It’s tough to explain just how vast No Man’s Sky actually is.

Hello Games’ space exploration epic has an entire universe of planets to explore. How many, roughly? Eighteen quintillion.

Just writing those words can’t paint the whole picture. Try the number instead: 18,446,744,073,709,551,616. That’s not just big - it’s quite literally astronomical.

There was never any chance of one person seeing it all - which made this review a little tricky.

We’ve spent an entire week traversing the interstellar abyss, but have still only seen a miniscule amount of what No Man's Sky is hiding on its insane number of procedurally-generated planets.

Even with a meagre few thousand parsecs on the spaceship milometer, though, it's clear what type of gamer is going to love getting lost in the near-infinite depths of space.
