Description

No Man’s Sky for PC is an action-adventure survival game in which the player takes the form of a crash-landed alien humanoid who is supplied with the basics of what he or she needs to survive and even thrive. Equipped with a multi-tool, the player can follow the on-screen advice from an entity named Atlas.

This advice leads the players on a pre-set course, giving them plenty of opportunities to mine for resources, battle or trade and team up with fellow players or aliens (the latter are generated by the servers’ algorithms as needed, much like the more distant parts of the cosmos).

But the best way to play is to head off on your own, building the ships and carriers you need to continue your journey as when you need them. See how far you can travel: trading, mining and fighting as you go.

About the Game


When released in 2016, the game was hailed as something unique and wonderful, though critics complained because many of the promised features were not present. However, the developers have made good on those promises since that first release and those promised features, such as multi player capability, extra building features, etc, are now available.

The game operates largely using algorithms that ‘create’ the world just ahead of the player’s progress. This is called progression generation and it is a positive because it uses fewer resources than maintaining a fixed world would.

If players travel to the same place at the same time, they will see the same features and colonies. This makes gameplay more authentic, while keeping the data usage relatively low.

New Details


The developers, a company called Hello Games, have worked hard to bring the game up to its original promise with regular updates that make the game more exciting, immersive and fun for all players.

Multiplayer functionality was the main feature that gamers wanted and this was included in the first major update, shortly after the launch. Improved building enables players to make their home base unique to their own preferences: having an ideal home to protect is a good way for players to feel invested in the game.

The developers continue to release updates regularly so you will always have something new and exciting to look forward to. They have learned from the errors of the past, and now only announce the new features once they are sure that they are player ready.

Ways to Play


The game is predominantly a world-building exploration game, with enough interesting missions to keep interest high. Players can choose their level of difficulty so they can simply explore the beautifully depicted space. There are different methods of play to choose, depending on what the player prefers:

  • Exploration: The default setting. You take on the character of a crash-landed humanoid alien and set about ensuring your survival and exit from the planet on which you have crash-landed. You are encouraged to use the multi-tool, that all players have as standard, to mine for resources which you then craft into protective gear and transport.

  • Survival: This is similar to standard gameplay but with much higher difficulty so if you like maximum excitement and challenge in your gaming this is the mode for you as you will be subject to more hostile attacks and more combat situations than otherwise.

  • Combat: Full-on battles from the beginning to the end. These usually slot into the player’s exploration, with battles being more prevalent when this mode is chosen.

  • Trading: This mode of play relies more on diplomacy and making deals with the aliens that you come across as you explore the worlds. It is not as easy as it sounds, however, the aliens speak languages which you must work to understand by gathering ‘Rosetta stones’ that will help with translations. Misunderstandings can cause friction!

  • Multiplayer: Up to 16 players can team up to explore new areas of the map and friends can track each other on the map.


  • Endgame


    Play through all the various modes in the format that suits your playing style best, enjoying the beautiful vastness of space and the exquisite landscapes as you travel between planets and settlements to raid, trade and explore the cosmos.

    No Man’s Sky for PC is available for purchase on Instant Gaming for a fraction of its retail price. You will receive an official key and be able to play the game in seconds. Play smart. Pay less.

    Everything Starfield wants to be. The devs actually care, there are frequent updates, there's online and local multiplayer, the gameplay is fun and you'll never run out of things to do, and after days of playing I'm still finding new content I haven't seen before.

    TL:DR- Don't buy Starfield, buy this instead.

    Really fun game most of the times. It gives you a chance to explore unbelievable amount of planets, solo or with friends. It does need improvements tho, like planets should be a lot more diverse, after some time you have a feeling that most of the planets are the same and the differences between planet sizes are not noticable enough, I would go far as to say that size differences are not noticable at all at first glance. But still, definitelly worth trying.
    • Huge open-world
    • Relatively cheap
    • After some time, it becomes monotonous and a bit boring
    • Lack of diverse between planets and alien species

    I've bought this game on 4 different devices, should say enough about how much I enjoy this game. You get to travel through space, which is already fun as it is with shooting mechanics, but you can land on brand new planets, find new creatures, improve your ship(s), and there are funny npcs you can interact with. It really draws you in.
    • Fun

    Very beautiful game, the best out there if you like space exploration. I love how you can sit on your chair chilling for hours and never get bored, if you have a friend or two it's also better. You should try it because it's not possible to fully describe it with words

    I recently watched Guardians of the Galaxy 3 and craved a space exploration game and then I remembered this grat game.

    This game is mainly exploration, crafting, building, a bit of combat, but not the main point. The story is charming in the sense that it doesn't need to be rushed. Exploration feels natural and you can even tame creature to get their produce like milk. With the new update, you can even create crops! You can also ride creatures!

    Not only in a planet, but you can go to other galaxies, meet aliens and learn their language! Missions to deliver goods, kill creatures and etc.

    The developers are working hard and the DLCs have been free so far!

    In conclusion, this game is fantastic for all those people who crave for a space adventure with a very chill journey. So grab snacks, get comfy and prepare for a beautiful journey at your own pace!

    This game is amazing. Don't know how it was when it first got on screens, but is amazing now. You can easily get lost for hours wandering in space, from a planet to another. Totally recommended!
    • So much to discover

    No Man’s Sky doesn’t work on my PC, despite having an i7-8700K processor and an RTX 4070 GPU, which fully meet the system requirements. I followed all the official guides, updated drivers, and even updated the BIOS, but the game still won’t launch. Extremely disappointing for a game of this scale.
