10 Essential Console Games for 2016

2. No Man's Sky

No Man's Sky is an entirely different type of game altogether. In this first-person open world survival game, players can explore the entire universe with a few tools and a spacecraft that is used for interstellar travel. This game truly embodies what it might be like to play a game with the entire universe at your disposal. This game features over 18 Quintillion planets, many with unique landforms, creatures, and vegetation. To put it into perspective for you, the sheer size of this open world platform game, one billion times one thousand is one trillion. One trillion times one thousand is one quadrillion, and one quadrillion times one thousand is one quintillion. One quintillion times eighteen is how much exploring you can do within this game. It will certainly keep you busy for a few days. Players are able to set up colonies on new planets, mine resources, form alliances with other factions and trade resources amongst themselves, and explore. The game is the first of its kind with respects to the procedurally generated universe that players are able to explore by jumping through hyperspace jumping which is a truly interesting concept that NASA needs to hurry up and consider already.
