For those who’ve never playedRebel Galaxy,the 2015 sci-fi adventure offers players the ultimate space explorer fantasy, putting them behind the controls of a powerful starship and sending them off on adventures across the universe. Along the way, they’ll get to trade with aliens, battle pirates, and ultimately decide what kind of captain they want to be, whether that’s a heroic rogue or a money-hungry mercenary.
Meanwhile,Yooka-Layleeis a crowd-funded platformer that initially launched back in 2017. Viewed as a spiritual successor to theBanjo-Kazooieseries, the game follows the titular duo of Yooka and Laylee, a chameleon and a bat that must explore an array of colorful worlds looking for pages of a magical book. Much likeBanjo-Kazooie,the game tasks players with discovering collectibles in open levels, using the pair’s skills to traverse tricky platforming sections and complete puzzles. The game was worked on by several Rare veterans and spawned a franchise of its own, withYooka-Layleeand the Impossible Lairlaunching in 2019.
As forVoid Bastards,the sci-fi strategy shooter hit shelves back in 2019, offering players a first-person action game heavily inspired by the likes ofBioShockandSystem Shock 2.Sporting a cel-shaded art style, the game sees players lead the titular Void Bastards out of the Sargasso Nebula, raiding supplies and other materials from nearby spaceships. They’ll have to decide how best to navigate these vessels, which are populated by creepy monsters and other hazards.
