An absolute blast to play, grab your friends and go mining. Even running solo is fun with Bosco.

The very definition of a comeback.
This game is one of my most recommended, and its come a long way since all of the bad press on release day.
Honestly, give it a shot.
The main story is much more coherent and has a solid amount of direction, as do the side stories, however they are short lived and after that its very much a make your own fun game.
The Community Expeditions are incredible so far, and personally, have shown aspects of the game that I never focused on before.
No Mans Sky can be as difficult or as chill as you want, which is an incredible strength, make a save for whatever you're feeling at the time.
I may not play NMS often anymore, but its a game I'll always have installed, and will always return to from time to time.

An awesome fifth installment to a legendary series. I heartily recommend this game if you enjoy exploration, in depth missions, and an exciting huge open world.
The game can also be expanded hugely upon with the additions from the modding community.
