While some are trying to imagine what a meeting of earthlings with guests from other planets will look like, others are dashingly fighting unfriendly visitors from space in their favorite video games. This collection contains the most exciting titles in which players will be able to shoot plenty and come up with the most sophisticated ways to stop the invasion of aliens.
Mass Effect: Legendary Edition
The first part of the Mass Effect series was released in 2007, and in 2021 saw the world of Mass Effect: Legendary Edition, which became an update to all three previously released parts. Therefore, those who missed every single part during the peak of popularity will understand what is going on playing the Legendary Edition with improved graphics and RPG mechanics.
The main character is Captain Shepard, whose appearance can be customized as the player decides. The ability to choose lines of dialogues and actions of the character allows you to change his reputation and greatly affects the outcome of the game. Being embroiled in a conflict between people and space races, captain goes in search of an agent and on his way acquires skillful fighters-partners and, of course, enemies.
The game will pleasantly surprise players with its detail and improved lighting compared to the early parts. In general, the sci-fi universe of Mass Effect: Legendary Edition will surprise players not only with its scale but also with the emotionality of the story.
Warframe
Relations with aliens can develop badly not only for humans but also between various space species and tribes. Players can fight as Tenno warriors with top-notch Jedi skills to confront enemy colonizers and other high-tech creatures. Shootouts in gloomy spaceships and open locations provide enough space to deploy a real intercontinental battle.
Fights in the air with small arms and enchanting fights with melee weapons are available for players. The game also has a cooperative mode for playing with friends and a solo mode and observing what is happening on the screen as a third person.
XCOM 2
According to the plot of this video game, players will have to join the ranks of the 2035 guerrilla movement that seeks to expel the coalition of alien invaders once and for all after twenty years of war. The main strategy here is to attack and use all sorts of sabotage activities of Advent, an organization created by aliens.
Having sniffed about new technological developments by enemies, you will have to get into your spaceship “Avenger” and decide which base will be your priority attack. The enemy does not sleep, and he will surprise the player with his chips, which you do not expect. Without exaggeration, the gameplay is excellent here!
Dead Space
Adventures with horror elements await daredevils who will be left one-on-one with bloodthirsty alien creatures in a spaceship. The whole problem lies in the fact that you are a simple engineer Isaac Clarke cut off from your team, and you will have to repulse intruders alone and with the help of any tools, you find while exploring the ship.
After all, there is no one to wait for help. The only thing that can help you is the musical accompaniment, which, although it intensifies an oppressive atmosphere, also tells you if a new monster is close to you. Many players began to have a fondness for the alien theme by giving this video game a try.
Beyond Good & Evil
Rayman’s creation may seem a little out of the ordinary compared to the other games on this list. But don’t let the cute cartoon characters confuse you. In the center of the plot, there is a young journalist Jade who, thanks to her activities, is trying to understand why the conflict with alien invaders has dragged on.
Players will try to uncover a conspiracy theory, and they will be helped in this first by the uncle of the protagonist and then by a secret service agent. Action, puzzles, stealth – a mixture of genres and styles oddly enough benefited this adventure game in which everything is in place, and there is nothing superfluous.
