Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?

Just started No man sky, first play through. I’m still not sure what I think of it. It seems too be a time guzzler. On one hand it must be entertaining because 4 hours past in the blink of an eye. On the other I don’t feel like I’ve done or seen much. Time seem to be the main currency behind most things you do .

No Mans Sky is totally a time guzzler. It’s incredible how easy it is for hours and hours to go by like it’s nothing. It’s a really fun game though, and I’ve sunk hundreds of hours into it.
I did one playthrough shortly after it came out doing things the way you’re supposed to, and then I decided to just have fun with it and started using a save editor to give myself all the resources that take ages to farm or craft. That was a game changer. It’s so much more fun when I can just explore and build without having to worry about not having enough fuel for my jetpack, or not being able to finish a building because I don’t have enough resources for that one last piece of glass, or having to salvage a fuckton of ships just to open up inventory slots.
So if the game ever starts to feel like work for you, I suggest using a save editor and going to town. The devs don’t seem to have much of a problem with it, and it really opens up the game.
