No Man's Sky maintains its spot on the list somewhat (it's basically the same if you consider there's still one new entry to show up later), after rising up on it dramatically last year. I detailed back then how much of a rollercoaster this game has been on my rankings, but now it seems to be settling just outside the top 30. It's not great enough of a game to be in there, but it mattered more than enough to have a nice cozy unthreatened position on it.
I played this game tons last year, and had some great and memorable experiences that made it truly important to me. Maybe the fact that those experiences came seven years after first playing it added to that importance, in fact. This year, I haven't played it much at all, but obviously it still matters a lot to me, and I look forward to getting hyperfixated with it again sometime in the future after some random patch comes out adding lots of new content. Because yeah, even though Hello Games is making their newer bigger more ambitious game (have they learned anything?), it seems like No Man's Sky will just keep getting deeper and deeper.
