10 Broken Video Games Finally Ready To Play

1. No Man's Sky

Battlefront 2
Hello Games

Every once in awhile a game comes around that manages to flame out in such a spectacular fashion that you actually start to feel sorry for bagging on it. No Man's Sky is one of these games, as upon release it was broken in a plethora of ways that made the overall experience as fun as throwing around a baseball made of spikes. That’s right, no fun at all.

What might be even worse is that the studio behind No Man's Sky, Hello Games, made some huge promises before launch, with founder Sean Murray doing many interviews promising players all kind of features, like multiplayer. Soon after the release though, players noticed many of the key selling points weren't there. The silence from Hello Games was deafening and people quickly forgot about one of the biggest broken messes of the past few years.

However, this isn't where No Man's Sky’s story ends. After months of silence, Murray spoke out about the release and how Hello Games planned to fix the game. The developers worked tirelessly on multiple updates to improve their broken product. Then came the Foundation Update that improved the game in a major way and delivered on some of the promises made by Murray, followed by subsequent updates that managed to turn the story around. No Man's Sky launched as a joke but has managed to become quite fun to play with some friends or even in VR.
