Play it on:<\/strong> PS5, Xbox Series X\/S, Switch, Windows (Steam Deck OK)
Current goal:<\/strong> Vibe <\/p>\n

No Man\u2019s Sky<\/em> just received yet another expansive update<\/a><\/span>, this one following the \u201cWorlds Part I<\/a><\/span>\u201d patch which improved clouds, added more realistic water physics, new creatures, wind simulation, and much more. While NMS<\/em> has been steadily evolving since its initial lukewarm reception in 2016, Worlds Part II<\/em> might be the game\u2019s largest update yet. Just check out the extensive patch notes<\/a><\/span>, which feel like they scroll on forever. <\/p>\n

And while I\u2019d hardly describe myself as a regular NMS<\/em> player, I am always eager to jump into this colossal universe when new features are added. To be honest, it\u2019s hard to pinpoint what exactly calls to me in NMS<\/em>. Sure, a good inventory management experience tickles my brain, but I also love the game\u2019s chill-yet-curious science fiction narratives. And though I usually screw it up, I like basebuilding and settlement management. But perhaps most of all, the joy of existing in a digital place is worthwhile all on its own, especially when the game is as massive as NMS<\/em> is. NMS<\/em> provides a space like few other games out there, with freedom to travel in a way I fell in love with back when the game launched. Seeing a planet in the sky and just being able to go there never gets old\u2014and now the game looks so much more lively thanks to the improved visuals and environmental features found in the recent update.<\/p>\n

NMS <\/em>has also been a somewhat comforting experience during this rather confusing and complicated moment in my life. I\u2019m expected to receive some life-changing surgery in the very near future, and having a virtual space in which to chill allows my brain to just wander, contemplate my life, or simply empty itself out to take in the fantastical spaces of NMS<\/em> and enjoy that basic fundamental joy of life: existing<\/em>. <\/p>\n

Also, while NMS<\/em> has always been a pretty solid experience on Steam Deck, recent updates seem to have made it better. The framerate is way more stable than I remember it, and the game joyously pops to life on the OLED model\u2019s screen. And since I\u2019m looking at some more time spent held up in recovery soon, that\u2019s a pretty sweet discovery to have made. \u2014 Claire Jackson<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
