*deflects incoming spear*

There's nothing left to say about how No Man's Sky launched - in fact, it might be the single-most disastrous and most negative game launch in history.

However, firstly, it just wasn't anywhere near as bad as people were saying (the procedurally-generated universe was pretty epic to explore) and second, The Foundation Update that added base-building, quests, a revamped graphics engine and purchasable freighters to bomb around in, adds almost every last thing developer Sean Murray lied about that was missing at launch.

From the brilliantly harsh and immersive Survival Mode to dogfighting between asteroids, mining for better suit components or just seeing what the game's algorithms throw your way, No Man's Sky has a ton to offer... if you'll only give it a chance.
