REVIEW SUMMARY
No Man's Sky
6.5
A Beautiful Sci-Fi Novel That's All Cover, No Book
'No Man's Sky' is a space exploration game unlike any other, for better and worse. It's a sci-fi adventure game that feels like classic sci-fi novel covers. Too bad it's missing so many chapters.
- A massive universe to explore
- Cool alien races
- A brilliant showcase of procedural technology
- Not much to do beyond resource collection
- Alien interactions are fairly meaningless
- Not as unique as originally advertised.
