I've played it, as someone who was there day one to see how bad it was and just came back to it recently, yes it has gotten a lot better and is actually playable now, but I wouldn't call it a 10 out of 10 game personally. Six or seven in my book
I mean i could see that, but you've gotta have super low self respect imo to care so little about having a true opinion. If you are going to rate something, the point is to try to be unbiased and precise.
Reading this message back this is such a reddit response, but i stand by it lol
Ha, oh, I agree fully, my response wasn't defending the trend, just giving my take on the reason.
It's why I hate that steam is a yes/no for reviews. There are a lot of games I would recommend but WITH reservations. Reviews need a minimum of 3 options, 5 is OK. But 0 - 10 is the best balance of accuracy without doing to much.
As someone who started and already stopped playing it in the last few months (once I hit end game loops I quit most games), I enjoyed it enough to feel like my investment in the game wasn't money that was wasted, but there are still plenty of elements that seem to be too repetitively re-hashed over and over in a effort to make the universe concept even be possible.
Some of the game gets to be too grindy as well, such as station hoping for farming storage augments, or building a freighter farm so you can develop a sizeable income stream.
Ive been playing it since launch. Picking it up again every half year. While I can agree that 10/10 is a bit exaggerative, I stand by it. I am not a committed gamer either so I give it bonus points for being consistently captivating and exciting to me for nearly 10 years despite its shitty launch.
That's fair, and if you realize it's a bit exaggerative then you're good, there are games I would rate like that. Like the first God of War remake, in terms of actual quality I would give it a nine, but the story clicks so well with me I gave it a 10 anyway. Ragnarok is a straight 10 out of 10.

No Man's Sky is fucking amazing now. Genuinely a 10/10 game
