They’re different in practice, it’s hard not to draw comparisons between No Man’s Sky and Starfield. Both are ambitious space games. Both arrived with a firestorm of hype. And both of them, at launch at least, were disappointing. Starfield Shattered Space could mark the beginning of a comeback for Bethesda’s RPG. Eight years since launch, however, Hello Games’ NMS is at the end of its recovery, securing a place in the annals of videogame rebound stories alongside Cyberpunk 2077 and Fallout 76. But the new No Man’s Sky update imagines something very different. No added quests. No extra material. No…anything.
