"No Man's Sky's Slow but Steady Climb: Celebrating a 1% Improvement in Steam Reviews"
TL;DR
Sean Murray, head of Hello Games, celebrated No Man's Sky's 1% improvement in its "All Reviews" rating on Steam, noting the increasing difficulty of earning each point as more reviews are added. With nearly 224,000 reviews, the game's redemption arc and its developer's reputation make an 80% score less existentially important, unlike for more obscure developers. The studio's upcoming RPG, Light No Fire, is anticipated to have a shorter path to acclaim, with Murray's grandiose claims and the game's success already setting high expectations.
