The Days Before 'No Man's Sky'

I'm enjoying a bit of time before the release of this cunningly large 'Adventure Survival' space sim to think for a moment about what I really want from such a beast... (especially as I'm doing ok for survival in the real world). The answers are the usual: freedom, yes, but also a decent balance between gameplay possibility and sustained interest. You can read more in my article for Dark Zero. I'll also do an initial review hopefully in the last days of June. Stand by!
