This space 4X is as layered as it is wonderful, and with multiple expansion packs it\u2019s a game you can play until reality catches up with its vision of the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Elite Dangerous<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/eW94DDrRZs8xwJDsruZM2vp63ftTl6CZsdhw3gTRhVok8-MlMIjL-pKw2DcE1zcTm8ujEWURoh2tvOsR8YFURYgbww689saRCvmUvd10Aliimmoo10OP5Y8vv7w-AvZwSuxzAjPZ\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Probably the most realistic attempt at a fully immersive simulation of what it\u2019d be like to live in the far future, Elite Dangerous gives you a galaxy to roam and from there, it\u2019s up to you. Will you be a bounty hunter bringing justice to the fringes of human space, or will you be a space trucker? Either way, moment-to-moment, Elite Dangerous is one of the most immersive space games on PC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Kerbal Space Program<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/G7_rffj0fUORY3Sq4gkyKjdIrMwTpBORTzZ_SYUo2V3mtCk-mcnGO-CsA9XLvWOF9g4TwZYAyivN9d1aNRRRQhnq17FlvnmmAElG72G5cdpLCRoN2T1IugbfwcHB8RjWozAD54Aw\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes space exploration isn\u2019t just about the right stuff, it\u2019s also about what goes wrong. In Kerbal Space Program you\u2019ll manage a NASA-a-like as you design missions then take them through to completion in a highly accurately modelled space environment. Will you set foot on the Mun or smash into the face of its desolate surface? It\u2019s up to you and your skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenmangaming.com\/games\/destiny-2-beyond-light-pc\/\">Destiny 2<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/M3f2EkNVlYnuIzXF-ERkQmpUGwCYZ-8j0uOjeFaBDc4PImFNSQGhm3-W3j3_3XskwQXYdIUqct-2K0egArYS29jdJ1mbv_kAF0wq05OAymsw6IWPwngNMCiXmHf1izTF7jkBxDUw\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Destiny 2 is like the gift that keeps on giving. This multiplayer FPS\/RPG hybrid is never afraid to keep things fresh with new expansions, and even cycling out older content to keep the install size small &#8211; something many of us will greatly appreciate. Still with some of the best guns in gaming, grab a few friends and Destiny 2 cannot be beaten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenmangaming.com\/games\/no-mans-sky\/\">No Man\u2019s Sky<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/bXoANhBGXqb2fYjtzNWXyQqIG4tyPkk592NJlUfR-VxTlvgb0HAXi2Q69K_qGq0QANujJzF8mB4Ol2PFN1d3BaBNY5H1TxYf9539WTiboxACHWsZjoqiTxLNYGlu1NoPIrzMPaJ8\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The dream of No Man\u2019s Sky was to explore a galaxy filled with weird and wonderful creatures, planets, and systems. That dream has been fully realised, and then some. With a tonne of free updates adding more and more to the game, No Man\u2019s Sky is a joy to exist in and one of the absolute best space games of all time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Ur-Quan Masters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/iAFXivWaNZG236aZKUSGKrYKP9SDn1MqazZdq72WHiVPNtrp7SgrCMerpaX9W262y_ifgT8mdgRcqWPCU0Sr6Cf3ABLAc9-Kq-Hn9jsEzFqfIpfspnqQC_zzf66jPN98xUWe8P6W\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Star Control 2 was ahead of its time in so many ways. Combining space exploration, ship combat, resource management, mining, and the most alien-aliens ever seen in games, it truly broke the mould. The Ur-Quan Masters is a fan-made update for the game, letting everyone play it on modern computers. Look past the slightly dated graphics, and you\u2019ll find one of the best games you\u2019ll ever play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenmangaming.com\/games\/eve-online-2860-plex\/\">EVE Online<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/3ueKZNQ0qSpg9JWde_F9g9PZc0L0LKx3NwuprOcM6LkXonA1gJL1jwZwixUNUkKbqHdcOYBV-m3QrNl_Lv76oEq5uuzYTuHoc94uj9MjLae4_MN9DdpJaou0E_6-IPK4qvK25M1O\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If Elite Dangerous takes things micro and focuses on the moment-by-moment experience of living in space, EVE Online goes macro. You control a ship and from there decide your own destiny, but the sky is absolutely the limit. You may end up part of a corporate taking over large swathes of the universe and even deciding the fate of the game itself. EVE Online is as grand as your ambition, and is truly a standout game in a busy field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenmangaming.com\/games\/star-wars-squadrons-pc\/\">Star Wars: Squadrons<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/5hs73JN0ZKQEOJohdJbyC4O9LlfObzLLu5cHdcs5fNr99WY9xmqYisulk1BNN9CUqgMZstB346tq1W7Dr4IUsCmQKuQUv659Mx8WvvCwyzY5Gn2-RZ_h8bXW_n5Nk5ZCA28wenpZ\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The TIE Fighter and X-Wing series\u2019 were many people\u2019s first experience of space dogfighting sims, and Star Wars: Squadrons is an utterly worthy successor.
