Space offers unlimited possibilities due to its infinite nature, which is why it’s one of the most popular backdrops for books, movies, and of course – video games. Space games aren’t the most popular, but AAA and indie developers have provided us with a wealth of wonderful experiences that allow us to venture far beyond the borders of Earth and explore the unknown. To that end, here are 15 games that let you explore space.
X4: Foundations
X4: Foundations describes itself as a universe simulator, and that’s perhaps a really fitting description for such a game. Set against the backdrop of outer space, X4: Foundations lets players lose in a vast sandbox and lets them carve out their own lifepaths in a virtual space with customizable spaceships, dynamic economies, and crafting systems. It’s a complex game with a lot of moving parts and can be pretty fun to poke around.
