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 am loving it so far.
I've got it on PS4 and have about 50 hours clocked so far. I've not felt the sense of scale in the size of the universe since the days of Frontier: Elite 2, which had a similarly sized universe, but was uglier and less varied. I enjoy the complete sense of freedom and the excitement of what's to come on the next planet or star system. I've been pleasantly surprised so far with the variety and the universe feels very cold and desolate, with the odd oasis in there.
It also reminds me lot of Out There, which I played on my phone, in that its a survival game that forces you to make decisions and be tactical with your inventory. You sometimes have to make a tough decision about what is more important to take with you, which can mean dumping something you'll need half an hour later or something that would have got you a few credits from a trader.
I like that the game makes little adventures and stories for you. So, for example, last night I was attacked by Pirates. I fought them off but it damaged my ship considerably. Critical damage warnings constantly. I had to land to make get resources for repairs. When I had landed I realised that I was on a very toxic planet with no supplies, no fuel in my launch engines and a Pulse Drive, Hyper Drive and Shield system that was in desperate need of repair. I left the ship, but the temperature at night time was so low that I had to wait until it was day time to make a run for a point of interest nearby. Getting there, heat was still a problem. I managed to eventually find a cave system and get enough resources to fix my Pulse Drive and refill my Launch Thrusters and found another, less hostile world, where I was able to gather enough resources to move on.
I also feel like I've only scratched the surface.
