pruddy good

Valve is virtue signaling by blocking ads in video games but will allow children to gamble.

Needs some work but its alright. Publisher/Devs are listening to player feedback, which is the most important.

No Man's Sky has made a phenomenal comeback since its rocky start. The free updates have been a game-changer, adding vast new features like multiplayer, VR support, and stunning new planets.

Here are all the updates we got absolutely for free:

- Atlas Rises (2017): Expanded story and new biomes.
- NEXT (2018): Major overhaul with multiplayer and base building.
- Beyond (2019): VR support and expanded base building.
- Origins (2020): Enhanced planet diversity and weather.
- Expeditions (2021): Limited-time missions with unique rewards.
- Frontiers (2021): Planetary settlements and new base options.
- Lore (2022): Added story elements and narrative content.
- Waypoint (2022): Streamlined progression and customization.
- Echoes (2023): New space anomalies and exploration mechanics.
- Worlds (2024): Revamped planet generation and new biomes.

The constant updates have turned this game into a vast, ever-evolving universe worth exploring. If you enjoy expansive exploration and continuous improvements, No Man's Sky is a must-play!

Check your windows startup programs. Two new startup processes are added by this game. They're malware, they also run when the game isn't running at all, so you're being spied on even if you're not playing this game.

A chill game. Don't take it too seriously though.

133 Hours in. Finished all the current in-game content (Early Access). I have done all the bosses, I have conquered my PvP server and was in possession of all 3 shards.

The way the progression is gated by bosses is absolutely amazing. The combat is balanced and for each easy to beat boss, there is an insanely difficult battle with a different boss as well.

The PvP is also balanced, with the possibility to outplay people within +-20 points in gear level.

Exploration aspect: The excitement I had while tracking the various bosses in the game was immense. Each time I tracked the next boss in order to either unlock a recipe or get a mysterious new power, I was taken to new, exciting but also difficult enough areas with new enemies.

The atmosphere of different areas are immersive and enjoyable. Each area has a different "vibe" and they were pleasant to explore.

I appreciate the way this game makes you be very careful when entering unexplored territory. I can't say I have experienced this in many other games previous to playing VRising.

The PvP:
In addition to the difficult enemies, on PvP servers, there are also players hunting you to take your resources, as well as players repeatedly trying to siege your castle in order for them to expand.
You have to think long and hard about when you leave your base and what you do out there, because there can easily be consequences to any wrong action you take.
This aspect, in combination with PvE, makes this game absolutely PHENOMENAL.

For an Early Access title to have a core concept this great is truly an exceptional thing.

I am very much looking forward to content updates and I am eager to play on a freshly wiped server once the content patches roll out.

This game is deserving of every single penny I paid for it and more. It has been a long time since I found a gem like VRising.

This game is awesome. I wish more players would give it a chance. It is seemingly very simple but it can be complex when it is played by people who know what they are doing.

I had tons of fun and the money I spent on this game I consider to be well spent!

There is certainly a learning curve to this game and it takes some patience to get good at, don't get discouraged if you lose the first couple of times. This game might not look like much but if you give it a chance, I'm willing to bet that you will be pleasantly surprised by how fun this game can be.

Just no. Save your money, this game is a scam.

None of the 'Tem' feel any rewarding to invest into. This isn't pokemon, there is not going to be any Tem that will have significance similar to what a shiny pokemon would feel like in a pokemon game.

When playing Temtem, the thought that goes through my head is 'which of these Tem are the least bad'. None of the Tem are desirable to have, they don't look cool at all and their techniques are underwhelming.

In this game I feel like I am literally forced to have a team full of creatures and therefor I must grind for more, it isn't the same satisfactory feeling that you would get in pokemon. I don't want to have a full team of tem, especially when I don't like any of them and all of them feel underwhelming. (Yes, even perfect Tem with 7SV's).

This game is overall just severely lacking in purpose, in tems and in fun. It feels soulless.

Greedy Bethesda..fine have my money. I recommend this game but only if you liked Skyrim and if your wallet can handle it.
