10 Incredible Singleplayer Features You Can Only Unlock By Playing Multiplayer
5. Discoveries Of Discoveries - No Man's Sky
Ever since its disastrous launch, No Man's Sky has been making amends for its jarringly empty galaxy with continuous updates that fill it up with some much-needed content.
In fact, one of the updates made it so that the other players could add things to your galaxy.
Although No Man's Sky features a proper multiplayer mode now, you can still play the game entirely by yourself. This said, if you do so while staying connected to the internet, you might find out that you're not alone in the world, after all.
With online features on, other players can leave an impact on your randomly generated world by visiting planets in their own save files and making discoveries there. The names they give to newly found creatures and landmarks will appear to you when you come across them in your world, and the game can even register changes they make to the environment.
The feature is pretty minor, but it definitely makes exploration feel more immersive as you find traces of other players and realize you're not the only explorer in the universe.
It can also help with speeding up the exploration process on your end, since you don't have to do everything yourself!
