No Man's Sky - Nintendo Switch

I'd like to preface my review for the Switch version of No Man's Sky by saying that I've logged over 700 hours on the Xbox One version of this game.After nearly 10 hours on the Switch version I've not encountered any of the issues others have stated in their reviews nor the issues I've personally experienced in playing the Xbox One version. This version is FAR AND AWAY superior to the Xbox One version and no one can tell me otherwise.I've not had a single crash; a single loss of texture or instance of "pop-in; a single instance where I have to circle my base for several minutes before I can land because base parts, terrain and textures haven't loaded; no graphical issues whatsoever. On XB my game would crash when trying to load in a base and other normal things you do in-game. Multiplayer is laughable across the board so I'm glad that Hello Games decided to forego it on Switch to better use that memory elsewhere.I have the physical cartridge and I'm willing to bet that's a large part of why the performance is so much better than XB but also better than some other Switch players who have digital copies. Loading and operating is always better with physical media, especially cartridge media over disc. Even though I'm having to start back at square one (after my Xbox decided to sign off permanently) and lose my 700+ hours of gameplay, this experience already seems as if it will be more pleasant.If you're hesitant because of other reviews complaining about graphics - after player both Xbox One and Switch versions on the same 4K TV, the Switch version looks better than the XB version and maintains its textures and framerate better. Performance is better, less lagging, no crashes etc. Looks and plays great in handheld mode too.GET THE PHYSICAL COPY, GET AWAY FROM DIGITAL COPIES OF GAMES. With physical, you have the cartridge/disc/etc on hand and it also runs better.

Amazing Sci fi game with awesome building aspects.Updates every month for fixes and major updates still rolling in.

Great game!

Ive been playing this pretty steady for a week now, and I'm enjoying it. I appreciate that this version is not multiplayer, and I hope we get to keep that option.Some improvements I'd like to see are quest icons that you can follow and immediately recognize for what they are, and an easy to read map - not only for space, but for each planet too. You know Bethesda is going to have those, so step it up Hello Games. Also, the main story quest is not particularly engaging. The radiant faction quests are pretty fun though, as are the freighter/frigate missions.

Husband is addicted. He has been playing it nonstop. I really like watching him play, the graphics are awesome and there is an infinite amount of things to do!

This game is exceptional and receives my highest recommendation. I haven't experienced such immersive gameplay in quite some time.

If i could give this game more stars, I would. There is so much to do here. There is always free updates. No micro purchases. Different level to choose from. You can explore, build, sell, buy. Get Different spaceships. There are so many planets and start systems. Simply amazing!

Received a physical cartridge as expected with USA region code. Game also runs surprisingly well on Switch 1. Some lag at bases and when editing terrain but overall runs really well.
