However, when the game launched, key characters like Judy Alvarez and Panam Palmer were only available to romance depending on the player’s chosen gender.

The negative reaction was strong enough that fans created modifications for the PC version to remove these restrictions.

‘No Man’s Sky,’ created by Hello Games, features a vast, ever-changing universe and a unique soundtrack to match.

It’s a great example of how music can be ‘procedural’ – reactive to gameplay and effectively limitless.
