7 Space Video Games You Can Play Now

Fans of games about sci-fi and space will have a huge number of games to choose from in 2020. Some space games releasing in 2020 are Halo Infinite, the new sci-fi shooter from Microsoft, the System Shock remake, and Tactical Galactical, a game where players fight for control of planets.

These games all look like they could be incredibly entertaining but gamers will have to wait months before they can strap themselves into the cockpit and blast off. Those looking to have fun while they wait do have some other good choices of space video games that they can play now.

Dead Space

The Dead Space series likely ended in 2017, when EA chose to close Visceral Games, the developer behind the three Dead Space games. However, just because Dead Space 4 probably isn’t going to happen, there is very little stopping players from going back and enjoying the first Dead Space. The first game lets players assume the role of Isaac Clarke, an engineer who has to fight necromorphs on a ship in space.

Mass Effect 2

BioWare sci-fi RPG Mass Effect: Andromeda disappointed fans when it was released in 2017 and many fans have gone back to play Mass Effect 2. The player character is the commanding officer of the SSV Normandy and they must travel through space, fighting enemies and getting groups to help them fight these enemies. The game also has romance and allows players to make choices about the story.

Starburst

The stars in space look beautiful when seen through a telescope, but the online slot game Starburst brings them much closer to home. The slot game has several reels with different colored gems on them and players spin and try and win the jackpot. To play Starburst slot, you’ll need to find an online casino such as Aspers, as it isn’t available on consoles.

Destiny 2

In Destiny 2, the Traveler has been captured and the player character must fight to try and free them. It’s a difficult task but with armor and weapons to find and craft, developer Bungie makes it a good time. Destiny 2 also has multiplayer gameplay as raids and story missions can be enjoyed with other players.

Kerbal Space Program

Kerbal Space Program is a game in which players create a space program for a group of aliens called the Kerbals. These small green aliens can fly around the galaxy, crafting new stations and visiting new locations. Players can affect the construction of the ship, the funding and they can do experiments to see which ships are best.

Space Engineers

Space Engineers is a space construction game where players can build their own ship. There are items of several different sizes to build and planets to visit too. The game has a large number of fans and some have spent thousands of hours in it.

2020 may have some great games about space, but the number of available sci-fi games suggests that the new releases may have to go to the back. There are many other games that sci-fi fans could play first.

Who doesn’t enjoy listening to a good story. Personally I love reading about the people who inspire me and what it took for them to achieve their success. As I am a bit of a self confessed tech geek I think there is no better way to discover these stories than by reading every day some articles or the newspaper . My bookcases are filled with good tech biographies, they remind me that anyone can be a success. So even if you come from an underprivileged part of society or you aren’t the smartest person in the room we all have a chance to reach the top. The same message shines in my beliefs. All it takes to succeed is a good idea, a little risk and a lot of hard work and any geek can become a success. VENI VIDI VICI .

Saber Interactive, which acquired New World in 2020, told Eurogamer that the studio had not closed. However, it confirmed an unknown number of layoffs.

Embracer says it is “actively working to fill existing open roles” with impacted employees and will provide severance packages. “Saber also assures that development will continue on Insurgency: Sandstorm, as well as on unannounced future projects,” it said.

Over 900 employees were laid off in an “agonizing” but “necessary” process. As always, we hope all victims recover.

Sony: We Need Non-Gamers to Access Our Content

Sony wants non-console owners to access its content beyond its PlayStation-walled garden. This strategy has been slowly implemented: the company has commissioned TV and movie adaptations of its biggest franchises, ported select software to the PC, and launched a mobile gaming division.

In an interview with Nikkei, head Hideaki Nishino explained how this strategy can boost console sales: We want to use movies and dramas to get non-gamers to try PlayStation games. Sales of The Last of Us increased during the live-action drama.

When HBO’s adaptation aired, our The Last of Us content skyrocketed, so we can understand its impact. As a PlayStation fan site, we support this strategy because we want to reach as many people as possible, so if Sony can appeal to non-console owners, that’s a win-win.

More PlayStation users is better, in our opinion.

PowerWash Simulator is one of this month’s PS Plus Essentials, but before you start scrubbing, check out the PS Store. The game has been well supported on PS5 and PS4 with free DLC packs based on Square Enix titles since its release at the start of the year.

Free Final Fantasy VII and Tomb Raider expansions let you clean Croft Manor and Seventh Heaven. The free DLC packs add 10 levels, and the paid ones add more.

Two more Back to the Future and SpongeBob SquarePants expansions cost £6.49 or $7.99 each. You can then scrub the Bikini Bottom and the DeLorean.

The Midgar Special Pack for PowerWash Simulator was another reason to use the cleaning kit. “It doesn’t add much, but getting close to FF7’s props and environments is fun. It offers a fresh take on the beloved title that will please both sides of this collaboration.”
