No Man’s Sky
To say that No Man’s Sky initial launch was a disaster would be an understatement. For a while, after the game came out, there was a lot of talk about how disappointing the game was. It took Sean Murray and his team at Hello Games over two years to finally speak to the media about what happened at launch and the current state of the game. Through a couple of updates, Hello Games managed to win back some of its player base and provide possibly the best redemption story of 2018.
The most recent update for No Man’s Sky, called Next, is a major overhaul adding multiplayer, character customization, command Freighters, and more. Players can now team up with strangers or friends to explore, build bases, and dogfight together. The new character customization allows players to choose different avatars so they can have the appearance that they want. Hello Games has added more story-based content through missions that are used to teach players how to play this new updated version of the game. There’s so much content to dive into now, and the game even looks better visually. Multiplayer adds new depth to the gameplay, and is certainly worth checking out now.
