Kerbal Space Program is one of my favorite games!
Outer Wilds! It’s the game I suggest to anyone who enjoys exploration and puzzles. The story unravels slowly as you piece together clues. The solar system is so fun, with each planet having unique mechanics. One of my absolute favorites!
Game’s literally been in my backlog for so long now, I think I’ll finally give it some time now after reading this.
It’s so good! My suggestion is to try and avoid looking anything up or reading too much about the game beforehand. The magic is really in exploring and discovering things as you go. Beautiful game :)
Outer Wilds is a really great game! I have some minor grudges with smaller parts of the story and world but it’s an overall awesome experience that doesn’t take itself to seriously.
Kerbal Space Program is what got me into orbital dynamics and the math behind it, Astroneer just for the fun and the asthetics of it.
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.
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.
Space Engineers, definitely!
I’ve spent thousands of hours on it.
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.
Gotta be freelancer for me. No other space game since has taken a hold of me like that game did.
i really dig Everspace. i haven’t played 2 yet but the arcadey flight mechanics of the first really grabbed me.
Descent: Freespace and it’s sequel are all time favorites
i LOVED Descent 2
Star Citizen, while buggy, is a great space game that keeps getting better.
i have seen documentaries about this game hahaha
