I've been thinking a lot about Death Stranding, and why it works as a video game. Whatever it's issues are with story, structure and gameplay, it's my favorite scifi video game in a really long time - for me the setting is up there with Alpha Centauri and Star Control 2. Music is also a big part of Death Stranding, and the righ4 music is also a necessary component to the best scifi games as well. Especially similar to SMAC, where the game is less fun to play as fun to learn the setting. Anyway, I'd like to see where this game compares to great sci fi games of the past.
I will try to list only one game for each "world" but feel free to disagree with me if you think a different game represents that setting better.
I am trying to stick mostly to strict science fiction. Some light science fantasy is ok (Star Wars, FFVII) but not full blown science fantasy (Phantasy Star Online).
Poll is choose up to 5.
Second Star Control 2 is a typo, should be StarCraft 2
