Void Crew has finally made its way to consoles, and Focus Entertainment was nice enough to send me a couple of copies, so @torstenvblog I could check this bad boy out. We are both extremely grateful. Void Crew is a rogue-like space adventure. You can play solo, with ships designed specifically for this play style, or you can gather friends (up to 6) and see how far you can go. With different objectives that will see you doing things like raiding ancient space stations for loot, escorting friendly ships while they void jump out of dangerous areas, and so much more.
Since I have been playing before launch, I can honestly say the tutorial will help get you started with the basics. It does a fantastic job teaching you the basics of getting your ship up and running, and how to use the weapons system, repairing the ship, and how to fly. Everything you need to know. The day the game launched, however, there were entire groups of players from PC that had groups dedicated to nothing more than teaching step by step not only how to play the game, but how to excel at playing the game.
I, of course, joined a couple of these groups. I wanted to see if this was a toxic community or not, and it was very eye-opening. Every group I joined was friendly and welcoming. Mistakes were not only corrected in the best way possible, but instantly forgiven, and were followed by a hilarious story about their own example of how they made them.
I was struggling with hard-level missions when I first started, almost afraid to even leave normal-level missions. Now playing solo, I look for the best rewards possible, not at the difficulty level.
Now, a great community means nothing if the game isn’t good. With a 4 out of 5 stars ranking on PS5 and a very positive rating on Steam, with over 5500 reviews, it’s hard to argue that the game isn’t good. Graphically, the game is beautiful, and the controls are great. The rewards for leveling up are points to put towards your favorite style of play, whether it’s piloting, gunner, etc. These can easily be changed even while on a run with enough slots to have multiple builds, you don’t have to worry about needing to worry.
I do have one complaint, and it is kind of a big one. It is being worked on, and if you go to Reddit, the devs are willing to work with you if you are hit with this bug. It isn’t game-breaking by any means; it is simply annoying. But occasionally, when you quit the game, regardless of whether you simply close it out or you quit to the main menu ( quitting to the main menu first does lower the chances of it occurring), you will lose levels and the cosmetic items you received from those levels. I lose some cool stuff that way. Don’t worry, it is being worked on, and since there are no paid cosmetic items or anything like that outside of a founders pack you can buy you aren’t at risk of losing any real money. It doesn’t seem to be widespread either, but it is something to be aware of.
Do I recommend Void Crew? Absolutely. Even with the issue I mentioned, the game is a 7/10 experience. Once that is fixed, it will be 8/10. Best wishes, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Update: Just a small update to note the devs on Reddit are very active as they work to fix the issue with level and process loss and make an effort to go in and fix each person’s loss by increasing levels and giving loot crates to people,and you are not limited to a one time help.
