Crafting Isn’t For Everyone

A very big part of what makes No Man’s Sky work is the ability for players to gather elements and craft their way off the planet, to better tools and suits and to their fortune. If you are not a fan of survival games that rely on building and crafting, then Hello Games’ latest is certainly not the title for you.

It’s almost as though the developers knew players were going to want to just fly back and forth through the universe and needed a way to slow them down. Without many other people to interact with, the only real way to make sure players aren’t just constantly landing, spending a few minutes on a planet and taking off, is to make it, so they have to gather things to keep their ship, suit, or tool fueled.

This has become the major point of the game, and that’s going to turn off people who are looking to have a bit more to do than find the right element at the right time. Instead of real action, players have to blast plants and rocks to collect these items. That gets pretty old after a while.
