Recommend me some good Science Fiction games

[elricik]

I'm really in the mood to play a new scifi game right now. I'm looking for something like a space opera, but anything can be suggested as long as it deals with science fiction. I've pretty much played all the major science fiction games. (Halo, KOTOR 1 and 2, Half Life,Mass Effect 1 and 2, the Fallout series, you get the idea) Post any hidden gems if you can name any.

System Shock 2. Definetly.

 

[Faulty Turmoil]

Mass effect 2?

Seriously try Kotor and kotor 2 as well.

 

[Valkyira]

Mass Effect would be the obvious choice. But you could play something like AvP.

I honestly can't think of any sci-fi game except for Mass Effect and Fallout 3.

Where the hell are all the sci-fi games?

 

[Bat Vader]

Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2, Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic 1 and 2, Spore, and Star Wars: Empire At War.

Not many science fiction games I could think of but the ones that I did list are pretty good. In my opinion they are pretty good.

Dead Space was super cool.

The game Extermination was an extremely scary and fun game. I had it for the PS2, so idk how to get a hold of it now. It had a great story and gameplay. Definately look for that.

For a retro sci-fi fix:

If you can find them, X-com: Enemy Unknown and X-com: Terror From The Deep. Yes, they are sprite based, but god damn it they are still the standard against which all other sci-fi/strategy games I play are measured.

Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri
Deus Ex
Fallout
UFO - Enemy Unknown
Space Rangers 2
The Ur-Quan Masters

I would say mass effect ONE. I don't like two because of the removed vehicles sections. even though they were pretty buggy with all the driving, they gave the game the feeling of being big. also i would bring in deus ex. I am 18 years old and i grew up in a world where the n64 was my game console and by the time that console came out i was 10 and 8 years later i played deus ex and it blew my mind with all the possible outcomes of a situation.

Mass effect, hands down.

 

[darth gditch]

Mass Effect (sorry, had to)

you said KOTOR, but did you play KOTOR 2?

Star Wars Battlefront was good.

Sins of a Solar Empire if you like RTS.

but you said space opera....damn.....

 

[Thaius]

Mass Effect is one, for sure.

I would absolutely recommend Beyond Good and Evil. A much-overlooked masterpiece, it's an amazing sci-fi game with great gameplay, a beautiful soundtrack, a strange and intriguing story... just, everything about this game is good. Please, for the love of awesomeness, get it.

I just edited my main post, I have played both Mass Effects, so that means half your answers are all for naught, sorry guys.

 

[Bludge]

Its half sci-fi and half fantasy, but Dreamfall is pretty damn amazing. I would highly recommend it.

 

[ThePreshFrince]

Space Invaders.

EVE Online? You could download the 14 day trial and try it out, not much to loose other than some HDD space.

 

[Kuchinawa212]

Star Wars Battlegrounds? Really fun RTS
