That and some of the reviewers I;ve watched over the years are feeling the same.
Jim Sterling feels that it doesn't really grab him that much. Karak from ACG says to wait for a deep discount:
Some reviews I've seen point out the inventory system, Dtoid specifically points out the two fuel need and watching Angry Joe having to muck around with the inventory while having to hold down to drag items from one to another and the controls not doing so well give some issues that need sorting. I'll be waiting for a discount anyway along with improvement patches. |
It's like the difference between something like Skyrim and something like Resident Evil 4. The bigger you try to make the world, and the more control you give the player, the less ability you have to create awesome and memorable set pieces. And there definitely is something to be said for freedom, but No Man's Sky is taking it to an almost absurd extreme. There is no possible way this could have been anything but repetitive and grindy. Unless the core mechanics are absolutely superb (which doesn't seem to be the case going by reviews) then this isn't a game that will appeal to most people.
What should have been a niche game got an unwarranted amount of hype. So, a lot of people were disappointed, and around 5.0 seems pretty reasonable.
