Best Ongoing Support & Development 2020
Second Runner-Up: No Man’s Sky
Editor-in-Chief: Ed McGlone: No Man’s Sky, alongside Final Fantasy XIV, is without a doubt among the biggest and best comeback stories in all of modern gaming.
Believed to be a total disaster at launch, Hello Games has turned it around so well through consistently great free updates that it’s now the belle of the ball.
Notably in 2020 the most recent mega-update, Origins, released and it has once again been a massive game changer for No Man’s Sky.
The universe was overhauled to allow new unique looking planets, star systems (dual-stars), fauna, weather effects, richer color, and terrain. It made what was already a game filled with so many possibilities even more diversified. This is all on top of a long list of quality of life enhancements too.
No Man’s Sky has not only became the game it had the potential to be, but through excellent ongoing support, has exceeded those initial lofty expectations.
