No Man's Sky Reviews: 10 Early Reactions You Need To Know

1. There's Next To No Tutorialisation

"Some [Resources] recharge the energy of your weapons (Isotopes), some boost shields (Oxides), others can be used to craft items. The thing is, I’m not being told any of this; I’m learning as I go [...] No Man’s Sky is about discovery, experiential learning. Instead of a drip-feed of skills and rewards, it's a gradual unlocking of information. From the various species to the strange alien language, everything has to be discovered." - Brett Phipps, TrustedReviews.

Hopefully you've been playing Pokémon GO recently, because that's another game that managed to amass a sizeable community of tips n' tricks traders, simply because in itself, there was almost zero help and guidance.

No Man's Sky's want to instil the notion of survival in you from the get-go, feeling like the game opens with the "What do you do in No Man's Sky?!" adage that's dogged the game since its first reveal footage.

The answer to that question? Survive and explore. Figure things out yourself, Dark Souls (Pokémon GO?)-style, and therein lies a far more everlasting reward.
