Yeah, I had a lot of hype - and then I watched all the reviews and the broken promises - so I said, nah. But the criticism did what the AAA companies USED to do in the face of adversity: adapt and fix things, quickly!

It used to be that game companies whole existence relied on their next launch - where if people didn't buy it, you were nearly done. When you have so much money that you don't have to care what the customer thinks (which is basically the point we are at now) the product and community suffer.

I'm proud of them for fixing this game, I always wanted it to be good - it's still super cheap and like you said free DLC - so I would say in the end, No Man's Sky seems to have won :D

So how good it the base building? Is it MINECRAFT good, is it Fallout 4 good - or just... Rust/The Forest type good?

Thanks for the awesome review and the post man, I think I'm going to have to pick this up for PC, maybe I'll see you in the stars, brother!

Have you played Subnautica? It's a lot like that, placing base structures that snap together and then decorating/adding plants and things. Plants can be grown to generate resources. There is a quest line regarding base building too.

At first you could only make bases at designated locations you would have to find. Now you can build basically anywhere (I've seen underwater bases and bases that look like they are in low orbit, but its just really high up).

You can also get a freighter which then allows you to have more than one starship (park them in the freighter). The frighter can also hold a base and can be summoned in space wherever you go.

Teleporters let you return to your bases from other star systems so you can keep exploring while being able to return to a planet or base you really like.
