Description

No Man’s Sky for PC is an action-adventure survival game in which the player takes the form of a crash-landed alien humanoid who is supplied with the basics of what he or she needs to survive and even thrive. Equipped with a multi-tool, the player can follow the on-screen advice from an entity named Atlas.

This advice leads the players on a pre-set course, giving them plenty of opportunities to mine for resources, battle or trade and team up with fellow players or aliens (the latter are generated by the servers’ algorithms as needed, much like the more distant parts of the cosmos).

But the best way to play is to head off on your own, building the ships and carriers you need to continue your journey as when you need them. See how far you can travel: trading, mining and fighting as you go.

About the Game


When released in 2016, the game was hailed as something unique and wonderful, though critics complained because many of the promised features were not present. However, the developers have made good on those promises since that first release and those promised features, such as multi player capability, extra building features, etc, are now available.

The game operates largely using algorithms that ‘create’ the world just ahead of the player’s progress. This is called progression generation and it is a positive because it uses fewer resources than maintaining a fixed world would.

If players travel to the same place at the same time, they will see the same features and colonies. This makes gameplay more authentic, while keeping the data usage relatively low.

New Details


The developers, a company called Hello Games, have worked hard to bring the game up to its original promise with regular updates that make the game more exciting, immersive and fun for all players.

Multiplayer functionality was the main feature that gamers wanted and this was included in the first major update, shortly after the launch. Improved building enables players to make their home base unique to their own preferences: having an ideal home to protect is a good way for players to feel invested in the game.

The developers continue to release updates regularly so you will always have something new and exciting to look forward to. They have learned from the errors of the past, and now only announce the new features once they are sure that they are player ready.

Ways to Play


The game is predominantly a world-building exploration game, with enough interesting missions to keep interest high. Players can choose their level of difficulty so they can simply explore the beautifully depicted space. There are different methods of play to choose, depending on what the player prefers:

  • Exploration: The default setting. You take on the character of a crash-landed humanoid alien and set about ensuring your survival and exit from the planet on which you have crash-landed. You are encouraged to use the multi-tool, that all players have as standard, to mine for resources which you then craft into protective gear and transport.

  • Survival: This is similar to standard gameplay but with much higher difficulty so if you like maximum excitement and challenge in your gaming this is the mode for you as you will be subject to more hostile attacks and more combat situations than otherwise.

  • Combat: Full-on battles from the beginning to the end. These usually slot into the player’s exploration, with battles being more prevalent when this mode is chosen.

  • Trading: This mode of play relies more on diplomacy and making deals with the aliens that you come across as you explore the worlds. It is not as easy as it sounds, however, the aliens speak languages which you must work to understand by gathering ‘Rosetta stones’ that will help with translations. Misunderstandings can cause friction!

  • Multiplayer: Up to 16 players can team up to explore new areas of the map and friends can track each other on the map.


    • Endgame


    Play through all the various modes in the format that suits your playing style best, enjoying the beautiful vastness of space and the exquisite landscapes as you travel between planets and settlements to raid, trade and explore the cosmos.

    No Man’s Sky for PC is available for purchase on Instant Gaming for a fraction of its retail price. You will receive an official key and be able to play the game in seconds. Play smart. Pay less.

    Really fun game most of the times. It gives you a chance to explore unbelievable amount of planets, solo or with friends. It does need improvements tho, like planets should be a lot more diverse, after some time you have a feeling that most of the planets are the same and the differences between planet sizes are not noticable enough, I would go far as to say that size differences are not noticable at all at first glance. But still, definitelly worth trying.
    • Huge open-world
    • Relatively cheap
    • After some time, it becomes monotonous and a bit boring
    • Lack of diverse between planets and alien species

    I've bought this game on 4 different devices, should say enough about how much I enjoy this game. You get to travel through space, which is already fun as it is with shooting mechanics, but you can land on brand new planets, find new creatures, improve your ship(s), and there are funny npcs you can interact with. It really draws you in.
    • Fun

    • Really has everything you want bundled into one game

    A fantastic space exploration game! There’s always something to work on, and with updates over the years many of people’s valid concerns about uninspiring environments have been resolved. The most recent major update also allows you to construct your own unique ship design, using a modular building system that offers many different parts to work with, with more options likely on the way. I’ve only dabbled in this system a little bit as I’m still new to the game, but I’m looking forward to seeing what I can create!
    • Widely-varied environments to explore
    • Base-building freedom
    • Customizable ship building system
    • Certain segments of tutorial are a little threadbare
    • No explicit “HOTAS” compatibility currently
    • Can put some performance strain on lower-end gaming PC’s

    Definetly a good product. Lot of contents and intriguing environment. You need to like exploration and resource grinding. The action parts (space fights or FPS shooting) are enjoyable but nothing too deep. Huge crafting system.
    • Immense : feels like you are exploring the galaxy
    • Huge variety of crafting options
    • Intriguing story line
    • inventory management a but cumbersome
    • tutorials and quest guidance could be improved
