Gameplay
No Man’s Sky’s gameplay revolves almost solely around exploring the huge universe that awaits you. While there are times when you’ll have to pull out a gun or fire up your ship cannons, these are few and far between. The bulk of the time you spend with No Man’s Sky will instead focus on you checking out planets, searching for resources, talking with aliens, and upgrading your equipment to help you on your way to the center of the galaxy.
It should be noted, however, that many of these features aren’t as straightforward as they may initially seem. For example, upgrading your equipment requires you to not only find the resources while defending yourself from any nearby Sentinels intent on protecting the universe, but to find the necessary blueprint too. This in itself can mean a quest to a distant planet in order to pick it up. The same can be said for speaking with aliens. Hello Games has added an extra level of depth into interacting with different sentient species by requiring you to learn words of their language from relics found dotted across the universe. The more words you learn, the more you’ll understand of your interactions. As you can see, even the simplest task can lead to an epic adventure across the galaxy.
