No Man’s Sky is arguably the biggest game ever released in terms of the sheer scale it offers to players. However, after exploring dozens upon dozens of planets we began to ponder what other games could quench that exploration itch, especially if No Man’s Sky isn’t exactly the game for you.

No Man’s Sky isn’t just about exploration, although that is a heavy part of the gameplay, but leaving your mark on the world for others to see. It’s about a sense of being overwhelmed by the sheer size of the world you have to explore and the fear that comes with travelling into the unknown.
