On Tuesday, I loaded up No Man’s Sky for the first time in nearly two years, and I was incredibly confused. If, like me, you’re coming back to the game after a long hiatus, lured in by the promise of multiplayer, then prepare for a steep learning curve. 

No Man’s Sky NEXT is basically a new game, full stop. Practically everything has changed, with even simple refuelling now requiring a more complex crafting process. I envy anyone lured in by the update to play No Man’s Sky for the first time - this is the game it should have been at launch, packed with missions, storylines, building opportunities and trading goods, all covered in layers of graphical flourish and topped off with that coveted multiplayer mode.

If you've the itch to fly out into the void, these are the best space games on PC.

As someone who bought the game at launch, I can’t help but feel a little bit cheesed off that almost all of my progress has been undone - even the planets I so carefully named have been written over with procedurally generated monikers.

My save indicated that I last played the game in November 2016, and a hell of a lot has changed since then. For a start, most of my stuff has gone. My multi-tool and exosuit were littered with icons saying ‘obsolete technology’, with the only option to dismantle them into ‘technology modules’ (which can be sold for a whopping 50,000 units). It seems the entire tech tree has completely changed, and even the raw materials are unfamiliar - plutonium is gone, for example, replaced by di-hydrogen crystals.
