Not a multiplayer game

While the game has been released to rave reviews, some players are having problems of getting stuck in one of the game’s huge number of planets, or seeing their game crash so that they get kicked out of the huge universe.

As can be seen in the picture above, physical copies of No Man’s Sky used to feature a different age rating, as well as a symbol indicating that the game features online multiplayer.

The wait is over for those who want to play on PS4 this space exploration game from the indie developer Hello Games. You can head over to the support page on the official website of No Man’s Sky to report these bugs.

Of course, this won’t effect the way most people play No Man’s Sky. There will be 18 quintillion planets to explore in this game, and Hello Games is inviting everyone to explore all of them, if they can. That is, if you’re playing it on the PlayStation 4.

Exploration truly is the essence of No Man’s Sky, while there are indeed space stations and space battles, most of your experience is going to be of the solitary explorer travelling across gruelling and yet attractive landscapes; basically to go where no man has gone before.

In the post, Murray says that Hello Games has brought in a new QA team that’s larger than the team that made the game, and that there’ll be a patch coming soon to fix the most critical issues.

While the game developer’s co-founder Sean Murray invited everyone to explore the video game thoroughly, it is advised to know a few details. Camping is a nasty habit and while I can understand killing another player if they killed you, let’s not endlessly camp each other’s corpses or ships. The sad part? They couldn’t see each other. With the PS4 now available, the team will continue to monitor its performance on top of putting the final details on the PC.

In terms of fantastical investment from an exploration perspective, both our own oceans and space represent the best unknowns, and it’s with these two frontiers we compare two games boldly taking us to places we desperately want to go.
