10. Star Citizen

Star Citizen Trailer

Star Citizen exists at the intersection of FPS, RPG and space sim. You are a star pilot in this science fiction world and it is your job to decide what path you should take: you can be a merchant, a gun for hire, or even a smuggler.

Not only do you get to BE a star pilot in this game (gotta love those FPS features), you get to choose your ship and modify it as you see fit. There are several varieties of base ships to choose from which you will then customize from there. These ships can be giant frigates or little smuggling style ships that are meant to escape notice. Obviously, these ships will require pilots. Some you’ll be able to pilot yourself, some will require a few co-pilots (don’t worry if you like playing solo, there are NPC’s to help out) —I’m looking at you space yacht.

Can you explore different worlds? What is the combat gameplay like? Describe in vivid details

You will travel in your space ship, just like in a space sim, while you fight on the ground in FPS mode. The game does a seamless and beautiful job of combining these two styles into one fast-paced and hearty game.

There are dozens of universes to explore in your ship. Set out for a target and fight from space to get there. Once you land you can explore on foot around the planets to find the loot that you’re after or complete the mission objective. And if you run into any resistance there you’ll be able to fight it with the ease of an FPS.

The game boasts half a dozen unique play styles: some of which you can play solo, but most of which you’ll need a little help for. There are dozens of different missions to complete all based on how you choose to play.

Explore with your friends to have more fun. You’ll feel like a scene straight out of Star Wars warning your buddies that they have an enemy on their 6 while you’re flying. And you’ll have some bragging to do if you manage to save them from hostile fighters. It’s all the fun of flight and fight.
