Void Bastards

February 4, 2023 - Reading time: ~1 minute - Category: game library project

Void Bastards is a roguelike shooter where you travel to procedurally generated spaceships and salvage parts from them. It plays fine enough, but it didn't really grip me.

The humor is British and didn't do too much for me. The shooting is just okay, I played with a controller and it feels alright but nothing like Call of Duty or Destiny. The sci fi spaceship theme is nice, but I sometimes struggle with these roguelike games. The inherent grind-start over-grind of the gameplay just doesn't always go it for me. Having to start back at the beginning, even carrying over items and recipes, just annoys me.

The game is definitely well made and deserves its good reviews, but it isn't for me.

Verdict: Uninstalled

My name's Mike, and this is the Lore Depository - my spot online where I can write out my thoughts on games, books, tech, history, and anything else I find interesting. 

My biggest project is my Game Library Project. I have a ton of games collected throughout the years, and have barely played any of them. Check out the linked post to learn more about the project, and click here to be taken to the category page where you can see all my posts for the project.

Other content comes mainly in 3 forms:
Reviews, where I post longer-form writeups
Thoughts, short & quick first impressions posts
Guides, detailed how-tos and walkthroughs
