Void Bastards Review

Presentation

While Borderlands and XIII helped popularize cel-shaded graphics, Void Bastards takes it to the next level. The images are stunning. I can’t think of another game that so encapsulates the idea of ​​living within a comic book world. It really feels like living inside the pages of a comic.

Seeing such vivid colors is a pleasure, but even more impressive is that the developers integrate it with the gameplay. Comic book readers will be familiar with the sound effects indicated by specific types of text. The developers use this text in the game, cleverly indicating what kind of enemies might be in a room from the noises they make.

Void Bastards looks a lot like a British game. Obvious influences include Douglas Adams Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, especially for the ship’s sarcastic AI The voice acting for this character is superb, as are the rest of the performances. Enemies often have big jokes or snippets of dialogue that will make you laugh. This gives the game a real sense of humor and a defined personality.

Final verdict

Void Bastards deserves a lot of praise. It is an intelligent and innovative game. While it doesn’t present new ideas, it uses existing concepts in new and interesting ways. Even with the lack of tradition and history, it still manages to absorb you into the world.

The fabulous graphics and great voice acting also prevent the action from going stale. You just want to keep playing to experience more of what Void Bastards has to offer.
