No Man’s Sky vs Novus Inceptio
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.
Novus Inceptio
Novus Inceptio has all the hallmarks of a great sandbox game in the making, despite still being in early access. Aside from its mysterious sci-fi theme, the game features a variety of fun anomalies (mini-worlds) where you can discover, explore and possibly piece together story snippets about the stuff that had happened in the past. The game also has a more complex and in-depth crafting system, auto-harvesting feature, and a potentially fun underwater exploration/harvesting aspect that will definitely elevate the overall gameplay quality. However, the developers definitely need to make sure the game’s fundamental features, such as its action-based combat system.In addition to being an indie game, Novus Inceptio is also a work-in-progress. However, from what can be seen and experienced, it already has most of the winning features it needs to “make it” in the sandbox genre. It has a very interesting anomaly game concept that allows players to discover and explore multiple mini-worlds. It also offers an in-depth crafting system and farming, though its building and combat aspects are still pretty rudimentary. If you enjoy playing survival/sandbox games, Novus Inceptio is a breathtaking game that you wouldn’t want to miss!
