During this pandemic, it is hard to beat boredom. Yes, watching TV, streaming to songs, and browsing the internet can help. But doing them repetitively can be dull and no longer interesting for me.

Luckily, I found a fascinating game like No Man’s Sky. At first, I was hesitant to give it a shot. But as days pass by, I find why it is one of the best games ever developed by men today.

What is No Man’s Sky?

You’re probably wondering what No Man’s Sky is. Well, it is an exploration survival game provided by Hello Games. Released in 2016, No Man’s Sky has been gaining a massive popularity in different corners of the world. The variety of gameplay, including exploration, combat, survival, and trading, makes it a fully-packed game for beginners and even advanced players out there.

What do I like About No Man’s Sky?

The Space is Endless

I was a bit shocked when I found that No Man’s Sky has an infinitely explorable universe. Packed with traversable planets, there are many things to expect in this game. Although you can visit a single planet for a second, it would take billions of years to explore them all. Well, it’s not how many planets you visited. What matters the most is how you relish every minute in No Man’s Sky.

Space Ships are Easy to Customize

Another thing I really love about No Man’s Sky is its customizable space ships. I could craft a spaceship with speed, jump drive range, maneuverability, and weapon power I want.

This, however, may be a little difficult than you imagine. To buy ships from the shop, it is important to find resources on every planet to raise your money.

What will you do when your ship is wrecked, and you don’t have enough resources to buy anew? Simply, every player is given a stock ship to start again. Since it doesn’t have hyperdrive fuel, spend time exploring all available planets. Then, be careful not to allow someone to destroy your ship during your exploration.

Space Combat

Whether you’re out of fuel or resources, you need to explore as many planets as you can. But don’t forget that there’s no peaceful exploration along the way. If you have enough resources to customize your ships, try to avoid any space combat. If you are in a situation where you need to fight, give your all to protect your ship. So, plan out everything to avoid any regrets at the end of the day.

The Economy is Robust and Strong

The space at No Man’s Sky is big, without a doubt. For that reason, there are ways you can look into available resources to the next level. While others recommend every player to trade resources at posts, don’t underestimate the advantage of uploading discoveries and shooting down space pirates. It is also useful to find trade routes to make a good profit.

Build a Base

Another thing I also enjoy about No Man’s Sky is the freedom to build a base. You may do similarly when you fall in love with a planet. While it requires many resources, a strong base is worth the cost.

The View is Fantastic

Unlike the older version of No Man’s Sky, the updated game is full of full volumetric cloud formations that could bring you into a different world. Particularly, there are crepuscular light rays you would find mesmerizing. More than the planets, the landscapes are superb.
