The Best Space Games For PC

There are as many games about traveling through the vastness of the universe, extraterrestrial civilizations, and battles on spaceships as there are stars in the night sky. But we still tried to collect the best single-player and online space games in one place.

The cold emptiness of space has long attracted authors of science fiction. Unlike fantasy worlds, which, despite their diversity, still follow the general canons of the genre, the infinity of space provides scope for the wildest fantasies and allows authors to realize their grandiose ideas without compromising the integrity of the world’s perception.

Mass Effect

From 2007 to 2017, the masters at BioWare regularly gave us not only parts of the best space RPG series in the history of the industry, but also, perhaps, the best series of space games on PC in general.

This grand space opera, in which appropriate pathos is intertwined with complex moral dilemmas, trademark humor, and romantic digressions, is undoubtedly worthy of topping our list.

We are particularly pleased with the noticeable influence of the features of the previous parts of the game on the development of the plot of the next ones when importing saves.

And even though Mass Effect: Andromeda, released in 2017, did not live up to all expectations, and even though all three endings of Mass Effect 3 left many fans with a feeling of “What was that?” — the magnificent story of Captain Shepard, told against the backdrop of the decline of several civilizations, will forever remain in the hearts of gamers.

And the megabytes of dialogue, numerous side quests, and decent graphics of all parts of the series only confirm the correctness of this choice.

Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader

Classic RPGs in a space setting are rare, not to mention role-playing games under the respected and long-suffering Warhammer 40,000 brand, where any decent project is worth its weight in gold.

We hope that the release of Rogue Trader has lifted this curse, and now big games based on this epic science fiction universe will be released more often.

For this epoch-making achievement, we should praise the domestic studio Owlcat, which has already pulled off a similar trick with Pathfinder, and whose experience with deep lore and even deeper role-playing systems is evident here.

 Even if you are not familiar with the source material, you will quickly slip into the role of a Free Trader — a representative of the privileged class of the Imperium, who is officially allowed to freely travel to the far reaches of the galaxy in their fortress ship on “trade missions,” but in reality, allowed to do whatever he pleases.

EVE Online

A monstrous MMORPG that allows its players to take part in epic battles on spaceships. In these battles, game assets worth millions of US dollars are often destroyed.

 The game is designed for active participation in the life of clans and alliances, which is by no means limited to PvP battles on weekends — without an alliance, it is very difficult here from an economic point of view.
