Best Games with Aliens of All Time

Games about aliens and UFOs, as can be understood from the title, tell about the contact (most often the first) of humanity with extraterrestrials. Sometimes the gamer takes on the role of an ordinary person who will defend the home planet, and sometimes they become an alien, doing the exact opposite: trying to destroy and conquer it.

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

This list includes all games that tell about aliens and UFOs, regardless of genre and release date.
