Review: Dark Void

When Capcom publishes a game, there are very few people who don’t know about it, but it has to be said thatDark Void‘s marketing and hype has been somewhat minimal. Sure, quite a few people know about it, but barely anybody seems to care, despite the rather promising concept. Dark Voidgives players a jet pack and tells them to live out their Boba Fett fantasies.
