First impressions of No Man's Sky:
Honestly alot more fun than I thought. Now to get things out of their way first, if you thought the game to be anything other than a survival, exploration and trade game in space you have been misled. In terms of gameplay it's pretty much Subnautica in space but with a few more gameplay mechanics and a slightly bigger map.
As I said it's fun and easy to get into. You find and collect minerals, resources, artifacts, floras on planets which you then can sell, trade, use as fuel, energy for tools and weapons, new blueprints or repair broken things.
I spent the first 3 hours just exploring the planet I spawned on before I went to space, it's really addictive. People complained about the game being grindy, if running around mining for minerals and collecting as much stuff as possible in order to use a blueprint or re-fuel your ship for example considered a grind then yes but to me that's a part of the survival aspect of the game.
The game runs pretty good on my pc and unlike the consoles that caps at 30fps you have the ability to increase the fps cap to 60 or 90fps depending on your hardware. You can also change the FOV which I heard they caped to 40 something on consoles however i'm not sure it actually works though, couldn't say it made a huge diffrence. I must test that some more.
The best part of No Man's Sky is that the ride from planet surface to space is so smooth, once in space you just aim towards the nearest planet or station and either travel in 3 diffrent speeds or use warp drive depending on the distance.
The amount of options for exploration is limitless, it's pretty mindblowing.
If you like exploration, collecting and trading in space then it's a really fun indie game.
