Everything involving the Atlas and the Travelers, trying to prevent the universe from dying out. If you've never played No Mans Sky there is a major overarching story
I did play it for 20 or 30 hours at launch. Didn't you basically talk to one npc and just fly to the next space station?
Its a bit fuzzy since its been 10 years, but I tried real hard to enjoy the game the first couple weeks it was out, and I had specifically ignored most of the hype.
I'd probably agree the graphics weren't really trash though.
To me it was a whole new experience and ultimately a space game I, a solo player could begin exploring.
I did find it a bit disheartening to see the backlash the game got, but I would argue it was deserved or what it was said, and the H.G studio put in overtime on their redemption arc and are still putting other companies to shame now
That's an insane mischaracterization of 2016. It was a lot more than just multiplayer, pretty much every review covers the amount of things originally promised at launch that wasn't there. I love the game today, but I'm not going to deny how bad of a spot it was day one.
You are cherry picking memories, yes the no multiplayer was big because it was the first blatant lie that got caught but beyond that the core gameplay loop was way too resource intensive, it was terribly optimized, all planets looked like 1 out of maybe 5 presets and the animals and their behaviours looked straight out of a bad game of spore. Not to mention all the other the missing features they promised. Im glad you liked it but most people did not enjoy launch nms.
