Thousands of years from now, overpopulation has ravaged the planet.

Existence itself is a crime, and criminals face million-year sentences. The only way for hundreds of millions of people to win their freedom is to kill giant monsters that roam the world. Freedom Wars might have the most depressing story in all of gaming. Freedom Wars is one of the best reasons to pick up a Vita long after Sony has given up on the system. Buy Freedom Wars. The horrors of the Nazis practically define dystopia.

Series protagonist B. Blazkowicz is on a mission to make the Nazis pay…. Buy Wolfenstein: The New Order. Just from a gameplay perspective, Remember Me is probably the worst game on this list.

This classic title embraces its sci-fi setting much more than similarly-themed games.

But the real highlight is the tight Zelda -inspired gameplay throughout that adds a few twists of its own, like photography and a spaceship. At first, it seems like the ideal future.

Few games have nailed such a unique atmosphere so well. Deus Ex has never strayed too far from its cyberpunk origins. Big ideas like humanity's relationship with technology, the ethics of augmentation, and the morality of actions in extreme environments can be made more intimate and personal through putting the player in the driver's seat.

Or we can just blow through some crazy-looking aliens with big laser guns too. Video games are meant to be fun after all. But while some games can pull off the balance of fun and big ideas to create gripping stories and exciting gameplay experiences, some miss the mark entirely.

Maybe the controls are too wonky, maybe the visuals are bland, or maybe the story is just too cliche and boring. The camera will usually be bad too. But whatever the reason, these bad games can't meet their peers when it comes to making both good video games and good sci-fi. In that spirit, we're going to take a look at both in this list. The good and the bad. We're going to celebrate the games which create new and memorable science fiction stories and put the ones that don't measure up under the microscope to see why their sci-fi stinks.

Whether that sci-fi is laser gunning aliens or examining complex issues. Ask any Star Wars fan what the best video game in the franchise is, nine out of ten will say Knights of the Old Republic. The plot twist at its heart still sends shivers down fans' spines. It was what many fans wanted out of a prequel. With the popularity of Mass Effect, it's no surprise that Bioware would plan a spinoff for the franchise.

Too bad it didn't quite pan out. Andromeda took players to a whole new galaxy with hundreds of new planets that wouldn't be generated until the player wit there. That was the plan at least, but after five years of development, Bioware couldn't get Andromeda to measure up to that promise.

Combined with bad graphical animation and a muddled story, fans reacted to it with disappointment. No sequel is planned at this time, possibly ending the Mass Effect brand. It has all the hallmarks of the subgenre of sci-fi; megacorporations, hackers, and that particular Philip K. Dick question of the line between human and robot. On the gameplay front, its mix of role-playing game, first-person shooter, and stealth elements created a unique experience that brought players into its engrossing if archetypal world.

The story of Adam Jensen and its themes of transhumanism rang true in our increasingly digital world. Movie tie-in games are almost universally terrible. Cheap, quick cash-ins made to ride on the movie's name. They get even worse when connected to such a storied sci-fi property like Star Trek.

Plagued by hacking mini-games and badly implemented co-op, this game reduced one of the most thoughtful franchises in sci-fi to a boilerplate cover shooter. Players had the option of playing as either Kirk or Spock, but in single player, the computer controls the other character. And the computer controls about as well as a broken golf cart. The alien invasion is a central story in the sci-fi genre and many games have used it as a backdrop.

What makes X-COM special is that it portrayed an alien invasion in the present day from a tactical point of view. An updating of a classic PC game, Enemy Unknown brought its turn-based tactical gameplay into the 21st century. Not only do you lead troops into battle but you also manage resources, create new weapons, and plan strategies on a global scale. This is the game to play if you want to act out the fantasy of supreme commander fighting off the alien invasion.

Perfect Dark was a seminal game for the Nintendo Developed by the same team behind Goldeneye, it was a unique shooter that built on that legendary title with a brand new story.

Anticipation was high for a sequel over the 5 years of development. But when Perfect Dark Zero was released in , the results were disappointing. Time had passed the series by. The gameplay was stuck in the previous generation and the enemy AI was bad.

But worst of all, the setting that was so unique on the N64 was cliched on the Xbox. Borderlands 2. Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Resident Evil 5. Half-Life 2: Episode Two. Resistance 2. Crysis 3. Resistance: Fall of Man. Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles. Lost Planet 2.
