Is No Man’s Sky a good game after all the updates and fixing and adding all the stuff they promised?
I love space stuff but am not the biggest fan of Minecraft style crafting/mining. I don’t mind it in Stardew and factory games are a favorite genre of mine, for reference. Basically I like the mechanics but it matters how they are implemented.
I’ve been trying to find a game that I can just turn my brain off and chill after a long day and right now Stardew is starting to get a bit stale(or I’m just dreading winter since there isn’t much to do).
The game looks beautiful and I did spend maybe 100 hours on Starbound, which is like 2D NMS I think, but even on sale, it’s at the upper limit I’d like to spend.
The other game is Hyperlight Drifter and it’s $6 right now so I’m probably gonna get that one regardless.
Edit: I went ahead and grabbed it. I think my kid will also enjoy watching me play it.
So basically a pure sandbox then? That’s sort of what I was gathering when reading up on it.
There some “main quest” stuff too, but you can mostly ignore it.
I have 200 hours in the game. I just started a new save this week where I’m trying to stay on topic. It’s been pretty okay so far!
Oh I forgot: there are also Expeditions. Those are much more guided modes of play, but time limited.
