It may not prove the most successful game in terms of sales, but it has generated the most interest and potential to offer something different to a mass gaming audience. Announced in December 2013, the ambitious work of a small Guildford-based team instantly got people extremely excited. Promising so much but keeping the details close to its chest, the wait for No Man’s Sky has been long and arduous for fans – who have regularly had to ask a particular question: what is No Man’s Sky?
No Man’s Sky early impressions: A daunting but thrilling start to a galactic adventure
It’s strange actually playing No Man’s Sky after what’s felt like an eternity of build-up. Strange, that is until you break through the atmosphere of the first procedurally generated planet your faceless, nameless explorer has crash-landed on. Then, there’s that thrill: the same thrill thousands of people experienced watching Hello Games’ ambitious sci-fi debut two and a half years ago. Up until that point, No Man’s Sky is slow, even a bit of a slog. Unable to fly, the player has to walk and run across an alien landscape, searching for the requisite minerals to get their ship going again. Of course, given each player will start on a different planet, some may fly through this initial test, but others will not.
