Mass Effect: This is not technically a 'space game' in the same sense as other titles in our list, but it is still set in space and a kick-ass trilogy (sorry, Andromeda).Freespace 2: Just an awesome classic space combat sim.Freelancer: A gem of a game that offers an immersive galaxy to explore, if you manage to secure a copy.

Everything is settled once your broadsides take aim and fire. What makes it feel so unique is instead of relying on front-mounted weaponry, you're engaging with the enemy as if you were an assassin on a pirate ship. Think of Rebel Galaxy as a wonderful mashup of Freelancer and Firefly. Still, it's a fun arcade shooter that requires you to ensure you're rocking the best equpiment your funds can afford. Rebel Galaxy ($19) is somewhat of a strange entry on our list because while it's an excellent and rather unique experience, it can become a little grind-like and repetitive.
