Cyberpunk 2077 vs No Man’s Sky
Cyberpunk 2077
Cyberpunk 2077 is one of the most revolutionary open-world adventures today and that's not all too surprising since it is created by the makers of the renowned The Witcher game series.In this game, you play as a V, a cyber-enhanced mercenary roaming the streets of Night City, a bustling metropolis riddled with crime, and its inhabitants, obsessed with power. Your actions and decisions will shape the story and the world around you, as well as the fate of the NPCs and other noteworthy characters you’ll encounter, like Judy Alvarez and Johnny Silverhand, who is played by Keanu Reeves. Exploring the neon-illuminated streets of Night City will lead you to interact with various factions, from corporate giants to gangs vying for power in the underground, that will give you quests and countless activities to do.
As V, you’ll have access to a massive collection of weapons and cybernetic enhancements designed to aid you in combat and in your quest to look for the implant that is key to immortality. The game has a massive collection of customization options, letting you change how V looks on a whim. Moreover, your implants and skills will decide your builds and overall playstyle. Whether you want to be a silent pistol assassin or be an all-out brawler, the choice is yours.
No Man’s Sky
No Man’s Sky has had a really rough start but thankfully the game developers have the integrity and the determination to continue the development of their game and honestly, despite the fact that the game still needs plenty of work, it has improved a lot since it was first released. The game is a sci-fi-themed, procedurally-generated planet and space exploration game where you can not only gather resources to craft and build your base but also learn how to communicate with sentient aliens or hunt non-sentient ones. You can also literally play any role you like, be it as a trader, an explorer or a bounty hunter.The galaxy itself feels very much alive due to the many factors in play - space pirates plundering unwary traders, various factions fighting to secure new territories, and more, aside from the fact that you'll be playing with other players in the same galaxy. Due to its procedural generation, every new planet you land on will always have a whole new ecosystem that you have never seen before, but like many players have noted, you still get the feeling that the creatures and the planet itself look familiar enough to discredit whatever differences they have. However, the best part about the game is perhaps its fragmented storyline - a plot that has to be assembled piece by piece as you explore the many worlds the game has to offer.
Many fans of the game has touted No Man's Sky as a first-person Starbound, but whether that's true or not, well, it's up to you to decide. The game can be pretty costly to buy at its original price considering that the game feels a lot like a work-in-progress, but if you can get it cheap, then the game is worth the experience.
