 DISTANT FUTURE tier
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
--Wing Commander: Privateer (DOS, Space Sim)
space exploration and combat, great plot and very immersive, despite how dated it is.
--Freespace 2 (PC, Space Sim)
both freespace games are great space combat games, but many feel 2 has the strongest plot and gameplay.
--X-COM series (DOS, Strategy)
highly addicting isometric tactical combat, each game great and with their own pros and cons.
--DOOM 3 (Multi, FPS)
took a lot of ideas straight out of the System Shock series. it's a lot
slower paced from the previous games in the series and more immersive
and involving on
a different level. lots of religious mythology.
--Mass Effect series (Multi, Action/RPG)
rich lore, memorable characters and story, fun combat, beautiful
visuals. both 1 and 2 are close enough in quality that I can list them
as one entry.
--System Shock series (DOS/PC, FPS/RPG)
innovative
first-person shooter/RPG series that never truly got the attention it
deserved, and should be played by anyone into the genre/themes present.
the first game has no mouselook, though, so beware.
--Marathon 2: Durandal (DOS, FPS)
2D DOOM-like shooter with dense lore and an immersive world, developed by Bungie pre-Halo.
--Dead Space (Multi, Action/Adventure)
memorable story, beautiful visuals. scary if screeching alien entities
are what scare you. gameplay is like Resident Evil 4 in space.
