No Man’s Sky
Don’t get us wrong, No Man’s Sky has a very interesting premise and is possibly one of the most ambitious projects out there. However, it’s huge universe of sprawling planets does not guarantee its success as a great game. No Man’s Sky’s procedurally-generated universe may be one of the largest things we’ll ever get to explore, but with this massive scale comes a high chance that the interesting bits can get lost in a sea of mediocrity and monotony.
How many of the planets will have anything interesting to them? And how much variation is there in the universe? We’ve only seen a small amount of gameplay footage and nobody has yet been able to get enough hands-on time with the game to answer these questions.
If the universe of No Man’s Sky has only great moments littered in a sea of dull planets that have nothing of interest, it’s uncertain what else can keep players interested in the game. The shroud of mystery that keeps No Man’s Sky so intriguing to many players could also end up being its downfall.
