Five space sims better than No Man's Sky

Many gamers seem to be disappointed in No Man’s Sky. Here are the very best alternatives to ease your interstellar needs.

None of the games mentioned for the ps4 are available atm... Good job...

[KentBlake]

To be fair, Rebel Galaxy is on PS4 (it was even given for free for PS Plus subscribers)

[JackBNimble]

Rebel Galaxy is also quite a fun game, I really enjoy it. I have never played NMS yet, I think I will wait until it's $20 from all the shit I have heard

[freshslicepizza]

with so many commenting how the competition no longer has many exclusives because they are also now coming to the pc i guess some assumed everyone that has a ps4 also gamed on the pc. the pc has lots of sim games but to be fair not many are easy to get into like no mans sky. except for rebel galaxy which is also on consoles.

its a shame they didn't mention homeworld remastered.

[Doidim]

Oh sorry, I mean at least on the psn EU store.

[Shubhendu_Singh]

The only and ONLY good thing about NMS was,
Yes, they did managed the surface to space transition without a loading screen. Except that, Almost nothing.

Turns out, NMS had the same result what EA's Spore had in store.

[JasonKCK]

There are no loading screens in Elite Dangerous.

[meka2611]

Technically there are. It's just not a screen that says loading. Every game nowadays has a loading screen, just depends on how well they hide it.

[JasonKCK]

When you land on a planet there are no loading screens. Depending on how you fly it's a smooth transition from space to planet.

Keep trying.

Article written by a PC fanboy I think. Nice for gamers who have a super-powerful rig, I suppose.
What about PS4?

[Marked]

Super powerful rig? Is that an educated statement?

[Gaming4Life1981]

How many space sims are on ps4?

Xbox one has elite dangerous and both xbox one and ps4 have rebel galaxy. Also you dont need a super powerful rig to play those games.

People throw the word fanboy out for no reason nowadays.

[itsmebryan]

What are you talking about? Most of the games are available on consoles also?

[Bhuahahaha]

i like rebel galaxy oh and theres another good one that wasnt on the list ~ cosmonautica

[viperman240]

If you would like to explore our universe you should check out Space Engine. The entire universe has been procedurally generated and even our own solar system is in there. Its not really a game per say, its more of a tech demo, but its amazing to explore the vast universe in all its glory, black holes binary star systems and all.

[TheOptimist]

They are still adding stuff, there are no Physics at the moment.

[DeeBeers]

Elite dkn DANGEROUS. Did a Community Goal a few days ago and managed to bag myself 69 million cred. wooop.

[Kapella]

Yeaaa buddy!

[Scatpants]

This must have been an easy list to make since you could name almost any space sim and it would be better.

[Yetter]

hmmm, I've played all of these already. Kerbal is the best of the bunch, but I wouldn't compare it to any of these other titles. Its really more of a space physics sim, than a straight up space sim, there isn't a lot of sci-fi in it. Wouldn't really put Stellaris on this list either. Its a lot of fun but its a 4x game, not a space sim

[TheOptimist]

Where's Star Citizen? Being in Alpha, it still is better optimized than No Man's Sky for PC -__-

[lvl_headed_gmr]

The PS4 is the worst place for Space sims...space games in general really.

Xbox is the best place for Space games. Loving Elite Dangerous.

Actually Xbox is pretty much the best place to play as a gamer.

Looking forward to Forza Horizon 3.

LMFAO with the 3rd holiday season with nothing on the PS4. What a terrible console.
