Everytime a new AAA game comes out, NMS comes out with a AAA update that just sweeps the floor. TOO GOOD.

Revamped procedurally generated space stations, FINALLY customizing your own ship (by getting parts from broken or scavenged ships)

I just keeps getting better. The story telling of the expeditions are simple but keep you hooked. It always adds a new feel to the game. And now, theyve found a way to integrate it into a single save.

All the worlds that people have made in this game are vast and unique. All because a small video game studio decided to do the most amazing thing -- give what gamers want.

I have no words. Expectations have been exceeded and VIDEO GAME STANDARDS AS WELL. I have yet to see how much more improvement this game can make in another year. wow. Amazing work Hello Games. Truly.

I play this with my son now. The ships get so much more beautiful. The option to melt down ships you dont use for money to buy better ships are there. So many more quality of life updates and planets and animals are so much more diverse.

The expeditions are always refreshing as not only do they add to the lore of the game but they also refresh the way you play. I freakin hated and loved the expedition where you had to die multiple times to advance in the story. That was bloody genius.

The game just keeps getting better.

Still the most ridiculous video game come back ever. I love you Hello Games. I love you No Mans Sky.

Hello Game's baby keeps on growing. More things are being added at no cost to use and the game keeps getting bigger and bigger.

All because they listen to their players.

It took time but if you look at the game and how much can be done...its amazing.

Everything was broken initially...but it was fixed...and it was made better..and better.

Kudos to listening to your players, Hello Games. ;)

its insane the amount of work put into this game. Expectations continue to be exceeded and more things keep coming.

This is dedication.

Hello games deserves more than just praise.

I find myself always coming back to this game.

it just keeps getting better and better

After the long silence, they have come back. Added a lot of content and fixed a lot of things. This game is nice and has a lot of potential. I hope they tap in to that potential and bring out the best in this.

This game is beautiful, no doubt about it. The prospect of searching endlessly for new planets and new life is amazing.

But that in itself is its limitation.

I have spent 24 hours playing this game, hoping to find a spark, a story, something that would twist the plot...but nothing.

You basically go to a planet, mine, discover lifeforms, discover artifacts and jump to another planet.

Its a loop I did not see coming. The thrill from the teasers we got before the game was released was all a lie.

The life forms you see on the planets are just animal parts randomly mashed together to create life and all the planets are, well, barren.

What ever happened to civilization? Regardless of how vast the universe can be in this game, if all you do is the same thing, it becomes nothing. Sure you can travel to the center of the universe because Atlas tells you to...then what?

This game had so much potential and now its dead. Its producers silent. And hope that this game will change, gone along with everyone else.
