20 Great Games That Still Get Unjustified Hate
11. No Man's Sky
The reputation of No Man’s Sky, the infamous open-world survival game, has been steadily increasing over the years, but there are still people who live with the hate that the game suffered during its catastrophic 2016 launch.
For those somehow not in the loop, No Man’s Sky was last decade’s most disastrous launch (really makes you feel old, doesn’t it?). After years of the internet getting hyped for all of the groundbreaking features that the game would add to make its space exploration feel virtually limitless, the game came out with poor procedurally generated planets and next to nothing to do on them.
For years, the mass disappointment stuck to No Man’s Sky, but the studio behind it kept working on the game, and these days, it’s actually beginning to live up to the past expectations.
The worlds feel more vibrant and have civilized outposts on them, making them a lot more fun to explore, and the game features an excellent multiplayer mode with playable races and an in-depth economy, making it perfect for traversing the galaxy with your friends.
It’s the kind of glow-up that will make even the biggest hater want to sink hours into the game.
