No Mans Sky: Next - PS4 Compilation (Fresh Start)


Published July 25, 2018

No Man's Sky was released 2 years ago on PS4 and I played dozens of hours when it first came out.  Then I took a break until the new updates came out.  It's been a year since then and I decided to start fresh from a brand new save with the NEXT update.  I'm relearning the game from scratch and so much has changed from when I first started! I love the new changes even if I'm really rusty.  I'm very happy that this games feels brand new and I didn't have to pay for more updates. All of these are free with purchase of the game!

This is a compilation of game play from my Twitch channel recorded July 24, 2018.
