The launch of No Mans Sky was met with a lot of disappointment due to the incredible amount of hype surrounding a game what was being developed by a very small studio. In the months and years following the games launch, several patches have been released that have turned this into the game that people expected it to be at launch.
No Mans Sky may have been overly ambitious with the giant procedural generated universe, but the core game had a lot going for it. Are there any other games like No Mans Sky that follow the same idea but maybe with different settings?
Evochron Legacy
Edge of Space
Kerbal Space Program
Minecraft
This game is a lot more like No Mans Sky than you might initially think. There is extensive exploration across a massive procedurally generated world. There is a heavy focus on resource gathering and survival and there is a similar sense of adventure. Obviously the gameplay and visuals are far from each other but thats a good thing. Why play an exact clone?
