sometimes some things are just too annoying to really be useful.
I picked it up after about a year off and I love how much there is to do. I do get a bit frustrated that I can't remove side quests I don't wanna do, but at this point I just do them anyway and end up finding at least some fun about it that makes it worth the time XD
I don't even mind the slow start imo, it helps ease you into the absolute bulk of content that's open to you.
I played this for the first time last night since my 20 hours at launch and its incredible what they've done with it. I'm still very early on so haven't seen 99% of the new stuff they've put in the game but even the basics are in a completely different league to where they were in 2016. If you told me it was No Man's Sky 3 I was playing, I'd believe it.
Honestly one of the best reviews i have ever watched before buying a game. The way the game was showcased and the colors and gameplay that only amounted to an hour but had me on my seat s crazy.
Thanks!
I've been addicted to this game since reinstalling it a year ago. It's honestly in my top 5
skits, didn’t expect to see you under a random no man’s sky vid, lol
I started playing this after the NEXT update came out
you're making me come back to this game back again and thats good cus i dont have anything else to play :D
I was almost 3 years without touching the game and after watching your video I gave another chance. "Suddenly" played for 5 hours straight, and now with almost 16 hours into the game.. thank you for opening my eyes to this game again!!
All the hype around Starfield, oddly, got me curious on getting back into No Man's Sky. I'm one of those that played the release version. I still remember how that game was both incredibly barren AND incredibly unoptimized. Was burned out of the game entirely from there, was even on the skeptical camp when the "it's good now!" hype is starting to go around few years back.
Finally going back at it five days ago, and discovering the mountains of new content and gameplay features they added in(and the fact that I've yet to encounter a hard crash on my 30+ hours of gametime) is actually quite a treat.
@@CatsOverdrivewhat’s a hard crags if u don’t mind me asking? I want to jump into the game too
@@tylerdurden6917 "hard crash" is when the game bug out so bad, it either freezes or exits the game entirely, or worse, it totally freezes up your computer, requiring a manual reset.
I'm currently 68 hours in the game, still no crash encountered.
Amazing video! Laughed heaps and it’s nice to see how well you’ve done from it :)
Thanks!
No Mans Sky in 2023 looks more fun than Starfield 😂
Because starfield copied nms
It's so wholesome to see that, finally, the devs were given the opportunity to deliver the game they had in their mind from the beginning !!
It’s crazy how they have achieved that and gone so far beyond. After all these updates it honestly feels like a sequel at this point
Thank you, Starfield, for pushing me to play NMS. I love the game. Go wherever you want, build,explore, scan,hunt,fly, learn.
Without 20 loading screens every 10 minutes. 😂
Don't worry the desperate gamers will say it's still up to the levels of previous Bethesda games lol
@frank234561 I mean If you want to explore empty planets with nothing really on them and no characters who say anything after rhe first line of dialogue be my guest 😊 you can always do the fetch quests which are the main part of nms atm cause they jus keep adding more and more random ones to call it content instead of making new enemies or any sort of cities and towns or even dungeon like things on the planets but okay.
@@leafstormblaze9449 Yeah ok, says someone who must not have played NMS in a year. Derelict freighters (dungeons), Pirate freighters (ship based dungeons), seriously interesting story depth (unless you just stop reading past the first line - which some people just can't bother if NPCs don't speak it to them), planets that are anywhere from desolate to packed full of life? Yeah, where have you been?
it would be great if NMS introduced extensive ship building like Starfield tho
Great video man, I had no idea any of this kind of stuff was in this game now, definitely gonna have to give it another try and put some time in
Yippee!!!!
I play this game a lot. The only weird thing I've had happen is multiplayer stuff like spawning problems and phasing ships. But I reckon they'll have that fixed in the next patch. Multiplayer is fairly new to the game, and I can only imagine the headache of not only AI-powering spawning but then putting that in a multiplayer server-side vs client-side context.
It's a magical game, no doubt. I've spent about 2K hours in it. The base building is vastly superior to similar mechanics in any other game in my experience.
@270 hours I'm bit bored tbh.... It's always the same, all what he did on the video is all what you do over and over. I play single player, so maybe with friends could be better, but have none with the game (or without😭)
800h into my normal save and this is my absolute favourite game to play with my husband. And we've been together 10 years and played countless multiplayer games.
@@lovesiriusblack wish i get a wife like that
2k wasted hours in this shit. lmao
@@lovesiriusblack worthless life
Dang, something about new players enjoying a game ive spent an unhealthy amount of time it makes me feel a ton of joy. Hope you wind up searching the universe for your perfect ship, or multi-tool, or that perfect planet!
Much appreciated gamer
i nearly found my perfect system it is two steps from perfection, got everything i need but ancient bones and robo pets for the afk nanite farms
No Man's Sky really has come a long way huh. What a wonderful game, also Lazo with that fresh edit.
Lazo did a FANTASTIC job
you look familiar
@@MrSaviorHD❤❤❤
Got it at launch on ps4 and haven't played in years. Your video motivated me to buy it for my pc now. Super excited to get started
YT recommended your channel. I think your channel is amazing. Subscribed
I like that new players come in due to the release of Starfield. I have 1600hours in the game, but I wished I could just start and reset my brain lol
This game is honestly pretty incredible tbh. Especially if you’ve read C.S. Lewis’ “Out of the Silent Planet” or are generally a sci-fi book fan it’s really just top notch
NMS most strongly reminds me of the first few chapters of the first Robot City book. It spends a fair bit of time with the main character exploring the mining base with only himself, a slowly depleting oxygen pack, and a base managed only by robots. It gives a feeling of being alone but not in the sense of being lonely...just a silent reverent exploration. That part of the series stuck with me the most, and NMS *excels* at recreating that feeling especially early on when you're just getting used to it.
@@Fenriswaffle man I love this game. It just feels like a scifi literature fan made it instead of another "I watched Star Wars growing up and like Next Generation so here's something like that"
what a fantastic review and love the split between single player (which I like to do) and multiplayer experiences appreciate this great vid mate thanks.
Glad you enjoyed!
I just started playing this the other day and the game is amazing. I'm big into the whole space exploration scene even though i kinda gave up on EVE online after a month or so. I should probably continue the story since i get side tracked on side quests pretty easily lol. Great video
Thanks gamer glad you’re enjoying the game
You are already a legend in the CZcams community in my eyes no one has entertained me with this game like you have today thank you and I wish you all the luck on your CZcams journey
Also the part we’re you were running away from the creature that looked like a group of d*cks was funny asf
Thanks gamer! I appreciate that
@@MrSaviorHD ofc man you deserve all the recognition 👍
How do you not have 100K+ subscribers? This was such an entertaining and informative video. Keep going!
Thanks gamer!
I have to agree, keep it going :)@@MrSaviorHD
Came here as a big fan of NMS. I think it's awesome that you had a good time!
I love this game and IF any paid DLC comes along, I'll be there to support these guys. They've done an amazing job bringing out the potential of this game and I hope they continue for many years to come.
I love no man's sky. Something about no man's sky has that no other game doesn't. Not my "favorite game" but definitely up there. It satisfy my "wanderlusts" in me.
💯
it's a beautiful thing to see a game that's still getting frequent, free, major updates so long after its initial release
Can you imagine my surprise after making it through 17 minutes of this video and realizing you're not already a household game-documentary name? Incredibly high quality video, and I'll give No Man's Sky a second chance. Thanks man!
Appreciate it gamer
Great video man. I am going to LOVE this game-
It's even more impressive when you consider Hello Games is a pretty small studio. The rate at which they put out quality updates for such a small team is staggering. It puts so many other big budget corporate games to shame, where you might be lucky to get even an ounce of this kind of post launch support
Smaller game studios can probably push out patches more than big studios tbh. Too many cooks in the kitchen
Cough*Cough*The isle*Cough*cough
They could have simply not bothered and profited tens or maybe even hundreds of millions just off the initial sales, which many companies have done before them, but they didn't and it's commendable
@FalloutFM I know Sean Murray got a lot of shit after the launch but he definitely cares about this game and I think he always has. I don't think he's as awful as a person as people tried painting him. He certainly overpromised, but I don't think he ever went out there trying to make a cash grab and bail with the money. I think he believed in the ideas he had and it was way too ambitious for their small team, but he has made it right
Absolutely outstanding in VR, you just need a beast of a GPU to run it well
Or a PSVR2 if you have PS5 and you’re good to go
Elite Dangerous is still better in VR tho.
@@ArawnOfAnnwn But there's like...nothing to do in Elite.
@ArawnOfAnnwn I thought walking about is pancake VR?
the flight controls are terrible though. At least on HTC Vive.
Ive not played this game since release, you’ve convinced me to give it another go.
this video made me laugh i just love humour this guy has even if wasn't ment to be funny am gonna sub just because this video was so entertaining to watch
To my knowledge I believe you can build your first base computer on a different planet other than the one you’re on when it prompts you to follow that quest line.
You can! But they all have hazardous atmospheres since the game is teaching you the basics of life support systems. So they all are kinda meh.
@MrSaviorHD i guess i was lucky to have a paradise planet in my tutorial star system, then. I noped out of the inhospitable planet i started in and built my tutorial base in the nearby paradise planet.
@@whannabi sounds cool, but really you don't whannabi there for too long :)
Pun intended :)
Little tip: The game is always buggy following the launch of a new update. It always happens. The new Echoes update only came out like a couple weeks ago. Should have waited another month or two to let the updates settle down the bugs.
true, i think the video could have benefited from a warning of this sort.
One shouldn't have to wait months in order for an update to be playable. What an absurd notion.
@@-The-Golden-God- its not even close to months, you just *want* to hate this game
@@-The-Golden-God- Chill out, at least the devs care to keep updating unlike any other studio.
@@-The-Golden-God- if the payoff is free DLC then I ain't complaining
This dudes journey and commentary was awesome lmao makes me want to play
Thanks!
That’s it you’ve convinced me to come back to No Man’s Sky!
Just wait until you're done with the main story, even more content opens up after that. You can easily sink hundreds of hours in the blink of an eye
I’m already touching some of that content now. It’s incredible.
Loved the review, one huge thing that was added with the Echoes update is they added a *huge* graphical upgrade to the PSVR 2 and without exaggeration, the game looks as good as it does on a flat screen, INSIDE the PSVR 2. Everything is so crisp, clear, and HD. It's such a surreal experience to do all of this inside VR while maintaining that gorgeous next-gen look,if you ever get a chance to check it out I know you'll be blown away!
Want to know how they did it they used eye tracking to see we’re your looking and made the areas we’re you weren’t looking blurry
This Looks great, i will check it out. Thanks for the Video
Great vid, loved the send off 😂
I remember hearing about NMS when it first came out. It looked neat but, as many said, empty. Many game devs would've given up. But by keeping with NMS for 7 years, Hello Games has made THE definitive space exploration game. Now I usually wait around for a major update to come out before I play, but I always really enjoy the game when I do play
I wish I could experience this game for the first time again, exploring the worlds and trying to find the perfect place, or the perfect ship, was just amazing.
Or experiencing the story again. It’s a fantastic game.
There are drugs for that . Just make sure you record a message to your future idiot self explaining why their mind is now smooth and why they are sitting before the NMS main menu .
@@SabbaticusRexGo cry in the rain or something man, so negative for no reason. People can enjoy things without letting it be the only thing they do. I hope you become a happier person.
You and gremlingold are bringing major eyes to this amazing game
Thank you sir
Had a lot of desynchronising issues when it came to multiplayer when I played back in 2021 with a friend, ended up being the most fun for us to stream our screens to each other so we could see what the other person was doing on one of our monitors and playing the game on the other while talking to each other through discord.
It's sad that the multiplayer desync is still a huge issue, most missions just break if you're trying to play with friends.
The learning curve has become quite massive, and it doesn't help that the game keeps blasting you with new stuff throughout learning the basics.
It's still a fun time! VR Is great too.
I need to try VR
@@MrSaviorHDif you’re enjoying it as much as it seems like in this video then you REALLY NEED to try VR!
Lots of people (including the guy making this video) bash the tutorial, but really. The tutorial literally walks you through most of basic concepts behind the game, and if you pay attention, you shouldn't feel lost at all. It's when players get in a hurry (like the guy making this video did with the base) is when players miss things. Read all the little popup messages and just do as it asks for the first couple hours. _It's not that bad_ and you'll be on your way before you know it. You can have as many bases as you want, building one on your first planet isn't going to hurt you, in fact, it is probably beneficial to do so because every planet type has a unique resource on it and being able to teleport to whatever kind of planet you started on is a good thing because you will probably eventually want the resources on that planet. Rather than going "shoot, I need a planet that has dioxite (or whatever other resource) on now...", you can just teleport to that starter base you built that was on a planet that featured those resources. In fact, I like to drop little huts with teleporters on one of each planet type so when I need a specific resource, I can teleport to somewhere that has said resource immediately.
@@MrSaviorHDIf you like the game now, you'll want to try VR sooner rather than later. 👌
The No Man's Sky community is also really awesome! They are generally super friendly and helpful! The modding scene is also pretty crazy, lots of people making a whole bunch of software to enhance the NMS experience! 😋
Fancy seeing you here dude!
I love helpful communities that allow games to strive.
This is one of the few games I've ever preordered and I've been playing it since day one and I've always loved it, falling through planets and all. Granted at first I was mostly playing it out of stubbornness because I didn't wanna waste £60 but it's absolutely insane that they're still adding features to this game, it's already above and beyond what was originally promised.
Nice man, thanks for the video
No problem 👍
Okay look ive never played this game before but when you cut to the scene where you were taming and riding glurmp, I literally screamed "YOU CAN RIDE GLURMP?!?! HOW MUCH IS NO MANS SKY?!" paused and opened steam and bought it. Great vid.
Crazy timing.
Just yesterday i loaded up NMS again after what feels an eternity.
Safe to say i didn't know what the hell i was doing, but even just flying through space and checking out new planets was hella fun.
I always return to it, every now and then. The exploration is too much fun, and I discover something new in every session.
Your lucky as hell, that frigate with the lot of engines when you warped into that system looked like a S class frigate. Would have been so dope if you got that.
I got this game about 3 weeks ago and I’m absolutely blow away. There is so much to do, and discovering it all as I play has been amazing.
One of my favorite things about this game is that it's vr compatible, and the worlds, spaceships and everything look incredible and makes even more for to play
I’ve been playing this for 2 weeks now, i thought it would get stale, but Im still discovering so much stuff, figuring out how to get my new objectives to the next new objectives, and i love going to galaxy and finding cool new sentinel ships and sell the ones off that i don’t like and make a-bunch of profit. which gave me so much more freedom to other things. I thought if i became rich here i would just buy the best ships, and call it there, but theres quite alot fun engaging discovery to go on about.
One of the coolest things he didn't mention is you have to learn the language of the specie you're talking to. You have to learn words and slowly over time you understand more and more of a conversation, that's awesome!
I was very addicted to this game when it first came out, I was one of the rare few people who still enjoyed it, came back in 2019 and started a new save and now in 2023 I might do it again! This actually looks so insane since last time I played. There definitely weren't giant worms last time, or crystals in the sky, and I don't remember expeditions at all & base building looks a lot cooler now. I think its great how much time the game devs have put into this game all these years later.
You need to hop back in
yeah same, i was filled with this childlike fantasy of exploration and just being able to fly around space was so relaxing for me
You make me happy to hear this. I'm more than amazed that people keep this game alive.
Hello games is unmatched and was AHEAD of its time for what the game allows you to do.
These are clearly talented developers. For their next game if they set the scope just a little smaller they could make some really high quality stuff
I think if they stick with NMS, they will be able to do what Bungie failed to do with Destiny
they are developing a new game actualy
They have other stuff...
@@CourtJesterCowboy what Joe danger? Lmao I meant something more like no man’s sky
I also just started recently and I completely agree. I was super skeptical when my friend said it was good now. I slogged through the tutorial (which initially turned me away from the game) and noticed the immediate change. Having played Elite for years then leaving, NMS felt fresh but familiar.
This video is perfect ! I haven’t seen a video summarizing the potential content of the game in such a good way for a very long time ! You simply showed your experience as a player discovering the game’s features and shared your emotions while narrating your adventures in a passionate way ! Showing us what we can expect as a new player, this is what I was searching for. Congrats !
Thanks!
