Space exploration is probably the most popular sci-fi subgenre. I love games, movies, and books about exploring space. I think it’s the ultimate goal, even the destiny of humanity. That’s going to take a quite some time, but we can still experience it in games. For this purpose, I’ve compiled 15 best space exploration games. The possibilities and the unknown will blow your mind. After all, science is stranger than sci-fi.
If you’re looking for games where you can explore space, colonize planets, study anomalies, and meet with alien species, I think you’re in the right place.
Let’s try the FTL speed, study the black holes, and jump into the worm holes together!
15 space exploration games:
1. Stellaris
2. Starfield
3. No Man’s Sky
4. Stellar Tactics
Some fans are getting are because the game has been in early access for a very long time. However, it’s getting constant updates and new content. So, im okay with it being an early access game as long as the team still working on it.
5. Mars Horizon
6. Spore
Space Stage
7. X4 Foundations
8. Starcom: Nexus
9. Star Valor
10. Kerbal Space Program
11. Astroneer
12. Empyrion
13. Outer Wilds
Outer Wilds is the best space game ever. However, it’s not heavily focused on exploration, that’s why it isn’t ranked number one.
14. Star Citizen
15. Star Traders: Frontiers
