No Man's Sky: Game Changer for All Games

It's been a minute hasn't friends. Back to the game that will change the video gaming world: No Man's Sky.  I have to admit, I enjoy the heck out of this game.  There is so much to do and explore here that you can invest in this game for years.  From the beginning you are presented with the challenge of resolving the crisis of repairing your crashed star ship on an unknown planet.  You have to scan the planet's surface to find the resources you need repair your life suit and flight equipment. After you are back on your feet and your ship fully healed, you can begin your journey of space exploration.

This is where the fun begins.  Each planet you explore has different wildlife, resources, hostiles and condition that you must conquer to survive and thrive.  The one aspect about this game that I love and others hate is the sentinels.  Sentinels serve as ethics police for the game.  Sentinels will detain you if you over-mine resources or attack innocent creatures of the planets.  Sentinels serve as a motivator to make you respect the planet and only take what you need not over-mine your business for greed.

Once you begin your space journey you will encounter star wars in which you must take a side, galactic pirates, adventures to follow the path of Atlas or navigate your way to the center of the universe.  It's all good fun that really adds depth to the storyline and challenges your journey by choices which have results.

I found the ground game to be the best challenge.  Other than the sentinels, you may be attacked by animals and plants. Also, I like how you get to meet different races and you are challenged to understand their culture by learning languages and special items to increase you standing with their alliance.  The more you increase your standing with each diverse race the better your experience and rewards will be with the game.  I like how developers tried to foster cultural learning and diversity for gamers.

I am still learning all the aspects of the game and best way to play since it's new an unknown but so far I am giving it a 10 out of 10. The game treats me right, and makes me want to come back and play to learn and grow.
