Here's why we're excited about 'No Man's Sky,' one of the most creative games ever made

Even the youngest among us won't casually explore space. Not like this, anyway.

Humanity is still far from space travel, but one incredible-looking game is promising the endless exploration of space all from the comfort of your living room. The studio is Hello Games, the game is "No Man's Sky."The game was unfortunately delayed out of its June release date, but we're still super excited to play it.

This is "No Man's Sky" in a nutshell:

In "No Man's Sky," you're a space explorer, and you're exploring space in first-person.

On your travels, you'll encounter lots of different stuff: plants, animals, buildings, other spacecraft, etc.

Here's the twist: there are 18 quintillion planets.

Each one of these dots of light represents a star, and each star has planets swirling around it. You can explore all of them.

"If a new planet was discovered every second after the game comes out, it would take 584 billion years to visit every one just for a second," the game's creative director told CNN.
