If you've been seeing more No Man's Sky chatter on your feeds than usual, there's a big reason for that: Voyagers. Hello Games' open-world survival-craft that spans the cosmos released one of its biggest updates yet last month, making No Man's Sky the talk of the town – again. While Voyagers is notably a peak moment in No Man's Sky's nine year history, I can't help but notice that it's simply another win in the midst of a golden age for the game.
Initially, I pinpointed this golden age as starting with the Aquarius update back in September 2024. The promise of fishing and underwater bases was too good to pass up, and after a failed attempt with No Man's Sky in 2018, I finally redownloaded the title. It felt like I was one of many players finally deciding No Man's Sky had earned its keep, after a long journey climbing up from a definitively poor release, and it was time to see what all the hype was about.
