What goes wrong
Experienced Random crashes every 5 minutes of playtime.
AI for everything is just bad, and gameplay is plodding.
After 10 hours in No Man’s Sky, I still haven’t found anything to do. P.S. Great, this piece of ♥♥♥♥ doesn’t even let you play multiplayer with a VPN.
Would not recommend for PC at ALL. This game is filled with stupid and completely unnecessary features which make it very unsatisfying for PC players.
It's extremely grindy, extremely slow and extremely repetitive.
What goes well
