ProfessorHatch No Man's Sky Review
Dec 4, 2024
Ah, No Man's Sky, the game that promised us the universe and initially delivered a glorified rock-collecting simulator. Hello Games boldly went where no developer had gone before: straight into the pit of overhyped disappointment. But wait! Like a phoenix rising from the ashes of broken promises, No Man's Sky has evolved into a game that's actually... dare I say it... fun?
Imagine a universe where you can name planets after your ex and creatures after your favorite pizza toppings. It's like being a G O D, if G O D were really into mining ferrite dust and carbon. The game now boasts features like base-building, multiplayer, and space pirates, because nothing says "immersive space experience" like getting mugged in the void.
Sure, you might find yourself questioning your life choices as you spend hours searching for that perfect shade of blue grass on your 18 quintillionth planet. But hey, at least you're not stuck in traffic, right?
Pros:
• Infinite planets to get bored on
• Naming rights to creatures no one will ever see
• Unrivaled expertise in resource management (a.k.a. inventory Tetris)
Cons:
• May cause existential crises
• Side effects include chronic wanderlust and ferrite dust addiction
• Your real-life plants might die while you water virtual ones
