If you’re into Babylon 5, there’s actually a game called Babylon 5: I’ve Found Her that captures the spirit of the fighter combat pretty well IMO. Might be worth checking out!

Acamon,

Wow! Didn’t know about that, thanks!!

NO Mans Sky. You can dogfight space pirates. I need to spin the game up again now that custom ships are a thing.

The custom interiors and crew based stuff is really interesting and I want to see it as a light no fire testbed if nothing else after they said it was the same core tech as their ocean faring ships.

Unless they did a proper rework of space combat, it’ll get old fast, just like ground combat. I also remember you could pile up dozens of “Kill space pirate Whoever” from several systems, travel super far away so that you could reset the quests, reset said quests, then manage to complete ALL of them by killing only one target

I like x4. It’s kind of like Elite Dangerous but the flight mechanics are a little easier and you can command much larger ships and hire NPC pilots and build fleets.

It’s a game that, as you build up money, it becomes less about flying around and more about managing fleets and your little economic empire. Still, one of the few that actually let you pilot fighters AND huge stuff like the carriers

Zero, from Drakengard 3. The perfect amount of crude and the dryest delivery of humor imagineable.

Kassandra from Assassin’s Creed Odyssey.

Fantastic voice acting, awesome gameplay, beautiful world. 10/10 I love her.

If you want bigger ships than fighters:

Rebel Galaxy(its completely different compared to RG Outlaw) - big ships, can hire a single mercenary, combat for you happens in 2D and its more of naval style with broadsides and automated turrets.

Between the Stars - you have a spaceship with a crew and can also hire 2 more ships to help you out(once you gear them), game got plenty of quests with some puzzles to boat, “ground combat” which is using dice(or can be disabled completely) and space combat takes a bit to get used to.

+1 for Rebel Galaxy.

It came out a few years ago but it’s still a really good game that I’ll pick up every now and then. The combat is surprisingly good for a space game that’s on a 2d plane.

Completely offline which is nice also.

Damage,

+2
It’s also got a badass soundtrack

yes! believe it or not most of the music in the game is also copyright free music. like “Evil Ways” for example which was also the theme song for professional wrestler AJ Styles when he was in TNA.

Some of my favorites have already been mentioned.

Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice by Ninja Theory

https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/e5fe610c-46e8-45ce-b723-fe28697f1449.jpeg

This lady is a standout from recent games I played in the past several years. Senua is an incredible character, complex, driven, and felt very human. I and probably a million other gamers connected with her deeply. Won’t say any more to avoid spoilers, but she was in one of the greatest games I ever played. Her actress, Melina Juergens, was perfect for the role in many ways (which I won’t say why here to avoid spoilers for those who haven’t played this game). Haven’t played the sequel yet, but I remember Melina won an award at the recent Game Awards for her performance in Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II.

0li0li,

You beat me to it!! She wins in my book.

CatZoomies,
@CatZoomies@lemmy.world avatar

She’s an absolute badass. I cheered her on, suffered with her, and cried when I finished the game. I felt every emotion she had during the game, because I felt like I was on the journey with her by her side while she faced her trials. Beautiful and unforgettable experience.

Great pick, she’s up there for me too. I also only played the first one but thought it was an amazing experience.

Two occur to me: Chell from the Portal games, and Lufia from Lufia and the Fortress of Doom. And both of those almost don’t count.

I almost don’t want to count Chell because she’s almost not a character, but I’ve had quite a bit of fun playing as her.

Lufia is one of the rare SNES JRPGs not made by Squaresoft or Enix, it was published by Taito. Gameplay is similar to classic Final Fantasy, the story manages to be quite tragic. Lufia, the title character, is not the player character, Enter Your Name is the player character, and Lufia is a playable party member/his love interest/…well, play the game to find out. So there’s reasons why I hesitate to call her a “protagonist.”

I have to mention a fun thing that series did: Lufia 1 starts with a playable prologue/tutorial section where you play as some legendary heroes fighting an ultimate battle. Lufia 2 is a prequel, and it’s the story of those legendary heroes, which ends with that same ultimate battle as the final boss. In Lufia 1, the heroes speak very formally. They sound stalwart and brave and a bit old fashioned, as legendary heroes should. In Lufia 2, we know these characters more as real people, and the dialog treads the exact same ground but it’s much less formal, makes them sound less hypercompetent.

star trek online, i never gotten used to liking the game, eventhough i dont play it, but trek fans do. it doesnt jive with me, eventhough i like the franchise. probably not for the casual gamer, as it seems pretty complex.

maybe elite dangerous?
