Void Bastards review – gloriously chaotic head-trip into outer space
https://www.theguardian.com/games/2019/may/29/void-bastards-review
PC; Blue Manchu/Humble BundleGraphic novels and classic anime provide the inspiration for this frenzied and spectacularly smart survival shooter
In space, no one can hear you make catastrophic decisions – and in Void Bastards, you will make plenty. This is a first-person shooter where shooting is often a last resort. Mostly, you’re weighing up the possibilities: can you make it to that alluring loot before your oxygen runs out? Do you have enough food to see you through the next two scavenging missions? What should you take with you: a Clusterfrak grenade launcher or a cute Kittybot to distract foes? One lesson you learn very quickly is that the universe is cruel. And also hilarious.
