Void Bastards (When you don't know the answer to the test so you just put in whatever)

Like the room? Good. You'll be seeing it a lot. 


 Stealing graphics and mechanics from games like Borderlands and other FPS Void bastards gives the players a mish-mash of stealth/survival/action mechanics that are poorly balanced and lack any coherency.

 The absurdity of the setting and the quests rather than being funny or ingenious is dull and motivation-draining. It's like the developers are telling the players fart jokes and cheap puns over and over again.

 The combat is simply terrible, normally most old-school fashion FPS the enemy bullets are difficult to dodge but in a narrow hallway with no cover at all is simply impossible, same as trying to be stealthy.

 The enemy spawners ("rifts") couped with the limited oxygen seem to rush the player, but the limited ammunition, lack of enemy detection on the minimap and lack of efficient healing make this unviable, which drags each raid for twenty minutes. Looting its not satisfactory and the weapons you unlock are awful, like the awkward DPS dealing "stealth" rifle, that doesn't benefits from accuracy or the Rocket launcher type that ends up dealing more damage to you in the enclosed space of the ship than to the enemies, one of which is outright impervious to damage (screw).
