Void Bastards

1st impressions, Works on STEAM DECK, and is a fun 1st person rogue ftl type game. I'm really looking the graphics. It's nice going into each one of this ships, fighting little alliance. Purchased on sale for what feels like the perfect price.

Immersive sim in roguelite package. It's very addictive, fun to play and oozes same "you are alone in space" vibe for which I love System Shock so much. Gameplay-wise Void Bastards is stellar: different weapons give you different angles to approach different situations, gadgets let you handle problems creativily, progression have exactly right ammount of upgrades and effort needed to acquire them. Graphics are very clean and stylish, giving you perfect understanding of what's going on around. Sound gives a lot of information about threats and environment, but also adds proper "spaceship vibe". The game has two subjective flaws: there is not much variety in ships you'd be raiding and there almost zero replayability after you complete story once. You will see everything this game has to offer in one playthrough. One playthrough is around 25 hours and during those I had immense fun almost non-stop. Also, plot is very barebones, but I don't think someone plays roguelites for the story. Void Bastards crafted with a lot of thought, care and understanding of how good immersive-sim must work. It also feels that game was playtested a lot just by how smooth and addictive the whole experience is (literally not a single bug encountered throughout the whole walkthrough). I can't recommend Void Bastards enough. It's very good. People in love with immersive-sim (especially, System Shock or Prey) or fans of roguelite FPS shouldn't skip this gem.
