No Man's Sky

6 stories
No Man's Sky uses the Traveller exploring a procedurally generated universe to shape the tone and structure of an exploration and survival game, with the main interaction built around survival hazard management. The rules bring together survival hazard management, planetary exploration, and crafting and technology upgrades, so progress depends on clear input and an understanding of the underlying rules.

Preservation work can document planetary exploration and crafting and technology upgrades, with attention to usability, feedback and progression. Preservation coverage should note the Windows PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One versions and multi-tool equipment across confirmed editions.
