Kerbal Space Program is one of my favorite games!
Ive been enjoying Rimworld recently!
KSP, Stellaris and Mass Effect are also up there with best space games imo
I’m playing X4 Foundations right now. It’s like someone mixed the best parts of Elite Dangerous, Star Citizen, and Stellaris into one single-player game. And it runs on the Steam Deck to boot!
Right there with you. There’s so much content and it seems to solve a lot of the problems I experienced with Elite and SC.
Elite Dangerous consumed my life for a bit but I haven’t played it in years. Mass Effect might be number one. No Man’s Sky was pretty good too.
same for me, but maybe a bit more recent. i have fallen in and out of love with elite dangerous several times, but i haven’t played in maybe about 6 months or so. i probably have at least 500 hours in the game, i’ve got a fleet carrier that is slowly draining my finances while i’m not playing… but i feel like there’s nothing for me to do anymore other than continue to repeat the same trade routes over and over.
Elite Dangerous. I don’t play anymore, but it’s still a marvel in the flight model and the sheer scale and beauty of things.
Space Engineers, definitely!
I’ve spent thousands of hours on it.
i have never heard of this, sounds interesting!
Love No Mans Sky
Started playing after the Pathfinder update, and pretty much played non-stop for the next few days.
Trying to convince my friends to play now lol.
I tried really hard to like it, but it feels way too arcade-y for me.
really excited to play it one day, had so much potential when it came out
Definitely not something anyone else will mention, and shows my age, but Star Control 2.
i have never heard of it, but it sounds like a game from the 90s haha
Stellaris and Elite Dangerous for sure.
Elite Dangerous and Evochron Mercenary.
Outer Wilds is the most unique space mystery game with rogue-like elements I’ve ever played (not to be confused with The Outer Worlds). I feel that describing the premise takes away from some of magic of learning the game, but if you like the exploration elements of games like KSP and the puzzle elements of Portal or Stanley Parable I highly recommend giving it a go.
oh wow i didnt know it was THAT good, excited to play it one day!
Probably Mass Effect 2. Just SOOOO good. I never did play 3, probably should get around to that some day.
excited to play the series one day, i have heard amazing things
Starsector. Been described as “Mount & Blade in space”, which I think is still pretty apt. Made mostly by one guy, been in development for years. Still getting regular, substantive updates, has an awesome modding community with full developer support that adds tons of great content to the base game. Can’t recommend it enough.
Star Citizen, while buggy, is a great space game that keeps getting better.
i have seen documentaries about this game hahaha
I just started Deep Rock Galactic and it’s been a great time sink so far
oh i have this game but never tried it, thanks for the info!
Descent: Freespace and it’s sequel are all time favorites
i LOVED Descent 2
