User blog:Masseffect7/Other games to look at while we wait.

Hey everyone, ever since I completed the series for the 4th time I've really been looking for another Sci-Fi game to play until the next Mass Effect comes out, which could be in a long time. I've found some games that look pretty awesome, but unfortunately they're not out yet and some of them could possibly be coming out at the same time as the next Mass Effect (already know I'm taking that week off). Despite the fact that they're not coming out for awhile, it's still fun to see how the development of these games are doing. The first game I'll talk about is probably the most well known, Star Citizen. Star Citizen, to me, has a very Star Wars feel to it. It has the option to play a campaign mode as a fighter pilot, or go straight into the open world of trade, piracy, etc. This game has broken records on Kickstarter for funding and is being made by the same guy who made Wing Commander over 20 years ago. The graphics for this look amazing and will require a pretty high end PC to work. It doesn't seem like this will be a console game. The next game that looks interesting is called No Man's Sky. This game is unique in that it is completely procedural in the creation of the universe (the universe is created as you play it making a unique universe each time you play) while allowing you to explore planetary surfaces and space seamlessly. Also, the planets appear to have wildlife and it looks like you will be able to engage in combat outside of your ship. The next game I am extremely excited about even though it has received the least amount of hype. This game is called Limit Theory. Like No Man's Sky, it is procedural in the creation of the universe, but unlike the latter it is procedural in the creation of ships and space stations. Also, the AI and the overall simulation element looks to be much more developed than No Man's Sky. I believe this is because No Man's Sky is more geared toward exploration, whereas Limit Theory is an overall space simulation, simulating trade, conflict, resource exploitation, and more. If you're curious and want to see more, each one of these games has videos on youtube, with Star Citizen and Limit Theory having the most extensive collections.
