Starfield hasn’t hurt No Man’s Sky’s popularity – it may have even helped it (www.vg247.com)

No Man's Sky has had a great month, coincidentally around the launch of the other big space adventure of the day.

No Man's Sky has been one of the best examples of a video redemption story, and developer Hello Games never stopped expanding the game with new content, and more features. Just recently, the procedural space adventure celebrated its seventh anniversary with the Echoes update, and it doesn't look like there's an end in sight to this support.

But do these updates bring back players? The answer is an emphatic yes! Hello Games founder, Sean Murray, recently revealed that No Man's Sky is having "its biggest month in the last few years." Interestingly, this is happening across all platforms where No Man's Sky is available - so PC, consoles, Mac, and even VR.

"I have never played the game but here are my strong opinions about it." is the sort of commentary I'm seeing more and more of these days.

And I have to say, it's not something I'm a huge fan of.

Fair enough, but there's a difference between reading headlines/articles to make a judgement, and watching actual real-time gameplay for several hours to make a judgement. The only difference was that I wasn't the one holding the controller. If several hours of uninterrupted unedited gameplay isn't enough to make a surface-level observation, I'm not sure what is.

Plus, I was just saying how what I saw made me feel, and I said I'd rather play one game over another. If we want to talk about unnecessarily strong opinions, let's start with you attempting to shut down my honest two cents to reinforce your negative worldview. Let's all be kind to each other, okay? :)

As the price of games continues to sky-rocket my backlog continues to grow.

At this pace I'll maybe play Starfeild before I die.
