No Man's Sky Xeno Arena update feels like "a really great and simplified Pokemon clone," fans say, and is basically "a whole new game" to play within the survival gem

No Man's Sky creatures.

A couple of days have passed since No Man's Sky received its new Xeno Arena update, and that means the community has had more than enough time to get a first taste of its Pokemon and Palworld-esque creature battling system – a system that's already proving popular.

In case you're out of the loop, the Xeno Arena update dropped on April 8, adding a pet-battling system that's reminiscent of creature-collectors like Palworld, Pokemon, and the like. It's certainly an unexpected addition to the space exploration and survival game, but it does finally give us more incentive to uncover new fauna – and it looks like fans are more than pleased with its content so far (me included, honestly).
