No Man’s Sky turned into No Man’s Sleep for me

I started playing No Man’s Sky yesterday after years of anticipation and hype, and while I’ve only scraped the crust of this universe-sized enigma, it has its hooks into me.

Developer Hello Games’ impossibly large space-exploration game is out now on PlayStation 4, and I’ve put around 8 hours into it after staying up until dawn this morning. I couldn’t pull myself away. While my review is still a long ways off, I want to give you my early thoughts about one of 2016’s biggest releases. I’m loving what I’ve played. It has a strong forward momentum. You can’t help but perpetually working at the next task on your to-do list, and the sense of scale is mesmerizing.
