"It's a smart, stylish, and daring genre mash-up that blurs the line between indie and big budget games. It's one of the most tightly designed games I've ever played in my life and that comes through in every possible way, from UI and art direction to combat and level design. It's without any excess parts, and so its design feels constantly well-reasoned and well-executed and expects you to play it just the same. Across the board, Void Bastards is unforgettable." ...

"Void Bastards is a brilliant take on the first-person genre. The gunplay is solid and satisfying. The added tactical element makes me feel in control of my experience and less like it was just tacked on. The game can get very challenging, but I was still compelled to keep pushing and trying new strategies. Death comes at a unique cost, losing my current criminal. Heck, there were times where I’d die just to get rid of a criminal that had an annoying trait – and that’s part of what makes this game so unique. The bottom line, Void Bastards is an absolute gem and definitely worth playing." ... Read full review

"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." ...

"The graphic style is captivating, as is the sheer volume of weapons and in-game situations. Unfortunately the initial surprise of the first few hours fades very quickly, and at the end of the campaign a certain repetitiveness is accused, although the work is not particularly long-lived." ...

"Void Bastards is a serviceable first-person shooter, at best. Whilst intriguing, initially exciting, and quite deep as far as its crafting goes, the game’s lack of play depth and environmental variation makes for a very repetitive trek overall. On top of that, its unrefined combat and its lackluster AI proves to be a further hindrance throughout. Still, there’s certainly some fun to had in this loot-fueled space romp, it’s just very fleeting. " ... Read full review

Void Bastards is great game and highly recommend it for anyone. First of all the visuals are absolutely stunning and gorgeous. The game-playVoid Bastards is great game and highly recommend it for anyone. First of all the visuals are absolutely stunning and gorgeous. The game-play is smooth, fun and satisfying, while you go through each ship looking for loot to help rebuild your own ship. It will have you on the edge of your seat while you're either running from an enemy about to kill you, or on your last seconds of oxygen. Can you get what you need and make it out alive. Well why don't you go see and try it out yourself. I for one can say its one of the best I have ever played. Expand

Cool, comic-book design stands out from the start, but elaborate crafting opportunities and strategic gameplay takes a little longer to appreciate. Every time i die, or come against a particularly difficult vessel to navigate i instantly stop playing, yet i keep coming back to try again. If there was more variety in the level design, i'd probably still be playing now. I think this is the sticking point however.

Really unique and fun game that is really worth playing...just too repetitive i think for sustained enjoyment.

Borderlands style graphics amusing character voicing and included on game pass make for a great package. There is dlc but I need to finish the game before dlc decision is made.
Not as difficult as Surge or everspace but I'm loving possibly enjoying this game more.

This game was never on my radar until I saw it was leaving Game Pass, so I decided to give it a go before it was too late. I’m still glad IThis game was never on my radar until I saw it was leaving Game Pass, so I decided to give it a go before it was too late. I’m still glad I got to experience it for myself but, to be honest, I didn’t enjoy it. The first couple hours were quite decent and I found myself appreciating my playtime, but that feeling quickly dissipated. Artwork aside (the cartoon style really is quite unique and well made), VB just felt like a longwinded, repetitive experience, which is saying something since the game itself isn’t long at all (even taking your time you can probably finish it in about 9 to 10 hours). After the novelty wore off, I realised I was simply going through the motions, doing the same things and entering the same looking spaceships over and over again, to the point where I started wishing the game would end already.

I’m sure a ton of people out there who tried it have a different opinion and I may be in the minority, but to me the whole thing just felt like a stale gaming experience after the honeymoon phase was over.

Oh respect, un FPS tout en 3D putain, ils se sont gavés comme des porcs...! quelle orgie graphique, quelle... euh... couleurs... 3 ou 4Oh respect, un FPS tout en 3D putain, ils se sont gavés comme des porcs...! quelle orgie graphique, quelle... euh... couleurs... 3 ou 4 simultanément, pas plus. Peut-être 16 en tout. Et pour tout. Comment ça, ça ressemble à rien ce gros tas de merde ?!... c'est un indé très frais, plein de frâicheur !

Avec l'espèce d'humour en solde (des fonds de tiroirs et des fins de série) et la géniale idée de faire commencer le joueur dans ce FPS en carton (aussi dégueulasse soit-il) sans munitions ! puis de toute façon, il faudra recommencer puisque le genre des "rogue-machin-merde" est là pour combler la paresse et l'absence de contenu...

Recommence le même niveau comme un con, Ducon ! tu pourras même en parler au prochain dîner, bâtaaard ! Quel vide en tout cas et quelle nullité ! voilà, c'était l'étron indé du soir, à balancer avec les restes.
