This update turns No Man's Sky into the ultimate space paleontology sim—who knew uncovering ancient bones could feel so rewarding Between the new threats and trading specialist, it’s clear Hello Games still has plenty of creative fuel left in the tank. (Keeps it fresh by focusing on the unexpected appeal of paleontology in space and praising the devs' creativity, while avoiding overlap with the existing comments.)
