Promised updates should only make the game even better. If you have been following the development of this game, you would've known what to expect. I did and the game delivers in just about every way.

No game, film, book or otherwise has been more effectively in capturing what the experience of exploring the universe must be. Lonely, hostile and unforgiving, Hello Game’s effort works so hard to reject the convention on how games are made that it’s easy to understand why people expecting something more traditional might come away disappointed.

So, I originally bought this game in 2016 thinking it wasn't all hype. Unfortunately, at the time, it was. Now, fast forward nearly 6 yearsSo, I originally bought this game in 2016 thinking it wasn't all hype. Unfortunately, at the time, it was. Now, fast forward nearly 6 years and this game is absolutely all THRILLER and ZERO FILLER. Sean Murray and the amazing team at Hello Games have accomplished what feels like, the impossible. Welcome to the Interstellar Sandbox! With 18 *FREE* major content updates, the latest being incredible all by its wee self, this game delivers. And delivers and delivers. In fact, it has changed and improved so much since it's release, that any reviews written before 2019 are totally and completely misrepresenting what this game is today. When I first bought it, I played for roughly 5 hours and after one massively disappointing experience, I put the game away, for what I thought would be forever. However, mid 2021 I started reading that NMS had changed drastically. Without reading further in to it, I decided to give it another look.That look turned into approximately 500 hours of playtime and platinum trophies on both PS4 and PS5. I couldn't believe how much content had been packed in this game. So much so, that there were times I'd just zone out while playing, trying to comprehend how this game was capable of doing what it was doing, and how it was possible. (Didn't figure much out, but that's okay because I don't work there) Audio - 40/42Video - 42/42 (Next generation is gorgeous) Controls:Ship - 42/42Rover - 20/42On foot - 38/42 Terraforming - 36/42Exploration - 42/42Travel and Accommodations- 42/42Base Building - A million. (Thanks to an orbital construction camera for easier piece placement and a large selection of parts to build with) Questing - Repetitive in a lot of aspects, but it's almost a secondary function of the game after a point. For what this game is and then became and for how much I got out of this game, I'm rating it at %100. Take that with a grain of salt if you like, but if you like space exploration and sandboxing, you're gonna freaking love this game. Cheers!

Finally, they delivered what we always wanted. A true procedural game, a true experience, multiplayer and a vast universe to explore. ImprovedFinally, they delivered what we always wanted. A true procedural game, a true experience, multiplayer and a vast universe to explore. Improved as hell, this game now deserves this rating. CD Projekt Red, learn from these guys, they screwed up, but like a phoenix, they raised from the ashes, from the hate and gave us this promised game. Better late than never.
