Space games: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the FTW website. Its 1000-word mission: to explore strange new worlds. To seek out new games worth playing. To boldly go where no website has gone before (OK, a few others have a list of the best space games, but this one is the best).
We might have opened with a twist on an iconic Star Trek quote, but you won’t find any Klingons here. More of a Star Wars person? You won’t find any lightsabers either. No, the best space games on PC and console, for the most part, aren’t built around recognizable franchises. The video game industry is as vast as the cosmos, with thousands of new games released every year. We’ve traveled at light speed, scouring the nebulae for signs of intelligent life. In no particular order, here are the best games we discovered during our mission.
