EVERYONE’S SKY…
We’re just putting it out there! After it’s turbulent launch many moons ago on PS4, with calls for refunds and people’s heads on platters, it’s truly wonderful to see and experience what No Man’s Sky has come to be in 2022.
What’s perhaps most impressive of all is how a game of this size, with 6 years of updates and a galaxy worth of content, has managed to fit onto one little Switch cartridge. At the announcement we were convinced it would require at least SOME downloading, but instead we’ve been able to blast into the constellations after one little installation.
I wrote a blog covering the redemption of this title and the release of the Frontiers Update back in September 2021. (You can check it out here!) We had admiration then and we certainly still have it now with a successful Switch and PlayStation 5 launch under its belt!
We’ve dropped a few reviews from video game news outlets below to backup our claim that No Man’s Sky has really never been better:
NintendoLife - 9/10
“No Man’s Sky on Switch is a fantastic port of a game we genuinely didn’t really believe would make the transition to Nintendo’s console without some serious technical issues. Hello Games has made the necessary cutbacks and downgrades to get this intergalactic survival sandbox playing at a super solid frame rate and the colourful, chunky graphical style here ensures that it all still looks pretty fantastic to boot.”

GodIsAGeek - 9/10
“No Man’s Sky sits comfortably next to the best ports on the platform. Of course it doesn’t sing quite as beautifully as the most high-powered console versions, but really, when you can planet hop in a decked out space ship while having a number two, who cares? Absolute wizardry.”

ScreenRant - 4.5/5
“Many may see No Man’s Sky coming to Switch as one small step towards entertainment, but making the game work as well as it does on the Switch is one giant leap for Nintendo fans, especially for those wanting to explore something much more extensive and varied than Breath of Wild’s Hylian ruins.”

An epic voyage to the centre of a shared universe awaits, allowing you to explore, trade, fight and survive.
