While developer Hello Games is working hard on its next, equally confusingly named title, Light No Fire, it’s also not done with improving No Man’s Sky. The game has reached “Very Positive” status on Steam after a strong, nearly eight-year campaign to improve the game’s stance.
Engine programmer Martin Griffiths took to Twitter to reflect on the game’s new status on Steam. He discussed how important it is to try and try again even after failing at the start. He also assured fans this isn’t the end of the game.
We’re sure you’ve at least heard of the failure that was early No Man’s Sky; full of promise while also delivering on so little of what it set out to deliver. But, eight years down the line, much of what was promised and then some have been introduced in sizable patches. This also led to the studio itself finding a newfound audience who respected that it never gave up on the game.
Of the updates, it’s introduced everything from new mechanics to overhauling its planet generation to better water physics. It also added VR and other things, many of which were introduced free of charge.
This is a similar situation to Cyberpunk 2077, which has also found a “Very Positive” status. Now, Sean Murrey and his company are working on a new game that we hope will come forward with a strong start and an even stronger review score.
