Best Space Games Ever Made
Games about space are all the games that touch upon the theme of our (and often not only its) vast galaxy. They tell stories of journeys through space, large-scale battles of spaceships, pirate cartels, and resource extraction from unknown planets and asteroids.
Players are often given the opportunity to play not only as a single pilot or soldier but also as a general who commands an entire space army or even an empire.
