There isn’t any better commercial for the virtues of persistence than No Man’s Sky. The sport was an underwhelming fart when it first launched again in 2016. Now it’s among the best titles round, because of persevering with help by developer Hey Video games. The corporate simply dropped a shock Halloween-themed replace and it’s fairly darned cool.
The most recent launch is named The Cursed and it’s crammed to the brim with creepy stuff to expertise. There’s an entire new “twilight universe” the place “players will fight to keep a grip on reality while haunted by visions and voices from another dimension.” Time can shift unexpectedly and gamers might encounter “spectral anomalies.” There’s additionally no FTL on this twisted realm, forcing gamers to strategically use the traditional portal community.
This type of reality-bending nonsense appears plucked straight out of the Gamecube traditional Everlasting Darkness or, extra just lately, the horror fishing sim Dredge. I’m very a lot right here for it.
To navigate this cursed area, there’s a brand new ship to pilot. The Boundary Herald Starship is a legit flying saucer, produced from a “Giger-esque coil of tubes, pipeworks and engines.” It’s an actual magnificence and the developer’s first try at designing a retro-style spaceship. The replace additionally contains bioluminescent pets and a brand new exosuit.
It is a limited-time occasion, as gamers will solely have round three weeks to discover this twilight universe. Nevertheless, the glow-in-the-dark pets, up to date exosuit and, fortunately, the flying saucer are right here to remain.
That is simply the newest gameplay replace for No Man’s Sky. Up to now, there have been over 35 main named updates and plenty of extra medium-sized patches and the like. In latest months, the builders added the flexibility to fish and built-in new climate programs.
