After 8 years, No Man's Sky has finally achieved what the game has struggled to have during its initial release: an overwhelming amount of positive reviews.
Plagued with various issues and problems during its launch, No Man's Sky has continued to redeem itself through the dedication of its team in Hello Games.
The game started as an empty husk of what the team envisioned how the game would turn out and failed to deliver many features that were confirmed for its marketing pre-release.
Through subsequent updates and improvements, No Man's Sky has become the ambitious and well-made space simulator game Starfield can only hope to be. Players, fans, and prospective buyers can now see a spectacular "Very Positive" rating on the game's All Review section of its Steam page.
Hello Games' Sean Murray shared this wonderful achievement on the game's official X account and thanked the community. He also encouraged fans of the game to vote for No Man's Sky for the Best Community Support in the upcoming The Game Awards.

Since its launch, No Man's Sky has received various accolades including the Best Ongoing Game during The Game Awards 2020. It also won the Still Playing Award during The Golden Joystick Awards 2023, making it one of the most historical games that figuratively rose from the ashes of bad marketing and an immense amount of negative reviews at launch.
