System Shock Your top three games of each year of the 1990s

[General Disarray]

1998
Descent: FreeSpace – The Great War
Fallout 2
StarCraft

1999
FreeSpace 2
Outcast
Homeworld 1

Where's all the other genres or settings bro? You were one with the stars in the late 90s.

Stars were the best bro. I loved all space games, still do. To bad the genre took a nosedive after Freespace 2 and Homeworld. Outcast was unbelievable when it came out, the scope, the open world.

have you heard of Distant Worlds: Universe?

also Stellaris and sins of a solar empire for a less cerebral experience

I was not referring to 4x games. Even Homeworld is an outlier sense it's an rts, but it's not a 4x game. I meant games like Freespace 1&2 and Tachyon: The Fringe, space sims. And yeah I have played Sins of a Solar Empire, it was okay. Maybe will pick it up again. I recently played Dune: Spice Wars with a friend and I quite enjoyed that game.

Haha I played Hearts of iron and Europa Universalis growing up, I just don't have any interest in classical space empire 4x games, but I enjoyed the historical settings. And again, bitch, you are missing the point. I said I was mainly interested in the classic space sims, but you wouldn't know quality sense you just play fucking Starfield

all I'm saying is DW:U is the best "space game" ever made, if you haven't tried it, give it a shot. DW2 is a different kind of game and I wouldn't play it just yet.

if you meant space RTS games have taken a dive, then yeah. The main appeal of RTS was multiplayer anyway, and online players moved on to other genres so there wasn't much demand anymore and the genre stagnated hard. but for space sims in general there is a lot of good stuff out right now

Okay, I will check it out. But no, with space sims I meant flight simulators in space. Which are commonly referred to as Space Flight Sims. Games you pilot a ship in and need a joystick, or HOTAS nowd ays. Games like XWing vs TieFighter, Freespace 1 and 2, StarLancer and Tachyon: The Fringe. Only space rts I played was Homeworld back in the day, but it was something else. Otherwise I played standard rts, total war games and paradox games for strategy.

I wouldn't consider a 4x games as a space sims. But maybe the terminology has evolved?
