Leon, James, Rich and Patreon posters tell tales of adventure in this practically infinite possibility space.
It’s rare for us to review a 10 year-old game that’s still in active development, but here we are. Much has already been said about the majestic comeback story that is No Man’s Sky – and we do touch upon that here – but we mainly wanted to discuss what we did and didn’t enjoy about playing the game in its 2026 form.
