An updating of a classic PC game, Enemy Unknown brought its turn-based tactical gameplay into the 21st century. Not only do you lead troops into battle but you also manage resources, create new weapons, and plan strategies on a global scale. This is the game to play if you want to act out the fantasy of supreme commander fighting off the alien invasion.
Perfect Dark was a seminal game for the Nintendo Developed by the same team behind Goldeneye, it was a unique shooter that built on that legendary title with a brand new story. Anticipation was high for a sequel over the 5 years of development. But when Perfect Dark Zero was released in , the results were disappointing. Time had passed the series by. The gameplay was stuck in the previous generation and the enemy AI was bad.
But worst of all, the setting that was so unique on the N64 was cliched on the Xbox. Sci-fi wouldn't be sci-fi without spaceships and EVE Online is all about spaceships. It's hard to beat when to comes to size.
Thousands of players have come together in EVE, building huge fleets and conquering the stars through the game's meticulous management system. It's also unique in that the best stories come not from the game's narrative but from the machinations of the community itself. Set up as a sequel to the movie, its first mistake, what starts as a decent experience soon devolves into another generic survival horror game.
Gone is the mystery and paranoia of the monster, replaced by generic guards and boring monsters. Some elements of the original movie survive but they're buried under lame shootouts and bad graphics. Why they made this 20 years after the fact, I'll never know.
Science Fiction has been with video games since the beginning. This is all the proof you need. While light on themes or story, Space Invaders did have simple to learn yet impossible to master gameplay that marked the best of the old arcade cabinets. It was one of the first video games the mainstream took notice, due to its ubiquity in bowling alleys and pizza parlors. Space Invaders' simplistic alien invasion may not have rich or complex but it paved the way for all the great sci-fi games to come.
Few games are so bad that they nearly destroy an entire industry. The Video Game is one such game. A bad adaptation of the classic film for the Atari , E. But what cemented its legendarily awful status is what it did to the games industry. Atari made 15 million copies of E. Along with other bad games not selling, the market nearly collapsed. Game developer Bioware took everything they learned from Knights of the Old Republic and put it to use in this original setting.
Mass Effect offered everything sci-fi fans could want; great characters brought to life by great voice acting, a huge setting with multiple planets and alien races, and a story that tackled big ideas that players felt like they were a part of.

Slowly you worm yourself deeper into these dazzling environments, and into a deeper understanding of the mystery you're trying to solve. There's no shooting, no complex platforming. In Outer Wilds the currency is knowledge , knowledge players use to figure out their next step and, consequently, solve this strange mystery on a meta level.
The result: a constant, revelatory joy, a series of "holy shit" moments that make Outer Wilds unforgettable. Outer Wilds is constantly evoking awe. There's Giant's Deep, the aforementioned planet with its competing hurricanes, but there's also Brittle Hollow, a world collapsing before your eyes. Descending deep beneath the surface you watch as entire sections of the planet are swallowed by a black hole vibrating at its centre.
One false step and you yourself could fall through it. And what happens when you fall through a black hole in Outer Wilds? Well, it would be rude to spoil the surprise. But it's as mind-bending as you might expect. Outer Wilds is punctuated by its holy shit moments. A quantum moon that disappears when you stop looking at it.
Technology that allows you to warp instantaneously between two far-flung points. Twin planets connected by a pillar of sand that flows endlessly back and forth, dramatically reshaping both planets like a complex hourglass.
But unlike the cool, clinical sci-fi of, say, Interstellar or Arrival, Outer Wilds is a homely, almost acoustic invention: a small-scale snow globe of a universe, precisely imagined and executed.
