For the uninitiated, Steam summarises user reviews based on what proportion of reviews are positive. The summaries are also split into Recent (last 30 days) and All.
No Man's Sky infamously launched overhyped and undercooked, which lead to its Steam user reviews being dreadful, at one point being one of the rare handful of games to be labelled Overwhelmingly Negative (sub-20% positive reviews). However, with Hello Games' diligent work, No Man's Sky recovered, and has spent a large proportion of the last half-decade labelled as Mixed (40-69% positive reviews). And yet, the positive reviews kept outnumbering the negative reviews, and today:
113.4k positive reviews out of the 162k reviews from users who bought the game directly on Steam. 70%. Mostly Positive.
It's been a long, hard, road, but I think it's fair to say Sean and the whole Hello Games team deserves congratulations for one of the biggest recoveries from a bungled launch in the history of video games.
