Top 10 Games Based On Non-Human Species

7. Mass Effect

The original Mass Effect had a few rough edges in terms of gameplay, but there was no doubt that people were hooked by its distinctive and deep universe. One of the things that brought the galaxy of Mass Effect to life was its vast variety of alien species, each with their own separate and elaborate culture and diplomatic background. When it comes to the details, Bioware know their stuff.

6. Left 4 Dead

Nothing affirms your humanity more than being surrounded by flesh eating mutants. The undead have always had this bizarre effect of affirming one’s humanity with their inhuman presence, and this feeling becomes even stronger when you know your buddies have got your back. Throw in the weird and wonderful varieties of infected, and you have yourselves a stunning world that is no longer about human society at all. Plus, you get to play as the zombies in versus mode, which is always a plus.

5. Deus Ex

Not so human now, are you?

Deus Ex has always been a game that made players question the nature of man, and this was affirmed in the recent and awesome Deus Ex: Human Revolution. It isn’t exactly a new supposition though, with the original Deus Ex presenting a world with a half-human half-robot cybernetically enhanced populace back in 2000. Most of the characters in Deus Ex were blurring the definition of what is human.

4. Panzer Dragoon Saga

A savagely underrated tale of a boy and his dragon may not seem like the greatest example of a story revolving around non-human species en masse, but riding a dragon in a fantastically imaginative RPG world is just one of those things that sticks in your mind. The world was full of ancient law, crazy and massive monsters and, of course, even more dragons, (you can tell I’m a fan) to the point where the human characters seemed like a mere footnote.
