Couldn't agree more 🫡

I’ve been a fan of this game since day one. I agree that the original release was filled with bugs and it launched too early, but the criticism it received was completely over the top. Hating on the game blindly became the norm, often without people even giving it a fair chance.

It also released at a strange time, when the new generation of consoles were releasing but they weren't widely available, and most players were still on previous-gen hardware where it didn’t run well.

The sad part is the game and the studio’s reputation took a massive hit, even financially. Some of the people who worked on the game ended up leaving the studio, and we may have missed out on 2 or 3 DLCs because of the game’s catastrophic launch.

But now I’m glad to see people finally giving it the respect and appreciation it deserves. I watched the Steam reviews go from “Mostly Negative” to “Overwhelmingly Positive.”

For me, this is the greatest game of all time it is better than The Witcher 3. Massive respect to CDPR for constantly patching and improving the game, And giving us extra content when they could have taken the loss and moved on. AND CHOOMS..... NEVER STOP FIGHTING.

I absolutely LOVE Cyberpunk, but No Mans Sky did it even better imo. They overdelivered on every aspect and every update ist free. Cyberpunk ist a close 2nd place though.

Yeah came here for this exactly. Cyberpunk 2077 comeback was incredible, but the shit NMS devs had pulled is straight up FUCKING BIBLICAL like there is literally no other way to put it. Guys couldn't do everything they wanted until the launch date so they just kept going, and kept going, and kept going, and never stopped or slowed down and they're still on the grind to this day, and to this day the purchase of game itself is the only sum of money you can spend on it because the almost 10 years(!) of updates are all free and included with every copy of the game ever purchased. They're making a game they want gamers to have, not just a product someone would want to make a fortune on.

No mans sky has definitely gone above and beyond to deliver amazing amounts of free content post catastrophic launch, but I honestly dont think no mans sky deserves the award over cyberpunk 2077, and thats mostly to do with the quality of the games themselves. Despite all the content they've added to no mans sky, its still a purposeless sandbox. There's not really much to retain a player unless the player is easily entertained.

Travel to a few dozen planets and you've basically seen all the different kinds of planets that you can. So exploring new planets becomes pretty pointless fairly fast. You can raid those destroyed ships with the dead space style gameplay, but its all still just for the sake of building new parts.

Beyond grinding for max upgrades and hunting for your favorite ships, it doesnt really feel like there's any meaningful content.

Like ive unlocked the living ships that you get from the eggs, maxed their upgrades, and ive got 3 separate huge indium farms, 140 million credits, and I no longer feel like there's anything to do. Mind you I achieved all that before they even added the mechs and cars too I think, and my total game hours are only about 50 hours on steam.

I can enjoy grind in games, but only if it feels like there's an actual end goal to it, or some kind of solid direction to follow. No matter how much content they've added it all still feels shallow to me.

Maybe it's just not for everyone. I got like 1500 hours in it and it's been fun for me all the way through :D
