No Man’s Sky – Expectations vs. Reality

No_Mans_Sky_Dino

Nearly a week into its release, No Man’s Sky, the AAA indie title from Hello Games, continues to divide critics and gamers. Is the game a completely unique vision that gives you a calming, yet fleeting, lonely sense within the universe or is it just boring? No matter where you fall on that, you can’t deny the team’s grand ambition which has brought with it near-endless planets and creatures to explore.

But is it what you thought it be? One fan made video that’s been popping up all over my feed helps put the game and its hype into context, and it’s hilarious.

Of course it’s worth pointing out that somewhere in those 1.8 quintillion planets within the game, both sets of creatures from the video above exist. It’s just not always guaranteed that you’ll run into their prettier version first.
