For many, video games are an escape from real life, a way to take your mind off other things and step into new worlds. Since the first video game was released, they’ve only improved over time and are always getting closer and closer to being almost indistinguishable from real life with games pushing these limits each year. 

 

With the ability to create such incredible games, it’s only natural that numerous genres have stepped into the world of game development to create games that stretch the imagination of players. One genre of games that’s been at the top of the list for many years is Sci-Fi. A virtually unlimited pool of content and opportunities for players and game developers to dive into, it’s gamers dream to have the ability to have this whole library at their fingertips. 

 

But what are the best sci-fi games out there? In this article we’ll be taking a look at some of the best sci-fi games available you can play.

 

Star Wars

 

Arguably the most well-known franchise in the world, Star Wars has been at the top of the tree for over fifty years, and with success like this, there’s bound to be a few great games along the way. There really have been too many great Star Wars games to name them all, but a few of our favourites are Star Wars Fallen Order/ Jedi Survivor. 

 

You follow Cal Kestis, a former jedi who’s remained in hiding since the fall of the Jedi order. As you’re found out to be a former jedi, you go through the games fighting off stormtroopers and the sith to learn more about your past and how to put an end to the empire. This game is very story driven, if you fancy just jumping into the world of Star Wars, then Battlefront two may be the way to go. 

 

An arcade shooter, where you have the option to play in any era of Star Wars on either side, fighting on numerous maps, making it really feel like you’re in the battle of naboo!

 

The online casino industry has also taken inspiration from popular gaming title Star Wars by incorporating the franchise theme into their slot games. By utilizing popular themes, slot sites are likely to entice fans of that theme or franchise to play the game. Now, players can enjoy a Sci-Fi themed slot game at one of the many slot sites available online

 

Halo

 

Probably my favourite on this list, Halo has had some incredible games in the past, with Halo three arguably being one of the best sci-fi games of all time. In Halo, you follow a Spartan Soldier called the Master Chief where you fight off against various enemies such as the Covenant, an alien species trying to conquer the galaxy, the flood, a parasitic race who takes over every planet they come into contact with.

 

In Halo you’ll encounter some of the best stories in gaming, some tough decisions and maybe even some tears along the way. You’ll travel through the galaxy looking to uncover the truths about your enemies and what the Halo rings really are. The original games recently received remasters in the Halo Master Chief collection, so if you’re looking to play them all start to finish, you’ll have them all in one place.

 

Starfield

 

One of the newer games on this list, Starfield is an open world adventure game where you go out exploring the stars, visiting different planets and completing different missions. In this open world game, you can basically play how you want to, complete missions at your own pace. Fancy taking your time and exploring before doing any missions? Or do you prefer to go straight into the missions and leave the exploring till last? Either is fine and you’ll have a blast either way. With numerous things to customise such as your ship and your outfit, it’s a great game to sink your teeth into.

 

Fallout

 

The fallout games became so successful they recently made a tv show adaptation of it. Set in a world where a nuclear war decimated America and people were forced to go into hiding in bunkers for hundreds of years. When you finally do come up to the surface, things aren’t what you expected and you have to learn about the new world, fighting off gangs who survived the blast but have been exposed to nuclear radiation. Fallout has a great few games with most notably Fallout 3, 4 and New Vegas.

 

Sci-Fi games have come a long way in recent years and are now arguably the best there ever was. That said, there are still definitely some Sci-Fi classics you need to try such as some of the ones on this list. Whilst it’s great to play the latest and newest games, sometimes, stepping back a few years to play the classics can be a real step down memory lane, and if you’ve never played them it’s a truly amazing experience.
