Sci-fi movies set in space have captured our imaginations and made us question what is possible.

From the huge space battles in movies like Star Wars, to the psychological thrillers like Alien; these games draw inspiration from classic space fantasies.

Let's blast off and set these new games into orbit.

15. Massive Galaxy

Massive Galaxy Teaser

Explore, trade, and fight through massive galaxies in this cyberpunk point and click adventure. Discover diverse cultures, risk your life on dangerous trade routes, and uncover the secrets of ancient and lost civilizations.

Why We're Excited About Massive Galaxy:

  • Bustling cities, wastelands, and alien civilizations to explore.
  • Trade, steal, or take on ethically ambiguous missions to make your fortune.
  • Classic retro pixel art design.

Domo arigato Mr. Roboto.

Maybe the stock market is better on a different planet.
