No Man’s Sky is a space exploration game, notorious for a horrible launch where the developer’s game play promises were not met, and its redemption over time into a really good and well developed game.
It’s similar to Elite: Dangerous inasmuch as it involves flying through space but whereas Elite is centred on trade, exploration and combat, No Man’s Sky is much stronger on planet exploration and crafting.
I enjoy No Man’s Sky as it’s easier to jump into than Elite and there is a story line involved that pulls me along.
The Platinum Trophy for this was troublesome1. Both the The Longest Voyage for 40 warp jumps and Stranger in a Strange Land for survival hours trophies were missed even though I had passed the criteria for them. In the first case I even had the trophy for 75 jumps but not the one for 40! Additionally I was getting crashes after a time. The solution was go to back to an earlier save file and repeat. Some rework but not as much as starting a game from scratch.
