John Bedford (Modojo): It's hard to pin Out There to any one single genre. It's part choose-your-own-adventure, complete with tongue-in-cheek nods at established science fiction conventions. It's part rogue-like thanks to the sense of inevitable death attached to every player decision. And it's at least one part FTL: Faster Than Light, with its space exploration themes, and resource management challenges.

Elite dangerous does the whole 'space' exploration better. By quite a bit. No mans sky is better for..landing on planets. ED is less repetitive too. Example... Dropping out of warp almost landing in a star is ****ing scary. Nothing like that happens in NMS. Nothing particularly interesting happens in space in NMS. ED, everything interesting is in space.
It's a shame really the way No Man's Sky ended up. It could have been so much more if they worked longer and with a bigger team on the game. It could have been the best sci fi exploring game of the decade.
They just announced a new foundation update which will introduce major changes including base building.
Oh God no. Space Engine is better, looks better, has just as much to do, and it's free.
Oh, and it actually has orbital patterns.
LMAO!! I got a good chuckle. Wheeww.. another "joke of the day" comment. I love those.
@kraenk12
I did play it. lol!! No where close to best of anything.
Most of these were available for a long time before NMS came out, especially Rodina.
Mobile to PC transitions are rare, but there's a real chance for success. For Mi-Clos' Out There, it's a huge win. AUTOMATON's Graham Arthur takes a look at the beta version of Out There's Omega Edition.
AUTOMATON's Graham Arthur shares his top five games of 2014 in this first part of his year-end roundup. (AUTOMATON will be running further lists by Graham and other writers over the next few days.)
