14. No Man's Sky
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=alMpGcSc1YY The answer to "So just what do you
do?" in No Man's Sky has finally been answered... "Everything". Okay so you can't play as a cat and ride a horse into battle whilst firing a golden Desert Eagle (seriously,
that was a thing), but creative lead Sean Murray emerged on Sony's stage to show off some gorgeously-coloured space combat, interplanetary discoveries that see you bombing about between entire solar systems - and most importantly, nailing down the core purpose behind the lot; to get to the centre of the galaxy. From hijacking trade routes, exploring every direction you possibly can, base building and dogfighting with other players, you'll be forever cataloguing your findings and funding better FTL warp drives with which to deep-dive closer to the aforementioned goal. What will you find there? Just how much fun will you have discovering your own corner of the galaxy replete with wildlife no one's seen, and will it hold your attention for more than a few hours? All signs point to "Hell yes!" as even the game's creator was amazed at what creatures their randomly-generating world-tech was spitting out. It truly is a remarkable achievement for game design, and one that'll be pretty mind-blowing to comprehend once we get hands on a final version. If "Space, the final frontier", the hum of a lightsaber or the word '
Biotic' makes you go all warm n' fuzzy inside - this one's for you.
