Alien games have it in them to create a much deeper and more involving sci-fi than movies. Where film sets and actors are bound to budgeting constraints and the amount of grease paint and putty that can be applied to one head, game engines have no such concerns. A bold creative vision that might be too expensive to realize for the big screen always finds a home in gaming.
And since no-one gets annoyed when theoretical extraterrestrials are the enemies getting blown to bits, they’ve proven a popular foil since the earliest arcade games. Video game futurism has grown more sophisticated since then of course, and our interactions with aliens aren’t always hostile now. In the below games, you’ll find the very best close encounters to be had with otherworldly visitors.
