Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
105 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Hello Games turned No Man's Sky from a boring, purposeless single player slog (2016) into an incredibly robust gaming experience complete with multiplayer, crafting, open-world survival, thousands of bug fixes and even a bunch of newly developed in-game systems; much of this happening in the first two years post-launch.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
54 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Co-op Without Commitment: Team up for bosses or nukes with friends (or randos), share loot, revive each other—feels great for occasional group play, but solo's viable too.
