Gamers that are up to a big intergalactic adventure and going to great lengths across the universe will enjoy the upcoming survival video game developed by Hello Games. "No Man's Sky" will have its full release on July 21 for PlayStation 4. Hello Games' managing director Sean Murray made the announcement through a blog post on the PlayStation website.

"We've been a little quiet since we showed the game last year at E3, and it's because we've been heads down and hard at work on development. It's been a hectic but really exciting time for the team. Finishing a game is incredibly hard but lovely to watch as the pieces fall into place," Murray stated in his blog post. "In 'No Man's Sky' you can trade, fight, explore, and survive in a boundless, computer-generated universe."

The adventurous type of gamers will not get tired of "No Man's Sky" in any way, as the players will get to explore numerous solar systems with their dazzling design and special effects, and each of these solar systems has many life forms which the players can encounter along the way. It is up to the player on how he will play the game: he can travel across the galaxy, explore different planets with varying features and landscapes, and meet all kinds of creatures. If the player is adventurous enough, he can try searching for ancient artifacts that contain hidden messages, and if properly deduced, could reveal the secrets surrounding the universe.

Even before the full launch of "No Man's Sky," the game has already garnered several acknowledgments and recognitions. BBC's technology reporter Dave Lee noted that while the game features "no flashing lights, no pounding music, no booth babes," it still managed to "stole the show" during a press conference of Sony PlayStation on June 2014. "No Man's Sky'" also won  in E3 2014 Game Critics Awards as Best Original Game and Best Independent Game and received the Special Commendation for Innovation.
