Lost Planet 3

Realistic visuals

A third-person shooter on the frozen world of E.D.N. III, where rig pilot Jim Peyton braves blizzards in his utility mech and battles giant Akrid creatures. Its blue-collar frontier story, told through messages home to his family, gives this prequel a surprisingly personal touch.

Starlink: Battle for Atlas

Lots to discover

A space action-adventure where you assemble ships from swappable parts (hull, wings, weapons) and fly freely between planets across an open star system. Mixing weapons, elemental effects and pilots keeps the dogfights varied.

Star Wars Outlaws

Lots to discover

As scoundrel Kay Vess and her critter companion Nix, you roam an open Star Wars galaxy, playing crime syndicates against each other while mixing stealth, blaster fights, speeder rides and space dogfights. Its appeal is the authentic smuggler-adventure fantasy across several richly detailed planets.

Rebel Galaxy

Strong character progression

A swashbuckling space adventure where you pilot broadside-firing capital ships, fight pirates, trade, mine asteroids and upgrade your vessel. A rock and country soundtrack gives it a distinct space-western flavor.

Everspace 2

Strong character progression

Everspace 2 is a fast-paced space combat shooter with loot-driven RPG progression. You explore handcrafted star systems full of secrets, fight in dogfights, and build up your ship through loot, mining, and crafting.
