You Can Go Your Own Way
You can, if you so choose, ignore everything that Hello Games has put in place to guide you through No Man’s Sky seemingly infinite universe. Why follow a path towards the center when you see an odd looking sun looming to the east? That’s part of the beauty of No Man’s Sky. You can go wherever you want, provided that you have the time to figure out how to get there.
Each galaxy is filled to the brim with new species, geography, and lore for you to take in. You may find yourself on a beach in one moment, only to end up in an irradiated wasteland that would make Fallout 4 blush. There’s something about sailing the stars all alone that is oddly serene, and sticking to a path that you forge all on your own is what exploration is truly about.
Of course, you can always jump back and head towards the center of the universe if you want, or decide on an entirely different path. The choice is truly yours.
