No it isn’t the best version of no man’s sky but it’s definitely one of the best ways to play it when you consider it’s portability aspect and the form factor of the switch and it’s definitely one of the most impressive versions technically when you think it’s running on the switch which at this point is outdated 2016 mobile hardware.

Basically no game is better on switch. We are aware of that, we just want to be able to play the games

as someone who doesn't care about multiplayer, it's worth it. i usually play games in story mode or offline mode, so it's not a deal breaker for me. and it's understandable to why they didn't include multiplayer, probably because the game size would be larger and they had to downgrade the game more to fit multiplayer mode.

Worth it if you like this developer. Personally I love that they have continued to support this game and bring the features. They promised the fact that the fit the whole game on the switch and didn’t leave things out is huge. I will happily pay full price to support these guys and their efforts.

I'd still go with the switch. Its been a lot of fun so far and portability when you have a family is essential. The steam deck is good in theory but the battery life in comparison, the OLED just wins.

Absolutely idiotic to compare it to consoles or Steam Deck. Of course there are sacrifices to be made but its a fantastic port.

Lack of large settlements is a bummer but otherwise I'm pretty happy with it so far.

I don't care if it's a little fuzzy. Playing this amazing game on the go is insane

No mention of the large frame drops/stutter on Deck. Are your eyes broken?

i mean most people dont have or havent heard of a steam deck compared to switch so the main minuses are the price and no multiplayer for switch... for now. its a great pickup imo, especially if you find it on sale later on.

I got the game physically for £32 Inc postage,that's a good price for a switch game And I can play,keep and use that cart on the multiple switch consoles my family have as we do share all the game carts,it can be re sold if no one plays it I'm amazed by it,we can't afford steam deck and it's too early to buy into the deck right now anyway for me The only gripe is online mode,I would really want to play with at least 1 friend online from time to time,we live in 2022 for goodness sake so I hope the game sells well and the developers give us some type of multiplayer

Aside from multiplayer, are there any other features/updates/etc present in the console/steam versions that are NOT present on Switch?

Mine has had a really bad problem with crashing. I got to 25 hours of gameplay and it won’t even boot up for more than a minute before crashing. I created another profile and the same happened after 3 hours. I’ve contacted Nintendo support and went through everything with them and it’s still happening. I’m just curious if it’s a widespread problem or if I have terrible luck

Definitely not the best version but still an incredible feat. Render distance took a big hit. Lots of mining delays. Glitching here and there, but nothing game breaking so far. I’m amazed that I’m able to play this game on my Switch. I never thought it would happen. Now I just need RDR2.

I think it might be worth picking it up (at least digitally) especially if I were to game share with another console (my older and younger brother share a Switch). This essentially makes the price $30 for each console (total $60).

I only have two major issues with the switch version. 1. Base items take too long to load in. I can stand inside my Base for almost 30 seconds before anything loads. 2. Multiplayer is missing.

Got it on my Steam Deck, just bought it for Switch. I prefer Switch. Dunno why. Just feels so good.

Can i load my progress on steam to switch version and vice versa?

I like he compared visuals but the planets are completely different ones icy and ones floral especting it to look similar lmao 🤣

I don't think most Switch multiplatform games are the best version, nor do I think people expect them to be, but that's not what makes them worth it either. What makes Switch ports so special is that you get a fully portable version of a game without having to buy something like a Steam Deck if you don't own one.

I agree it's your opinion that it's probably not worth it on Switch but think what it's doing to younger people who haven't got all the mid to high end Pcs and xbox or play stations to play on, and they only have a Nintendo Switch. It's putting hell of a pressure on parents when their kids are saying that they want a more powerful device PC or xbox to play No Man's Sky on. Personally I have this game on Switch since launch and put around 15hrs or so into it and found it a decent port also have Cities Skylines which some say "not a good port for the Switch, need to play it on a PC or console for better graphics etc." a better comment should have been if the Switch is the only device you have then it's not a bad port. Think about the younger people who watch your KZfaq videos and the parents. Rant over.

do you know how can i claim the free ship on switch?

I've had no man's sky on Nintendo Switch since it's release It's a really Good Game. the only thing I would like better is for the game to be 4K or 1080p. If you are playing No Man's Sky for the first time the multiple player will not ruin the game because there is plenty of Single play Content and weekly single player modes online.

I have 25 hours on switch, absolutely love this version.

I got the game for £34 in the UK ($37). Essentially half price. And that was as a physical cartridge. Also I do think that comparing it to playing on a Steam Deck is a bit silly. Considering how you have to manually optimise the game yourself, and even then still suffer crashes and stuttering. Also, the Steam deck, Series X and PS5 are double the price of the standard Switch. Sure, the game costs more to download. But it balances out.

Can you make a hollow knight lets play

I think the game is worth it but as someone who already plays this game on PS4. I’m just going to wait for a price drop before getting it on my switch.

Can you play without Nintendo online?

Game just got an FSR 2 update on the Switch.

To be fair , they never said there would be multiplayer before released .

You gotta remember that there will be updates coming to switch for gyro and multiplayer 🙏🏽👍🏾

I really would like gryo controls. I'm not a good stick-aimer.

It's £39.99 in the UK

steam deck has multiplayer bases are also limited on switch .

Russel we need a video on the game STRAY for ps5

Too bad the waypoint updates still hasn't released on switch yet

Multiplayer is a dealbreaker for me. I may still get it when it’s on sale but I really want it to be able to play with friends. Never played it before but I’ve always enjoyed it when friends play it.

80hrs in and switch version is great

I play on PC at lowest graphic settings anyway.

Switch version is really good and it's portable. Obviously the textures ain't as good but whatever. I can play this on a train and didn't have to drop my life savings on a steamer deck.

4.0 isn’t out on Switch yet. So what we are currently playing isn’t the optimal version as Hellogames intended.

Idk man, $60 for a game that struggles to actually do 30fps among other noticable things it's pretty rough. There was a heck of a lot of sugarcoating here.

Dude the switch version doesn't have capes I'm so sad

It may be the best version if you can't sit down to play. I have the ps5 version and clearly it's amazing. But I'm too busy to do that. So switch wins. It's my life. Will wait for sale, have too much on

Series X is probably the best platform. It's on Game Pass (for now), and supports Quick Resume, even despite it's online functionality. I'll probably still buy a Switch copy at some point. I also have a PS4 copy (I've never played).

I brought it digitally with a pre-order price guarantee. It has everything but multi-player, it came to £43.49!

I love the switch and great that this game is on it, but of course steam deck is better, and if you get a dock you can play it in higher resolutions and with mouse and keyboard if you want. And, of course, you also have the option to continue your cloud save on a full beef gaming PC and VR. So steam wins easily.

Don't buy it unless u like long load times and freezing an insane amount...no joke

Comment to boost engagement.

this version is also missing the settlement content. You cant oversee and manage a settlement of npcs.

I actually kind of like the fact theres no multiplayer- you’re not gonna start a new character then get gifted 55 Billion credits by some anon in the anomaly completely ruining any kind of meaningful, natural progression. Only thing stopping me is the price is way too high for something that i can play at a higher quality for free,

There is cheat for 60fps with Switch overclock

if you have a steam deck go get it on the deck. my next gaming device will definitely be steamdeck

Has anybody been having issues with crashing? I bought this game recently and was excited to play but I’ve been attempting to build a massive base and It just keeps crashing

I'm learning english, please talk to me (來自中國的問候，大家）

Dude, I've paid 60 for games that came out 20 years ago GTA trilogy. So yeah I don't think the price is gonna stop me, I already bought it

We don’t need background on this game, everyone knows the story. No one clicked on the video because of how the game was in the past, we clicked because of how the award winning game is at present. No one in their right mind is thinking the Switch is the best place to play this. If you have a console,pc or steam deck, those are the best places to play. The Switch version is for folks who only have a Switch as their console or Switch as their only handheld.

I can't get a steam deck, there still over a thousand bucks cuz of scalpers 😒

Steam deck is barely relevant. Only 0.1% of switch installbase

You only talk and no technical specs.

No, it is a joke one switch compare to steamDeck

Switch version isn't even worth 20

People paid money for an unfinished game Again

It is the best way to play no man's sky for a reason: a moddable switch is an overclockable switch (switch natively runs underclocked). Steam deck? That thing id crappy and shitty

No.
