No Man’s Sky is a first person, open world survival game. Players take the role of a planetary explorer in an uncharted universe where every planet, animal and event is procedurally generated. The game consists of flying in a spaceship through the galaxy, finding a new planet, exploring/scanning its flora and fauna for new species, mining resources, and setting off towards a new planet. Alien factions roam the galaxy as well. They are either friendly or hostile, based on the player’s actions. The goal of the game is simply to explore the galaxy, charting planets, lifeforms and ecosystems, and uploading them to the galactic database, ‘The Atlas’.
