Hype Title No Man’s Sky has to take some heat in the latest Honest Trailer.
The “Honest Trailer” by Smosh Games is also mean to really good games. A title that has strong issues at launch and does not meet what players expect or what was promised can brace itself for a beating.
The satire format uses the typically exaggerated epic style of trailers from the entertainment industry, but does not say any promotional, nice things, instead distributing a nasty, satirically sharpened form of “truth.”
No Man’s Sky is said to be a feature-rich screensaver that could have benefited from a few more years of development time. However, it does one thing exactly right: it captures the aspect of space travel perfectly – crushing loneliness. Because the promised multiplayer was, it is said, a lie – just like some other hinted features. In the end, No Man’s Sky is casually renamed to Big Fat Lie – a big, fat lie.
Heavy stuff! If you want to read what our community thinks about the game:
