\nNo Man’s Sky has had a very strong redemption story. Originally released six years ago to widespread criticism over missing features, overblown promises, and barren content, the game has since expanded massively – delivering a transformed experience. Nowadays, it’s an acclaimed sandbox title, with a wealth of customisation and base-building potential… which brings us to the new Switch release.<\/p>\n

Unlike the original PS4 version, expectations must be properly calibrated here, as developer Hello Games has admitted to cutting two key features – multiplayer and settlements – at least for this initial release. Early footage hasn’t seemed particularly impressive either, but the prospect of a virtually infinite universe in the palm of your hand might be enough to offset that. So is this a worthy port? Or is No Man’s Sky just ‘too big’ for Nintendo’s hybrid console?\n<\/p>\n

No Man’s Sky is a fascinating and unique title. Fundamentally, most of what you see is based on procedural generation – the world geometry, weather, flora and fauna, and texturing are largely generated in real-time according to a preset seed code. Some elements do repeat, like patches of textures, or certain objects or body parts, but there’s a surprising amount of variety here. That technology is used to create a highly open-ended sandbox. The curated content is fairly limited, but players can travel the stars, build massive bases, catalogue new species and planets, or tear apart the deformable voxel-based planetary terrain. No Man’s Sky isn’t a hardcore space sim, by any means, but it’s far more tactile, approachable, and immediately engaging than games like Elite and Eve Online.\n<\/p>\n
