Menus
Hello Games must have really liked how it felt to change weapons and use items in Destiny, because the menu system in No Man’s Sky is almost identical. The Circular cursor that fills up as you select an item, the clean squares that represent each item, upgrade and resource, and the pop-up information screens are all reminiscent of Bungie’s shared-world shooter.
To be honest, we don’t even blame the developers for implementing this system. It works very well in No Man’s Sky, and the clean aesthetic of all the boxes fit the over all look and feel of the game. It’s very…technical, for lack of a better word. You’re out there exploring and discovering, and every now and then you need to craft or examine inventory. The simple menus help it all flow as you focus on bigger things like making sure that Sentinel doesn’t notice you breaking into a factory.
