And we say almost because boarding a ship with a “shedload” of Spooks can go from quiet to overwhelming in a matter of seconds.
Creative gameplay with a little strategy for a game that from launch stands out in the Game Pass library.

Void Bastards is a delightful roguelike romp through a wonderfully unique cel-shaded comic book world full of loud-mouthed enemies and smart-arsed robots.
It fits together disparate genres so perfectly that you wonder how nobody thought to combine them sooner.
Between its compelling art direction, surprisingly complex strategic decisions, and inventive weaponry, there's a lot much to love in Void Bastards. Unfortunately, its overall structure and narrative will leave you feeling empty by the end. That's not to say you shouldn't let yourself enjoy all that this charming, stressful game has to offer. Just don't expect to feel totally satisfied once you escape to the right nebula.
Void Bastards is many things when you get your hands on it, but the most important influences that it draws from all combine to form a game that feels uniquely witty, addictively compelling and satisfyingly deep to explore thanks to tight gameplay, a colourful comic book visuals and a style all of its own.
Void Bastards is a roguelite puzzle game that just happens to give you a gun and two cheese and onion sandwiches before sending you out to your doom. The beauty of Void Bastards is learning how to be more efficient without having to be more deadly.
Void Bastards is based on a neat concept inspired by many things, especially System Shock 2. Too bad it's a bit too monotonous.

Graphic novels and classic anime provide the inspiration for this frenzied and spectacularly smart survival shooter
Despite some technical issues, Void Bastards on Nintendo Switch is a superb, clever game that deserves to be played. Don't sleep on it again!
Despite its faults, Void Bastards is still deeply enjoyable. The humor and the art style alone are enough to make this a must-have, but the combat and vast array of weapons and upgrades makes Void Bastards an experience you should not skip.
On the surface, Void Bastards may just seem like another FPS, but there's an element of strategy layered in which sets it aside from the rest. It takes a bit of the old, mixes it with the new, splashes it with a comic style aesthetic to make a truly wonderful experience that will challenge you to make good decisions, enable you to play how you want and you get to be called a Void bastard, which is brilliant. It feels like a breath of fresh air in a sea of FPS games that all do the same thing.
Void Bastard is as satisfying as it is stylish thanks to its inventive weaponry and engaging first-person shooting.
Void Bastards provides a clever twist on the gameplay model popularized by System Shock 2 and BioShock, now with a procedural element to aid in long-term engagement
While I’ve seen a few titles try to step up to the plate to establish a solid roguelike FPS to date nobody has really nailed the entire formula...
Void Bastards has many merits, despite sinning in one way or another. It is an excellent title for those who enjoy a good roguelike. Anyone who is more adept at the action characteristic of other FPS’ may be a little disappointed as the focus here is greater on strategy and item management that guarantee the player's survival for longer with a single character.

Void Bastards is definitely worth a try. The visual creativity and gameplay make this for a positive experience for casual players, although most rogue-like players will hardly be impressed. Despite the low replay value, the first 8 to 10 hours of the game are some of the best experiences we've had this year.

Void Bastards thrills just long enough before its grinding collecta-thon becomes taxing.
