10 Reasons No Man’s Sky Is Finally Worth Playing
3. Portals
More than a year ago, portals were something promoted to be included in the game; however players were disappointed to find them idle and inactive. With the Atlas Rises update (a year after launch) portals have finally become more than just landmarks to include in your photo sessions.
They are now able to be activated and used by imputing specific combinations of glyphs that will allow you to jump to locations all across the universe a la the Stargate franchise.
Discover and share combinations with other travelers to arrange galactic meeting spots, or randomly ‘spin the wheel’ and step through the portal to reveal a new world that could be across the universe from where you entered. Adding another form of fast travel to help players experience as much of this vast universe as possible.
Fulfilling the pre-release promise of Portals was a vital step back on the road to redemption for No Man's Sky.
