No Man’s Sky Re-Review (2023): Has It Finally Reached The Stars?
After years of updates and endless improvements, we re-review and re-score No Man’s Sky seven years on from its release.
Between finding new animals andexploring the planet, the gameplay loop was reminiscent ofNo Man’s Sky,at least until the combat kicked in.
