I think many remember the game No Man’s Sky, which was released on August 12, 2016, and suffered a collapse from the critics of the players. It was considered disappointing and boring. However, the developers of Hello games did not give up; on the contrary, having listened to the negative reviews of gamers, they began to improve the game and its content. The work over 8 years was not in vain and now the overall rating of No Man’s Sky on Steam has become “very positive” and is 80%.
This is not the end of the game’s achievements; on the contrary, it has flourished thanks to the support of the players. Soon, on December 13, the award ceremony of The Game Awards 2024 is expected, and No Man’s Sky will have a chance to win the nomination “Best Community Support”. In this nomination, the game will be up against such “gaming monsters” as Fortnite, Baldur’s Gate III, Final Fantasy XIV, and Helldivers 2.
And that’s not all. Players will have until December 4, 2024, to nominate the game for the “Favorite Child” award on Steam for the best content support. This is what it means to give a second chance to a game that was initially rated low. The patience and work of the developers deserve special respect and are examples of how you can achieve a goal despite the hate and how you can use negative criticism to your advantage.
