No Man’s Sky: How to Leave your Mark on the Universe
The universe is overflowing with intelligent life, and yet No Man's Sky is an oppressively lonely journey. It's no wonder Hello Games' grand sci-fi adventure is about discovery -- in the isolation of space, at the ends of the universe, everyone is searching for purpose.

The truth is out there.
