Games about aliens

Games about aliens and UFOs, as the name suggests, tell about the contact (most often the first) of humanity with aliens. Sometimes a gamer takes on the role of an ordinary person who will defend his home planet, and sometimes he becomes an alien who does the complete opposite: he tries to destroy and capture it.

Games with aliens come in a variety of genres: strategies, shooters, RPGs and quests.

This list contains all the games that talk about aliens and UFOs, without reference to genre or release date.
