No Man's Sky comes to PS4 and PC and divides opinions

The wait is over. After much delay, setbacks and several delays, No Man's Sky is finally among us. The independent most anticipated game of the year has always been surrounded by much anticipation and suspicion, which only served to increase the hype surrounding its launch, held on Tuesday (09). After all, the idea of creating a fully procedural universe that molds as you follow playing, bringing infinite planets to be explored is something that really catches the eye.

This idea of a universe ever developing is so inherent in the game of the proposal that even the trade press could have anticipated contact with the game, as usually happens in large releases. The result is that opinions on the title of Hello Games begin to emerge gradually as the community itself begins to make its findings and to understand a little more about this strange world. But at this moment are very positive and excited reactions to everything that has been found.

And the point that is gaining more players on that first day is exactly the variety of planets found. As each site is generated procedural way, that is, almost in real time, you never know exactly what you'll find with each new trip. This makes the ecosystem and society that will cross your path is really unique - which generates and curious situations and different from what we used to see in so games.

But what the hell he is? Well, the staff will gradually discovering that the real purpose behind space travel, but IGN already anticipates that the players have a lot to do. It brings some elements that resemble very Minecraft and Terraria in order to collect resources to build new objects and survive each new planet, while improving your ship to ever fly farther.

This focus on collecting items is something that also frustrated players who expected something more. The Polygon site, for example, turned up his nose for that gameplay feature, stating that the number of variables that the player must manage make things a little boring and go well against than Hello Games has always presented us. Still, it highlights the value that No Man's Sky gives the operation, especially the part where you need to study the alien societies. Coming to a planet, you must first understand the language spoken by them before going out doing business and relating with these people. The only problem is that these moments of pathfinder are often interrupted by the need to collect materials for your trip.

Thus, the Kotaku describes very well saying that the game is really fun as many people expected, but it's not all that. According to the first impressions given by the website, it is designed for those who love exploring new scenarios, but is far from the best spatial title of all time as many people believed.

The mystery of the universe

Also, another reason that made No Man's Sky was surrounded in mystery until its release is that the production itself took great care that no information leaked ahead of time. The Hello Games was so anxious to keep everything in the most complete secrecy began to take down videos uploaded to YouTube made by players who had access to advance copies. As the overall objective of the title is to make the player get to the center of the galaxy, the developer did everything to not let this surprise escape ahead of time.

So much so that one of the game's creators, Sean Murray, went to Twitter to ask people not to comment and did not reveal any detail of the game than that which the producer had already shown. This happened shortly after a young man prove to have paid more than $ 1,300 in a copy of the game weeks before its release. According to him, life could be very brief and he wanted to take advantage of their resources to do what you really like. In this case, it was to invest a small fortune in the title that is now everyone paying $ 60 - ie 20 times less.

And even those who obtained a copy before the time found something quite different from what was released on Tuesday. Shortly before the official release of No Man's Sky, Hello Games has released an update that modified several elements of mechanics and own general structure of the game. In other words, from night to day, it became almost a completely new game.

With that, everyone was able to match in their ships toward this universe of possibilities at the same time.
