Void Bastards ($29.99) is a game about exploring derelict ships and
ransacking them for supplies so you can escape to a safer sector, and it’s
made by some of the same minds behind BioShock and System Shock
2. But this delightful spacefaring “rogue-lite” doesn’t bother with those
games’ weighty philosophical themes. Instead, it’s all about staying alive,
and it peppers that desperation with some great one-liners. It’s about
taking along the right crew and crafting the right items across the roughly
15-hour campaign. Sometimes it’s a first-person shooter, sometimes it’s a
galactic explorer, but it’s almost always a blast.
