No Man's Sky style base building space sim StarRupture launches new playtest

Once No Man's Sky got over those early hiccups, it became a game to define a generation. One of the best live-service games ever created, it has picked up countless awards for the amount of free updates it has offered its players over the year. But as developer Hello Games moves on to Light No Fire, we're left looking for our next space sim to hit all those same exploration beats. StarRupture wants to step into those enormous shoes. With exploration aplenty, survival mechanics galore, and—of course—base building, this first-person survival game could be the indie to take No Man's Sky's mantle.
