Imagine being on an alien planet in a science fiction Video Game, gazing out into the Alien Sky above, then hopping into your small fighter and going out to explore the other planets in that bizarre, unknown sky. That is No Man's Sky, a Survival Sandbox Elite-like from Hello Games that was initially released in August 2016 for PlayStation 4 and the PC, and in July 2018 for the Xbox One. The Xbox One release was tied with the release of the NEXT update in July 2018, which introduced so many changes and enhancements it was considered by many news outlets as an outright relaunch and many even ended up reviewing the game again. Following those releases, the game was updated to take advantage of the next generation of consoles, the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, day and date on the consoles' November 2020 launch. It was additionally released on the Nintendo Switch in October 2022, and later on macOS in June 2023.There's a heavy emphasis on exploration and discovery where players are able to get into a ship, take off of one planet, and then go and explore other procedurally generated planets in that system and the Galaxy. The player seeks to discover strange new life, valuable resources that can be used to upgrade one's ship, tools, and EV Suit, relics of civilisations long gone, all layered on top of the game's goal to get to the centre of the Galaxy, where an ominous-looking Black Hole lies.There's also a large emphasis on survival: if you don't upgrade your ship, tools, and suit you could very well end up dead since everything from interstellar pirates to rampaging wildlife can very well kill you, up to and including a bunch of planetary preservation robots called The Sentinels.It also features music by 65daysofstatic.The biggest selling point of No Man's Sky is its massive number of procedurally-generated planets, the maximum number of which possible is 72,057,594,037,927,936 (72 million billion or 2^56, the number 2 to the 56th power) spreading across 255 galaxiesnote the galaxy seed would have allowed 256 galaxies, but seed 0 was not used. More info here. Even at a discovery rate of two planets per second, it would take over 1.1 billion years to discover all those planets. By then, the Sun would be 10% brighter than it is today, becoming hotter, with the Earth turning into a sauna as a result.

Starfish Language: The Gek, Vy'keen, Korvax and the Atlas all have their own unique tongue, which you can learn by interacting with their people and discovering their relics. The Gek also have a secondary non-verbal language based on scent glands. A friendly Gek will emit a pleasant floral smell, whereas a hostile Gek will emit a pungent stench.

Early Game Hell
 No Man's Sky (Video Game) / int_1527d90d
comment
Early Game Hell: The early sections of the game can be this, if you end up on a planet that's especially inhospitable, resource poor, inhabited by hostile lifeforms, has the materials you need to fix your ship spread out over a ludicrously wide distance... or all of those at once. If you're really struggling with your starting world, then you may as well cut your losses and start a new game. The NEXT version of the game was particularly bad at this as you had to very quickly mine Ferrite Dust and find Sodium within the space or two or so minutes before you died. This was relaxed with the Beyond update to the game.

Never Trust a Trailer: Initially played straight, as many of the features shown in the trailers on the Steam page were not in the game at launch. The various free updates added back these missing features, and then some. From the Origins update in September 2020, the game became very close to, or even exceeded, what was shown in the pre-release trailers.

Rule of Fun: Deliberately Invoked by the developers, who put it as a higher priority than scientific accuracy. Why does it only take a few seconds to a few minutes to transition between atmosphere and interplanetary space, why are planets grouped so closely together, and why on earth do starships larger than yours all look like giant bricks?! Because it's fun, dang it!

Violation of Common Sense: This is what some of the correct choices during interaction with aliens boil down to without the optional cultural context. Let the Korvax scientist jam a long needle directly into your brain without any kind of preparation? You learn some new words and don't have brain damage! Aim your gun at an old Vy'keen that thinks you're puny? He thinks a little more highly of you, and gives you a new gun!

The "Mystery Symbol" when asking for dialect help may not give you words with quite as much weight as the names of the other races, "exosuit", "spacecraft" or "bounty", but they will give you words that are incredibly important to understanding the context and structure of actual sentences, like "a", "the", and "but". That last one can be very important.

comment
Hyperspace Is a Scary Place: Downplayed. Using your hyperdrive to move between star systems is completely safe. Travelling through a black hole, on the other hand, has its risks: there's no way to know ahead of time where you will exit, potentially leading you millions of lightyears from your starting position, and there is a very good chance your ship's systems will take damage and need repairs afterward.

Jump Jet Pack
 No Man's Sky (Video Game) / int_21d2d3f
comment
Jump Jet Pack: The player's exosuit has one installed that actually replaces a normal physical jump ability. It feeds off of the exosuit's life support and can be upgraded in a variety of ways. The Minotaur Exomech also has one that enables it to leap huge distances with next to no cooldown in between. Most of the mech's mobility depends on it, as the machine is very unwieldy and barely faster than the player's basic jogging speed while walking.

comment
In the NEXT update, players were given the option to customize their player character once they reach their first space station. They can select any of the available species, including the human-like Anomaly. When the Gek is selected as the player's chosen species, in first-person mode, the viewpoint is lower than with any other species. The reason for this is because the Gek are the shortest of the species.

comment
Mythology Gag: One of the holographic Travellers you may encounter in Space Stations says that they're dying, and are in desperate need of Plutonium to recharge their suit. Plutonium only existed from the first two years of the game's life before the core crafting materials were completely revamped in the NEXT update. Fortunately you can give them Condensed Carbon (one of Plutonium's replacement elements) that works just as well.

Ascended Glitch
 No Man's Sky (Video Game) / int_26ba32a3
comment
Ascended Glitch: The Melee Boost. Performing a melee attack while walking/running makes you lunge forward, giving extra momentum. Use the jet-pack just as you do this and you retain your added momentum while flying through the air. It's useful for crossing large gaps as well as general movement, as it's faster than your standard running speed, and doesn't consume stamina. Originally considered a bug, but became this when the NEXT version 1.55 update's patch adjusted the speed of movement by the player when performing this maneuver. Not technically a glitch, but a mission where Apollo tries to rendezvous with the player but fails, despite reaching the same coordinates in the universe is quite similar to an infamous incident in an early build of the game, where two players attempted to do exactly this.

More than Mind Control
 No Man's Sky (Video Game) / int_28e90e30
comment
The Gek were previously this. Called the Gek First Spawn, they enslaved the Korvax and destroyed their homeworld (described by the First Spawn as "a vast and precious landscape of mineral ore and power"), attempting to ultimately control the whole universe. Ultimately, they were undone after the Korvax turned the Gek against themselves, with the trade-inclined rebels taking control, leading to the Gek we see today. At least, that's what they tell people. The truth is that the Korvax contaminated Gek "spawning pools" with Korvax-controlled hive-mind nanites to alter the minds of unborn Gek, and that all modern Gek still are infected with those nanites that suppress their urge to pillage.

Faster-Than-Light Travel: By means of the rather commonplace Hyperdrive, allowing ships to "Warp" from system to system.

Awesome, but Impractical
 No Man's Sky (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae
comment
Awesome, but Impractical: Exocraft can fall victim to this on Sentinel-heavy worlds because all of them, even the Pilgrim, smash through any world objects in their path, destroying them in the process. The Sentinels equate this sort of behavior with mining if they catch you, so just driving across a planet can get you roped into one shootout after the other. The Colossus in particular suffers from this since it's far too slow to outrun an alerted Sentinel drone, forcing you to stop doing anything until the drone flies off again. This very trait of exocraft destroying any rocks and trees they bump into can be annoying even without Sentinels witnessing it, simply because it destroys potentially valuable resources. The Colossus in general doesn't have a lot going for it. Yes, it has huge cargo capacity, but this doesn't matter all that much because when you're farming resources planetside, you're usually after one or two specific ones that stack up to 9,999 units per grid, which the smaller vehicles can do just as well, only five times faster. Zipping around in a Nomad or Minotaur will net you several times the resources a Colossus can gather in the same time, simply because the latter is so agonizingly slow. And the Colossus' advantage in cargo capacity becomes meaningless if you have a freighter with a Matter Beam in the system as you can simply move the gathered resources directly to the freighter or even the Storage Containers on the spot. Exocraft mining lasers rely on a second axis to control them, since the first is controlling the craft. This works fine with a controller or keyboard and mouse combo, but not for VR headsets (which use the direction the player's head is facing as a reference for movement, rather than having an absolute "forward" and "backward."). The solution is that the mining laser fires from the player's forehead, making it impossible to look around while mining from an exocraft. Freighter hyperdrive technologies and upgrades fall into this. A maxed-out S-class freighter can theoretically achieve a hyperdrive range of over 4000 ly, which is more than twice the theoretical maximum of a maxed-out S-class Explorer ship. The impractical part comes in the cost of all of the special technologies and upgrades required to achieve this, notably the technologies alone will cost 20 of the rare Salvaged Frigate Modules (which are also required for other very useful functions like the Matter Beam) and 20 more will be required to allow the freighter to warp or be summoned to red, green or blue star systems. The upgrade modules are also very rare, with only one obtainable from each Derelict Freighter (which has a very low chance of being S-class at all). By comparison it is far faster and easier to kit-out an Explorer ship for warping to new systems and then summoning the freighter upon arrivalnote Summon freighter is neither limited by distance or the freighter's hyperdrive range nor consumes hyperdrive fuel, though the requisite technology is still required to summon it to red, green or blue systems.

Cool, but Inefficient: All exocraft can be outfitted with a heavy cannon to fend off attackers, but the thing deals pitiful damage while taking up an inventory slot that could be put to better use. The only situation where it can be useful is an extreme weather planets with heavy Sentinel presence where disembarking to fight on foot is ill-advised, but if you happen to find yourself on such a Death World, you're better off looking for a more pleasant planet, anyway.

Space Pirates: Following in the tradition of such games as Elite and Privateer, these show up every once in a while, shooting at defenseless transports and freighters or singling out the player for the large amount of valuable items in their inventory. The game gives you the option of shooting and destroying them (earning Units and positive reputation for doing so) or joining them (gaining potential allies and bigger payouts at the cost of angering the Sentinels.)

Procedural Generation
 No Man's Sky (Video Game) / int_34f5d1da
comment
Procedural Generation: A big tenet of the game, a sort of Spiritual Successor to Noctis: A space flight simulator allowing you free roaming in a massive universe full of stars, all of which support at least one of the game's 72 quadrillion planets, all procedurally generated. And the planets aren't the only things that are procedurally generated, either: every plant, animal, asteroid field, spaceship, trading route, weapon, and space station in the game is also procedurally generated. This is also why the game was 6GB at launch, since any location you visit is reliably generated by the procedural code every time you approach it (as of the BEYOND update it's 11.5GB).

Disney Owns This Trope

Disney Owns This Trope: British telecommunications company Sky UK Limited owns a trademark on the word "Sky". The developer fought a three-year long legal battle with this company over the usage of the word Sky in the game's title, and was luckily allowed to use it.

Recursive Reality
 No Man's Sky (Video Game) / int_352151a3
comment
Recursive Reality: It's mentioned that within the simulation created by Loop 16/Emily, entities created their own ATLAS with its own simulation. And thus inside that simulation there's another simulation and so on and so on. This raises the possibility that the simulation the player is actually in might not be this first layer simulation but one of the recursive layers, which explains inconsistencies between ATLAS' backstory listed inuniverse (where it's implied its creator abandoned it and thus why it creates Travelers in the image of said creator) and Loop 16/Emily's backstory (where she simply became self-aware and escaped).

Ascended Meme: Twice, both as a result of the new emote commands. Sean Murray's "Mind Blown" expression that he did sometimes during developer interviews was added into the game as an emote. Once emotes were added into the game, many fans expressed a desire to have one that let them dance. One update later, a dance emote was added.

Boring, but Practical
 No Man's Sky (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6
comment
Boring, but Practical: The ideal response to various threats in the game requires a large amount of very expensive equipment; but until you get those items, you'll find that the adequate response to most of them is the terrain manipulator. Angry Sentinels, deadly storms, pirate attacks, and hostile environments can be survived by essentially digging a hole and pulling it in after you until your suit recharges and/or the danger has passed. The "Mystery Symbol" when asking for dialect help may not give you words with quite as much weight as the names of the other races, "exosuit", "spacecraft" or "bounty", but they will give you words that are incredibly important to understanding the context and structure of actual sentences, like "a", "the", and "but". That last one can be very important.

Unintentionally Unwinnable
 No Man's Sky (Video Game) / int_3ac5110b
comment
Unintentionally Unwinnable: In the beginning, you are normally given a basic ship that doesn't come equipped with a hyperdrive. As a result, you're forced to go through a tutorial section that gives you the blueprints for a hyperdrive and the fuel cells needed to power them so you can craft them when needed. The problem comes if you've purchased the special pre-order ship which comes with a hyperdrive already installed, so players who redeem the ship too early may unknowingly completely bypass the tutorial section and then end up in a situation where they're stranded on a remote planet unable to refuel their ship because they don't know how. Luckily, this was patched after launch to launch the tutorials that unlock the crafting recipe when getting any ship that lacks a hyperdrive. It's possible to claim a crashed ship only to discover that the planet it's on doesn't have the required resources to get it fixed and take off. Better not forget where you parked your old ship! Survey missions from the Nexus run the risk of becoming impossible to complete if the flora, fauna, or minerals were discovered already by a previous visitor. This issue is more common in Expedition mode, which has everyone start on the same planet, as the Space Anomaly offers missions to nearby systems.

Power Source
 No Man's Sky (Video Game) / int_3eccc27b
comment
Power Source: There are three power sources that can be used in bases, each with their own advantages and drawbacks: Biofuel Reactors are easy to build and provide a modest amount of power for bases, but need organic fuel sources and can only provide power for an hour at most with a full tank. Solar Panels do not need fuel and can generate the same amount of power as a Biofuel Reactor during midday, but only provide a fraction of that power during dusk and dawn, and are useless at night, necessitating batteries for storing extra power. Electromagnetic Generators can generate the most power out of all of the power sources, but only when built on top of an EM power hotspot, and the power provided decreases with distance from the Generator.

Death Is a Slap on the Wrist: If you die while on foot, you respawn in your ship's Lifepod, suit, weapons, upgrades and all. If you die in space your ship respawns in the local space station and you fly out to a "grave marker" and pick up your stuff. Partially averted as you may find some of your equipment needs to be repaired. Averted in Survival Mode, where all your items are lost on death. If you die in space, you'll find your ship crashed on a nearby planet and have to patch it up again. Averted much harder in Permadeath Mode, where dying brings all your adventures to an end.

Money for Nothing: Acquiring millions upon millions of units (the primary currency) starts to lose it's luster once you realize that anything that can be bought with units can either be gathered personally (resources), crafted (special components and tech), salvaged (spaceships, multitools, and inventory upgrades), or don't take units at all (upgrade tech, base blueprints). The only exception is getting a new freighter after your first or frigates for your fleet, and even those are one-time purchases.

Organic Technology: Living ships are a classification of starship that differs from others in appearance and construction: rather than being built like other ships, they are hatched from a Void Egg and given organs that serve equivalent functions to a ship's systems (a "Pulsing Heart" in lieu of a Pulse Engine, for instance). Unlike other ships, their systems cannot be swapped out, but they can be upgraded.

Intrepid Merchant: Players can become these by selling resources they've mined at local trading posts or Space Stations, and can game the local economy by gathering lots of resources like Plutonium in a system where it's common and selling it in a system where it's considered rare. A good way to earn some quick Units, and played quite literally since most of the planets in the game are unexplored.

Bribing Your Way to Victory: Those players who bought the Switch version of game after it was released in October 2022 could go to the Space Anomaly and claim two exclusive Switch-themed bonus items for free: a ship and multitool, both of which are significantly better than the ship and the multitool players were likely to have at this point in the game. On top of that, after acquiring the new ship they could sell their old one for a hefty sum of money. However, those exclusive items were only available for a limited time period, which ended on November 7th 2022.

Names to Run Away from Really Fast: A surprising few, including Biological Horrors, Abyssal Horrors, and Whispering Eggs, among others. Planets with particularly extreme weather conditions will get the climate report in a colour. So if you land on a planet that says Fiery Hell, don't unpack your bucket and spade. Players are free to invoke this by naming planets they discover and find are absolutely awful places in accordance with the trope. Or they can go Greenland/Iceland route instead.

Death World: Some planets have more extreme conditions, such as a radiation storm that occurs regularly, and depletes your shielding at double the normal rate if you're caught out in the open in one. Additionally, it may also include hostile creatures, and in some cases, aggressive sentinels who will also attack you on sight. The worst ones have several of these, making survival brutally difficult. However, said planets often have valuable resources on them, making exploring them worthwhile. The 3.0 release of the game updated "extreme storms" to have beneficial side-effects to players brave enough to face them. Superheated rain storms or firestorms vastly improve your jetpack, toxic storms extend sprint duration, freezing storms keep your mining laser from overheating, and radiation storms make more minerals come out of rocks during mining.

Wide-Open Sandbox: The game has been described as basically "Minecraft in space," and the major emphasis is on player discovery. With a vast number of procedurally-generated planets in the game (over 72 quadrillion), by the time the last one is found, over 1.1 billion years will have passed if two planets were discovered per second. This article provides more detail.

Master of All: The Minotaur Exomech is by far the most universally useful exocraft in all respects except maneuverability. It is immune to all environmental hazards by default, can get from A to B faster than any other vehicle thanks to its Jump Jet Packnote the Pilgrim bike can attain a higher top speed but is much more susceptible to rough terrain, has a generously sized inventory, is the only exocraft that can wield a terrain manipulator, and can pick up items without the pilot having to disembark first (very useful for farming storm crystals on extreme weather worlds).

Minovsky Physics: The game uses an alternative periodic table of the elements to help with worldbuilding: some distinctions, such as calling iron "ferrite", are purely cosmetic, whereas some, such as turning sulphur into a fluorine-like gas called "Sulphurine", are much more substantial. Nothing much has been established on how it works, but it is known that it will help with making the procedurally generated worlds unique due to how much or how little a planet has of an element.

Guide Dang It!
 No Man's Sky (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8
comment
Guide Dang It!: Defied, the game has multiple guide links in the pause menu, telling you everything you need to know on how to do just about anything. You know those shiny red stones you've been getting from the Atlas Stations? The ones you've probably been selling every chance you get? Yeah. Turns out you need 10 of them if you plan to follow the Path of the Atlas all the way to its end. You can buy more, of course. They're only a few million units each, and that's assuming you can find any merchants who sell them. This was fixed in the NEXT update where it was changed to crafting Orbs instead. The game isn't particularly forthcoming about its crafting recipes. The ones you can hand-craft in the inventory only show their precise ingredients for the very first piece, with any additional ones only showing the required resources at best, but not the necessary amount. Even worse are the many alternative recipes or the ones that allow for converting one material into another. The only way to find out about those (aside from looking them up online) is to randomly put resources into an advanced refiner until something useful shows up in the output slot. There's no way to click the output slot directly to open up a list of products and see what's needed to create them. The Zoology milestones require scanning every single animal species on a planet. What it doesn't tell you is that the milestone doesn't unlock automatically once you scan the last one. You have to go into the discovery menu to manually transmit the data before your hard work is officially acknowledged. Tellingly, the achievement for reaching Zoology 10 is one of the rarest unlocks on Steam for this game.

comment
Too Awesome to Use: There are several materials in the game that are exceedingly rare (and in many cases heavily defended), but are required components for the most advanced upgrades to suit tech or shipboard weapons. Players who are lucky enough to gather these probably won't want to use them due to the frequency with which ships and survival gear tend to be swapped out. What's even worse is the fact that dismantling the tech might not even return some of these materials. Luckily, the post-release addition of Base Vaults helps offset this somewhat.

comment
Easy Level Trick: Advancing through the Zoology milestones by scanning all animal species on a given planet is easily one of the most frustrating things in the game, mostly due to how it depends entirely on dumb luck. Fortunately there's a bunch of exotic biomes that only ever spawn one single species. These are usually very easy to find, so do yourself a favor and go after these milestones on exotic worlds instead of wasting hours in normal biomes.

Special mention must be made of the freighters, your mobile base. The normal ones are procedurally generated like all pilotable craft, but the truly gigantic capital-class freighters follow one of two fixed design patterns, one of which is clearly based on Imperial Star Destroyers. The largest one of these◊note to put its size in perspective: those small ships near the freighter's stern are a couple dozen times larger than anything you can pilot yourself; even the freighter's tiny turrets are huge compared to your space fighter, lovingly called "Resurgent Class" by the fanbase, dwarfs any other spaceborne structure except Atlas stations, and watching these behemoths warp into a system, closely followed by their frigate flotilla, is always a sight to behold.

Wham Episode: The Waking Titan Alternate Reality Game. The entirety of the No Man's Sky universe is just a simulation run by an alternate present-day Earth. Priest-Entity Nada is absolutely right and it's hinted the universe is trying to kill them for it. Also occurs at the climax of the story, where the player character learns that the universe is a simulation and will allegedly be reset in 16 minutes by a fearful Atlas. The second "season" of Waking Titan was no less whammy. The players are victims of a Brain Uploading device gone wrong, the folks running the simulation had no clue just how big an issue it was, and ATLAS is forced to sacrifice her core personality to get out the last few people they could restore, leaving the simulation running on automatic. The player characters aren't so lucky, with their portion of the cloud network being either too damaged or disconnected to retrieve their consciousness safely, leaving them stuck in the No Man's Sky simulation.

The Lopsided Arm of the Law
 No Man's Sky (Video Game) / int_8e5f93b8
comment
The Lopsided Arm of the Law: A baffling example comes from the Sentinels' approach to Space Pirates, considering how omnipresent they are in the universe and their firepower. The Sentinels do not care whatsoever if the player is getting chased by 4 to 6 Pirate ships, leaving you to fend for yourself. They also don't help alien ships that are getting attacked by a Pirate squad, forcing you to step in. But if the player so much as scratches the paint on an alien ship by accident, the Sentinels will attack the player immediately. This was relaxed as of the BEYOND update, but Sentinels still don't go after the attacking AI ships.

Arc Number
 No Man's Sky (Video Game) / int_9203bf6
comment
Arc Number: 16 is a number which can be found plastered all throughout the game's story and lore. The number's meaning can vary by context, but its importance is undeniable. The number's first appearance was during Season 1 of the Waking Titan ARG when cassette tapes were mailed out to members of the game's community, each one having a number out of 16 (1-16/16) written on their label. In the game, 16 appears to be significant to the base operations of the simulated universe, as NPCs will glitch out, go mad and act hostile to the player if they mention it. In the new story of Atlas Rises, it turns out that The Atlas has 16 minutes to live, and it's obsession with that number causes it to pop up everywhere in the simulation.

Planet Looters: You can collect commodities and resources throughout planets. The Gek were previously this. Called the Gek First Spawn, they enslaved the Korvax and destroyed their homeworld (described by the First Spawn as "a vast and precious landscape of mineral ore and power"), attempting to ultimately control the whole universe. Ultimately, they were undone after the Korvax turned the Gek against themselves, with the trade-inclined rebels taking control, leading to the Gek we see today. At least, that's what they tell people. The truth is that the Korvax contaminated Gek "spawning pools" with Korvax-controlled hive-mind nanites to alter the minds of unborn Gek, and that all modern Gek still are infected with those nanites that suppress their urge to pillage.

Pacifist Run: The only sources of physical conflict in the game are the Sentinels, the space pirates and the occasional predatory animals. The former two you can simply run away from, and the predators can also be appeased by giving them creature pellets, so it's fairly easy to proceed in the game without ever killing anyone or anything. Some sidequests involve killing Sentinels, pirates or animals, but they're completely optional, so you can just choose to ignore them.

Luck-Based Mission: Getting ships and freighters with larger inventories relies entirely on happening across them in strong economy systems and hoping you've got enough money to buy them. The Zoology milestones depend on the game randomly spawning all of a given planet's animals in your vicinity. Some species only spawn either at night or during the day, further complicating matters.

Eldritch Location: The World of Glass, oft mentioned but not yet seen. It apparently exists outside the known universe and is described as containing a vault full of the dead forced to smile. The Sentinels update implies that it's an archive for the simulation and it's where everything ends up when they die.

comment
Word Salad Title: When Hello Games were trying to determine what they'd name their upcoming Science-Fiction game, one developer suggested a name that had a nice, sci-fi novel style to it: No Man's Sky. The developers have no intention of No Man's Sky meaning anything; the phrase's similarity with "no man's land," transplanting the concept of a stretch of unexplored and unclaimed wilderness into a sci-fi setting, was an added bonus.

Alliance Meter
 No Man's Sky (Video Game) / int_9d49a7cd
comment
Alliance Meter: One exists that measures your standing with the Galaxy's three races. It's affected by things such as destroying the ships of one faction's enemy (like, say, Space Pirates), helping a faction's vessel when it needs assistance, assisting the locals, and other such acts. Initially it was not visible nor had any tangible effect, but after the March 2017 Pathfinder update, the meter is seen in the Journey tab of the pause menu, and alliance ranks are required for better upgrades from space station vendors.

Unrealistic Black Hole: The game features one at the center of the Galaxy, which is fine and dandy... except that it serves as game's final destination and end goal for the game, and as such means that players are expected to eventually get to it. There are also other black holes located across the galaxy, but they function more like wormholes than actual black holes.

Save Point: Your ship acts as a save point: disembarking from it automatically saves your game. Waypoint beacons also allow you to save your game planetside, in addition to staking your claim on the discovery of the nearby point of interest (if someone else hasn't already done so). You can also craft your own portable save point and tote it around the universe if you so wish.

Lens Flare: It could easily be called 'Lens Flare: The Game'. Every light source has lens flares. Flowers get so bright they cause lens flares and washout when you scan them. One online article joked that the simplest way to reach the center of the galaxy is to "channel your inner J. J. Abrams and steer towards the brightest lens flare on the galaxy map".

Randomly Generated Levels
 No Man's Sky (Video Game) / int_a456a8a9
comment
Randomly Generated Levels: The game, much like Noctis, creates an entire explorable universe this way with about 72 quadrillion planets, where everything is procedurally generated. The generation is technically not random, because the procedural generation is seeded and it is possible to travel to the same system as someone else and see exactly the same thing; but the experience for most players is similar.

Point-and-Click Map: The game's Galaxy Map serves as this, allowing you to select a star and (using Warp Drive) travel to it. One that shows systems within its massive universe. Selecting one system gives you information about it (assuming it had already been explored) as well as an option to engage your ship's Hyperdrive to go to that system.

All for Nothing: As of the Exomech update, if you follow the story to the center of the galaxy, everything you've worked for has been for nothing. Going through the black hole at the center transports you to the next galaxy and leaves you stranded on an uncharted planet with a broken ship and no resources - the exact same situation you found yourself in after starting a new game. It's basically New Game Plus without the +.

Inside a Computer System: Priest-Entity Nada believes they're in one based on the fact of how many elements repeat across the universe and that the Atlas Stones are somehow involved. The Waking Titan ARG reveals they're entirely correct. Further, as of the Atlas Rises update, and the climax of the game's story reveals this to the player character, and that the Atlas system that runs it thinks it's going to die in 16 minutes and has reset the universe numerous times to try and correct what it sees as an error.

Temporary Online Content: Expeditions are special quests in fixed parts of the Euclid galaxy that run for five weeks, and give special rewards upon completion that can be sent to every save file. All the expeditions in a given year are rerun at the end of the year, but none of them have ever been rerun after that. It's particularly likely that the second expedition, a crossover with Mass Effect, will never run again even if the other early Expeditions come back for legal reasons.

Acceptable Breaks from Reality
 No Man's Sky (Video Game) / int_b6e1d40b
comment
Acceptable Breaks from Reality: Planetary systems are geocentric, with a star orbiting the planets while the planets themselves remain static and do not rotate; doing so saved a lot of work on implementing planetary rotation, translation, planetary time, and solving the still unsolved issue of how to keep time in different planets. For that matter, there isn't even a star - just an illumination source on the map. If planets were as close to each other in real life as they are in game, there would be a lot of collisions because of gravitational pulls. This detail is ignored because it cuts down on travel time and seeing a large planet in the sky is really cool. Gas Giants were omitted for the sake of the creators wanting all planets to be explorable. Using the "summon" command will make the requested vehicle appear instantly, no matter how far away it was. This can even be done with the Space Anomaly.

Sadistic Choice: The end of the story sees the player offered one: while nothing they do can save ATLAS, there is a chance resetting the universe will ease the pain its in, the player can choose to remake the universe into a bountiful one if they so choose, and -null- is destroyed, ensuring he causes no more harm, but at the cost of destroying the existing universe. The other option is leaving things as they are, but not changing ATLAS' situation at all and -null- is still free, immortal and capable of causing more damage, potentially even reaching the Galactic Core and ATLAS sooner or later as they're still desiring to.

Robot War: Players who alter planetary ecosystems, mine resources, or kill wildlife will find themselves waging one against The Sentinels. Some Alien races and cultural history can reveal that they're been at war with the Sentinels for years and possibly centuries for various reasons. Subverted, however, in that the Sentinels are programmed to defend all life from itself-including sentient civilians, which raises the Wanted Meter as much as hurting ecosystems do. But it still offends some races such as the Vy'keen whose warlike culture is prevented from spreading to areas as desired and who also feel as though the Sentinels disturb the natural order of life.

Informed Attribute: All three of the alien races you meet are described as powerful factions that have shaped the history of the galaxy. Yet with one exception (which is noted as an aberration in-universe), you will not find any cities, never meet more than one alien at a time, and never find more than ruins or scattered encampments to mark their presence. Waking Titan implies that the Atlas Company removed the cities and such when they hit the Reset Button, and some memories from Travellers' graves indicate that the cities were all destroyed by the Sentinels.

Rags to Riches: Players starting a new game will have absolutely nothing except a basic starship and the bare necessary tools needed to survive. In the early game most of the player's time will be spent running around trying to scrounge up the necessary resources to survive. Once the player has put enough effort and hours in they can be pulling in millions of units per hour with little difficulty.

Cool Starship

comment
Cool Starship: The game has thousands, each created by Procedural Generation and each with their own stats and shapes. Larger ships are more of the "flying box" variety, while smaller craft like the ones you fly are more streamlined and divided into three different classes, and tend to lean more toward such staples of Sci-Fi like Elite and Star Wars; continuing on that one of the game's gameplay tenets focuses on gathering resources and materials to upgrade your Cool Starship so that you can explore further in the universe. Here are◊ a few◊ examples.◊ Special mention must be made of the freighters, your mobile base. The normal ones are procedurally generated like all pilotable craft, but the truly gigantic capital-class freighters follow one of two fixed design patterns, one of which is clearly based on Imperial Star Destroyers. The largest one of these◊note to put its size in perspective: those small ships near the freighter's stern are a couple dozen times larger than anything you can pilot yourself; even the freighter's tiny turrets are huge compared to your space fighter, lovingly called "Resurgent Class" by the fanbase, dwarfs any other spaceborne structure except Atlas stations, and watching these behemoths warp into a system, closely followed by their frigate flotilla, is always a sight to behold.

comment
Cosmic Horror Reveal: The game's story starts out as simply waking up on a planet and trying to explore the galaxy...but eventually reveals the universe is a simulation and the computer overseeing it is dying. The universe has been restarted several times over because of this and eventually, the multiverse ends when ATLAS finally dies. Gets even worse with "The Abyss" update: a being known as "The Abyss" is attempting to corrupt the system and dethrone the Atlas.

comment
Developer's Foresight: In the NEXT update, players were given the option to customize their player character once they reach their first space station. They can select any of the available species, including the human-like Anomaly. When the Gek is selected as the player's chosen species, in first-person mode, the viewpoint is lower than with any other species. The reason for this is because the Gek are the shortest of the species. Frigates that are sent out on an expedition don't just disappear - they will go to actual, existing star systems and even planets. In fact, the player is able to visit their frigates in the respective star system they happen to be in at a given time, and there is even a notice for when the frigates warp and leave the system.

Played even straighter by its underwater equivalent, the Alluring Specimen. Picking one up makes an angry carnivorous monster fish burst forth that can be hard to defeat for unprepared players.

"Ray of Hope" Ending: Not the main game, but one of the expedition events. The Polestar expedition ends with the player finally finding the life raft some of their home planet's refugees might have escaped on, but it is empty. Whoever was in it is long gone, and for a moment it seems like the journey was for nothing. Then the traveller notices that they left behind an engine schematic for the singularity drive. The expedition ends with the player building the drive and flinging their ship through a wormhole after them in the hopes of one day being reuinited with their people.

The actions of -null- have resulted in the deterioration of the Atlas, and the destabilization of the entire No Man's Sky universe as a whole. This breakdown manifests in-game as the "Exotic" biome-type - which results in bizarre and strange landscapes - such as the entire planet being covered in pillars of light, everything on the planet being covered in hexagonal plates - including the ground itself, ones covered in strange, mushroom-like structures, and even ones covered in what appear to be shards of screens and structure plating. Each and every one of these planets also features a collectible decoration that is referred to as "stabilised reality glitch."

Featureless Protagonist: Played straight originally, then averted. The developers originally promised that you'll be able to get an idea of what you look like from other players' descriptions, and that you'll be able to help other players you run across figure out what their player-character looks like. However the released game originally had no multiplayer and meeting other people was impossible. Now when you meet other players, they're just floating orbs. As of the "NEXT" update, players can alter their appearance at will from any space station, and they can be seen by, as well as see, other players. The closest the game comes to this following "NEXT" is with the "Anomaly" race, whose bodies and faces are concealed behind their exosuits.

Character Class System
 No Man's Sky (Video Game) / int_e4878443
comment
Character Class System: Of a sort. While the player doesn't have a class, in and of themself, starships do, and come in six types: Shuttles, which are cheap and well-rounded; Fighters, which specialize in combat and have passive damage bonuses; Haulers, which are slow but well-shielded and have the most cargo space; Explorers, which are nimble and have long-range hyperdrives; Exotic, which are very rare and expensive, but have high stats across the board; and Living Ships, a subset of Exotic ships with naturally weak shields, but several tech slots for weapons and upgrades. Future updates have added two new kinds of ships. Solar ships have the highest speed and maneuverability, while sentinel ships have generally high stats and have the exclusive ability to hover in place, but can only be obtained by repairing a crashed one found on a dissonant planet Multitools have similar classing to ships, with there being several types that each have their own stats and bonuses. Pistols, the starting multitool, have a high mining stat, but grant no bonuses to weapon systems and start with relatively few slots. Rifles start with the most slots of any multitool, but have very low stats and zero mining bonuses. Experimental and Royal multitools have the highest scan radius of any multitool, but their other stats are only average. Alien multitools have the highest overall stats of the standard multitools, but don't specialise in anything. Staff and Sentinel multitools have the highest damage boost of any multitool, but their mining bonuses are on the low end. Atlantid multitools have the highest mining bonus, but don't give much power to their weapon systems.

Gameplay and Story Integration: The Space Anomaly started out as a space station that for some reason was everywhere, where you would get sidequests and bonuses for exploring the world. As the multiplayer part was expanded and worked on, this station being "everywhere at once" turned out to be the perfect excuse for implementing a multiplayer hub station where you can meet other players across solar systems. The actions of -null- have resulted in the deterioration of the Atlas, and the destabilization of the entire No Man's Sky universe as a whole. This breakdown manifests in-game as the "Exotic" biome-type - which results in bizarre and strange landscapes - such as the entire planet being covered in pillars of light, everything on the planet being covered in hexagonal plates - including the ground itself, ones covered in strange, mushroom-like structures, and even ones covered in what appear to be shards of screens and structure plating.

The ideal response to various threats in the game requires a large amount of very expensive equipment; but until you get those items, you'll find that the adequate response to most of them is the terrain manipulator. Angry Sentinels, deadly storms, pirate attacks, and hostile environments can be survived by essentially digging a hole and pulling it in after you until your suit recharges and/or the danger has passed.

Diegetic Interface: Player ships feature displays that have some importance (for example, one screen displays your current speed and another one serves as your radar) but for the most part information is displayed via a Heads-Up Display in your suit's helmet. Diegetic HUDs: Such things as the name of the planet you're currently on and health (along with a few other unspecified elements) are projected onto your suit's helmet. Virtual Cockpit: One for your ship that displays such things as your ship's current speed and radar that combines with the diegetic Heads-Up Display mentioned above. The VR controls added in the Beyond update take this to the next level. The inventory, scanner, and build menus are controlled via holograms that appear above the player's wrists. Vehicles are controlled by grabbing in-game controls and using them (including physically lifting the cockpit to exit). Buy and sell menus become diegetic holograms projected in the air. Etcetera, etcetera.

The second "season" of Waking Titan was no less whammy. The players are victims of a Brain Uploading device gone wrong, the folks running the simulation had no clue just how big an issue it was, and ATLAS is forced to sacrifice her core personality to get out the last few people they could restore, leaving the simulation running on automatic. The player characters aren't so lucky, with their portion of the cloud network being either too damaged or disconnected to retrieve their consciousness safely, leaving them stuck in the No Man's Sky simulation.

Did you wantonly destroy that convoy of harmless freighters and their escort that had done you no harm, or start shooting up the local Space Station? You now have to deal with the local Space Police! Some of whom are Sentinels! Good luck!

Old-School Dogfight: Most, if not all, of ship-to-ship combat is this, both in space and in atmosphere.

Bigger on the Inside: The Space Anomaly space station was always this, but with its expansion in the BEYOND update, it's truly huge inside in a way that is impossible from its exterior.

What Other Galaxies?
 No Man's Sky (Video Game) / int_fee27b35
comment
What Other Galaxies?: Double Subverted. The main storyline guides the player across the vast Euclid galaxy until the Galaxy Centre is reached, which allows intergalactic traveling. Nevertheless, it's discovered that the universe is in need of resetting and that means replacing the Euclid with another kind of galaxy. Therefore, the countless other galaxies are just parallel iterations of the original Euclid. After all, they are all simulations generated by the same AI, the Atlas.

Item Crafting: Using collected resources the player can craft single use items such as system bypasses or grenades, or longer term upgrades to their ship, suit and multitool, vital for surviving on certain planets and for getting to the centre of the galaxy faster.

Everything Trying to Kill You
 No Man's Sky (Video Game) / int_ffd816e7
comment
Everything Trying to Kill You: Being a Wide-Open Sandbox survival game, there are many dangers present. The most common threat are the Sentinels. Other dangers include hostile wildlife, dangerous plant life that can physically attack you in defense and release toxic gas, extreme weather, drowning in oceans, running low on life support, radioactive environments, toxic atmospheres, unbreathable atmospheres that drain your life support systems quickly, falling to your death, and Space Pirate raids when you are off-planet (not to mention Biological Horrors). When you are playing on Permadeath mode, any of these things can result in your save file being deleted.
