There is no set blueprint in life. While your parents are heavily involved in the formative years, the majority of it is what you choose to make of it. No Man's Sky, a first-person space survival game that gives you the keys to a procedurally generated universe of 18 quintillion planets, is a bit like that. No Man's Sky is about finding and making your own way through a vast universe, with little to no guidance on how to fulfil your potential. And doing a lot of the same work over and over, to achieve what you crave.
