Go to the game in steam but do not launch it.
Right click the game in your library and go to properties.
Go to local files, and click browse.

As far as I know you could only get this Artbook by pre-ordering the game.
The art however is fenomenal. This book gives a great insight in the game's roots (pun intended) and how development got on. ~108 pages of explanation about how the game took shape and sketches and art that shaped this game.

If this would ever come availible for a euro or 2 would recommend

An amazing puzzler with stunning graphics. Not the kind with DLSS and Ray tracing. This game is made up of beautifully hand-drawn/sketched up environments which give it a picturesque and painting-like vibe.

It is an wonderful experience seeing how you transform your dark brown and grey screen into something filled with plants and birds and other animals.

There isn't a lot of game-play available sadly. Hunting all achievements will probably cost around 10-12 hours. And just plain speed-running the game might even be possible under 2.

Note : Do play the demo, it will give you a great feel for the game, since the full game will have 3 more regions and 1 variation of each region.

A hard yes on this game.

Storyline is a little forced, weird, over the top, but does lure you in wanting more.
Gameplay is amazing. Each chapter introduces its own mechanic which is combined later.

Played through the whole story at the time of writing, but a lot more to do.

A rat stole a complete ball of dough, so I put it in the fryer, and tried serving it to a customer/

(Also a buggy mess)

Great relaxing semi-puzzler. Great on deck

This game is an unfinished, unpolished bin fire.
The game runs like it needs 3 RTX 4090's. Frames per second are horrible, even after so called performance updates.
I've had this game since launch, and priority is given to new content and not to actual core game improvements.
Don't buy this.

Game seems to have improved a bit, still unfinished, multiplayer is bugged. Don't buy full price, don't buy 60% off

Can't recommend, there are no settings and there is no undo, looks fun at first, but gets irritating fast.

Oh man did I miss this game. Yes this was an epic exclusive for the first year, and yes I waited that whole year to be able to play it on steam. Carrying over progress was near to impossible so I just committed to do everything over again, and boy do I enjoy this game. 18 Maps with variations and more to come with more then 1000s of ways to kill your targets. This is one of the best games there is. And picking up the whole trilogy for just under a 100 bucks is one of the best deals you can take at the moment

nut

No Man's Sky is one of the few, if not the only game that managed to deliver after what was the biggest backlash in the history of angry game reviews. But look where they are now, updating/patching actively developing. I like this game and the devs deserve some respect for that.
