My nephew asked me to get no man's sky when it was coming out and I said "It's going to be a really boring game". He didn't believe me and just gave me the money to get it. He was so disappointed that he refuses to play it now after the update.
I preordered No Mans Sky without knowing anything about it other than that it was really big and in space, didn't care much for the hype. And it was, so I enjoyed it. The new updates have made it go from just a neat spaceship simulator to an excellent exploration game
