Featured Game: Void Bastards (2019, Xbox One/PC)

In this episode, we journey deep into the Sargasso Nebula as I review Void Bastards for Xbox One and PC. Void Bastards is a strategy-shooter with roguelike elements from the creative minds behind BioShock and System Shock. You are part of an endless supply of prisoners aboard the Void Ark looking to board enemy vessels, salvage loot, upgrade your weapons, and make it out of the galaxy in one piece. The only issue is, everything is out to kill you. Will you make it out alive?
