Heya,

I'm looking for a science fiction PC game to play. Do you have any recommendations? More specifically, I'm looking for a space travel/exploration action type of a game, if possible. Something like EVE Online or Wing Commander.

But, it doesn't necessarily have to be the type of game I mentioned above. It can be an RPG, adventure, etc, just as long as it isn't a strategy game. Fallout 1& 2 are my favourite rpg/sci-fi games. I also played great games like Mass Effect, Half-Life, Portal, MDK, ONI, Blade Runner, and The Dig. I didn't like Dead Space much.

Help me out,

Thanks!

You don't seem to be afraid of old games: try Omikron: The Nomad Soul or Anachronox

You can always try SW: Knights of the Old Republic. Great game and it has a very good sequel. SW: KotOR 2 - Sith Lords.

The X series (Beyond the Frontier, X-Tension, The Threat, Reunion, Terran Conflict) - pretty much covers everything and lets you play how you want to. Want to play it as a space combat game - then go down the route of being a merc for hire gradually upgrading your arsenal of weapons or capturing more ships. If you want to be a space trader then this offers one of, if not the, most complex system. You can either do it all manually, upgrading your ship and making decisions yourself, or later on you can build your own space stations and interact with the economy through them, even creating your whole supply chains if required. If you want to go exploring the games offering hundreds of sectors of space to explore, and events during each game can dramatically change what/who you find in certain sectors. the only downside I can think of for these is the massive amount of time you can put into them without really getting towards the end of the story -unless you choose to progress the main plot you are free to do what you like.
