Annoyingly, I thought of a game that I had in mind for this list but completely forgot about by the time we came to write it and that's Huntdown. Please consider it an honorary member of this video as it should most certainly have been on here. Please do let us know any of your favourite science fiction games for the Switch in the comments section!

Happy gaming! Glen and Mark.
nice so far.
Don't forget Void Bastards! Best Roguelike I've ever played!
Thanks for the list! These are incredibly helpful as a late Switch adopter! Great Stuff, as always!
Why is Amber Heard on the thumbnail of this video?
Doom… Where Doom?
dude freelancer is SO GOOD OMFG
I’m playing alien isolation finally (been on my backlog for years) and I am astonished at how good it looks and runs, even on my switch lite
Awesome list. I'd add Warframe to it. Looks great. Plays great (if you don't mind grindy games). It's got a fantastic world / lore with a lot of mystery that the devs slowly uncover with each major update. Even got some Warhammer 40k elements in there. The game modes are solid and fun (action, stealth, aerial / underwater, starship battles), but a bit disjointed. Though the devs have been trying hard to mash each into each other as the updates come in.
Hyper Light Drifter is a must grab, I was lucky enough to pick up the physical from Limited Run Games. Axiom Verge was also an amazing must buy metroidvania, I wish I had the physical of the AV1. Highly recommend both games.
no into the breach??
What do you think about Starlink?
Hey there’s nothing wrong with liking Voyager, Jane Way got more balls than most men
I want Kotor just to play pazaak
wish they would just re-skin these Everspace ships and add Kilrathi (Tiger Aliens) and just re-make Wing Commander!
I love the picture xD
Couldn’t get into Everspace. The controls sucked so much. I was hoping it would handle more like Chorus. But I just couldn’t get a handle on the controls.
I have a confession. I’m a Janeway fan too ?
Ya I think you'd count death's part of the game lol c'mon now haha This is a great list guys! A lot of good picks! Great work! Thanks!
Having been following gaming closely for a few years. Are we really at a point where EA is praised for when it released Crysis and Mass Effect? I enjoyed Mass Effect and even plenty of EA's sorts titles but EA didn't do niche games. EA where still a company focused on making block busters which aim at a low common denominator.
100% about JarJar binks ? ?
So, I saw the video, went and bought State of Mind and you were right.
It's a lot more on the sci-fi visual novel field, but it looks great and the story really hooks you, and for that very frequently low sale price!
Definitely worth it, thank you!
That game rebel galaxy outlaw reminds of a game called Dark Star One which is an old school space shooter that has the same kind of look but its an old early 2000s game.
What do you guys think about cloud punk?
When I first bought State of Mind I was pretty disappointed that it was mostly a interactive story game but the more you play it the better it gets since it has a pretty good story.
Ah damn, shame about the Everspace sequel.
Rebel Galaxy Outlaw did not grab me. Unlikeable Space Lesbian was a total downer.
I wish they would release a physical copy for Alien Isolation. They price for the digital copy is just too much, even when it gets a discount. I think it would get the credit it deserves if they do.
Something that has taken most of my life to discover: I enjoy sci-fi, but "SPACE" is an absolute turnoff to me. I'll take a sci-fi adventure with *PEOPLE*, ships, space-pirates, etc etc, over "explore the infinite vastness of space". I heard that introverts tend to be more into space, and as I've become more extroverted, I've realized I'm too interested in people to want to jump into the vast emptiness of space.
Dude that was the best star trek ever made
Outer Worlds!! Just got it on sale to try it out. Let's hope it's good…
How tf is there no Xenoblade 1 or even Bioshock…..? Bioshock 1 is one of the most amazing science fiction games, ever….
No Xcom2?
Really digging the podcast style video ??
I know it's not likely but I think some Dead Space ports on switch would be amazing.
Man I'm really into void bastards right now. Was sceptical till my brother showed it to me.
I don't usually like sci-fi theme, but I like Metroid Dread from the first trailer. It looks really good
Hyper Light Drifter is on my wishlist! It seems like a lot of fun
I recently got Space Crew… pretty fun game. Especially if you liked Bomber Crew.
Some great si-fi games there.
I really need to try Hyper Light Drifter again. I sort of gave up on it as it was getting too difficult for me. I will say the artwork in this game is AMAZING and it is a very well made game.
