Price: £24.99 from Steam (fave.co/2xzjQt5)
Void Bastards 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.
