You might have heard of the new(ish) video game called No Man's Sky recently released on the PS4. It's unique selling point is that no two players will ever see the same game - you get to explore an enormous galaxy of literally billions of planets and everybody starts from a different point within that galaxy.

There's been some controversy over the actual game itself i.e. whether just flying a spaceship from planet to planet actually counts as real gameplay, but there's no denying how beautiful it all looks and what an amazing technical feat it is. The designers of game clearly have a love of classic Science Fiction book covers (like these...) which has resulted in some truly beautiful alien landscapes to explore.

Here's an article on Eurogamer detailing some of the artists the game's designers drew inspiration from. I've been enjoying it immensely from a visual perspective - so here's a few screenshots of my adventures.
