Void Crew Preview Cons:
- Supports a controller but doesn’t have any settings or prompts for it.
- So much to take in.
- The tutorial is more vague than direct with its information.
- It is very challenging in a single player.
- You don’t have a lot of feedback or help when things go wrong or you feel lost like when you lose power for the first time.
- Takes a while to get going.
- The game is played out within self-contained levels and it feels kind of limiting.
- You cannot do any character creation or edit your suit until you unlock them.
- No third-person view.
- The ship feels claustrophobic.
- Playing with a controller is not great more because it’s a case of fiddly controls and guessing inputs.
