Hello Games just made a free update to their singleplayer puzzle game too

April 9, 2021RockPaperShotgun

Hello Games, the same folks behind No Man’s Sky, launched a smaller puzzle adventure game last year that you may have missed hearing about.

I know we’ve gotten quite used to the regular updates to their online space adventure, but should we tell them they don’t actually need to do that for a singleplayer game? Okay, nah, let’s not tell them. Read more

March 31, 2021RockPaperShotgun

As it does, No Man’s Sky has expanded its universe with a biggo new update. This time, it’s beefed up with a brand new game mode called Expeditions. A bit like a seasonal event, Expeditions give players a bunch of time-limited goals and set them off along the same path together. They seem like they’ll channel the energy of some massive community scavenger hunt, everyone knocking around close to one another as they zip from goal to goal, which actually sounds like good fun. The first Expedition has just kicked off and is set to run for two months. Read…

No Man’s Sky is in for yet another update to its giant spacefaring simulation sometime next week, Hello games say.

That won’t stop me from taking some guesses based on the new artwork though, now will it? (more…)

Whole procedural planets can be explored, bases built, ships outfitted, and more.
