Blue Manchu has brought back the fantastic 2.5D comic book art style of Void Bastards, and it is beautiful when applied to the bigger, open spaces represented on the different planets.

The aesthetic are amazing and consistent, voice acting is on point and hearing little character-specific chatters between themselves during combat is great.
