Have you guys been playing No Man's Sky? If so what has your experience with the game been so far? What could the creators do better? Does the game suck?
I've been playing and so far I've found myself just exploring planets for hours and I feel like I'm barely scratching the surface.
I did not think that traveling in and out of planets would be so rewarding and the scale of the game, distance, travel is capture amazingly well in my opinion. The feeling of how massive the galaxy is really amazes me and it's not something I've experienced in any game before.
Space battles/travel so far are very rewarding and give the game a different experience from the normal planetary exploration gameplay, although the lack of multiplayer make it feel more empty than I would like.
A few complaints:
Lack of multiplayer (feels so empty)
No clear indication of goals
Launch glitches (playing on PC)
Difficult to find certain items needed to progress
I'd love to hear your first impressions in the game.

I was hyped for this game more than a year ago, and since then went on a dramatic roller coaster of interest in it. Right up until launch I was still unsure if I was going to get it right away or not. I knew I was going to get it, but I was still really into another game and had big plans for the weekend that allowed for little gaming time. In the end, I got it.
I played for a handful of hours over the weekend, and I admit that I've never played a game like it. I love open explorer games, but I was left with a feeling of 'and then what'. A lot of my initial concern and cause for my pre-launch interest roller coaster was with the depth beyond exploration. As I played, and made some money and discovered stuff and learned some words, I found that the depth left a bit to be desired. Ultimately, it just seemed like grinding for money to increase room for more money grinding. That said, the initial draw for me was the exploration potential, which this game certainly provides.
I think this will be a game that I play a lot over the coming years, but also something that I can wait to play until I run out of interest in other games. As they add things I could see my interest increasing, but I'm not sure that I would pay for those updates. As it sits now, I'm satisfied that the game is what I expected it to be when coughing up the dough. On the other hand, it just doesn't seem to be deep enough to capture my current interest.
So far the best review I've read sums up my current opinion describing it as "A mile wide, but an inch deep".
