But if you want to experience the complete thrills, spills and nuances of spaceflight, from that first launch to interstellar exploration, Kerbal Space Program is the game for you.

Outer Wilds is smaller than all the other games on this list, limited in scope to a single Solar System. Yet it arguably captures the majesty of spaceflight better than any of them.

And what a star system it is to explore. They include the hourglass twins, a binary planet system that share the same sandy surface, intermittently depositing the sand from one to the other as they orbit.

Giants Deep, meanwhile, is a gas giant wracked by storms so powerful they can catapult entire islands into the stratosphere. And Outer Wilds is fundamentally about cycles, about learning what happens on different planets at different times, then using this information to solve its intricate clockwork puzzle. More than this though, Outer Wilds captures the cosmic majesty of space, the small and fleeting nature of our own existence.

All you can do it close your eyes, wait for it to wash over you, and then start again. The action-packed dogfighting pioneered in Wing Commander was mastered in Freespace 2. Developed by Volition Software, Volition 2 offered a rousing, intelligently crafted space opera told through elegantly crafted tactical space combat missions.

Freespace 2 is over twenty years old, but it still looks spectacular. The use of colour in both its environments and its combat help considerably to stave off the ravages of time, while its motley interstellar battlefields are illuminated by searingly bright laser and missile fire.

Yet what makes Freespace 2 special is its storytelling and the sense of camaraderie it engenders between you and your squadmates. Squad tactics is a significant part of the experience, with your squadmates able to help you destroy tough enemies, or pull away opponents trying to turn you into space dust. After 36 years, Elite remains King of the space castle.

Elite Dangerous offers the same blend of fighting, trading and exploration that made the original such a landmark title, but with a renewed focus on making the experience as immersive as possible. In this, Elite Dangerous is comfortably the most successful game in this list.

From its hyper-detailed space-cockpits, to its seamless, player-driven station docking, to its highly realistic galaxy design with authentic star-systems and orbital mechanics.

One of my fondest memories of playing Elite Dangerous involved taking a grand tour of the galaxy, searching out of its most incredible sights, from the massive bulk of the Red Giant Betelgeuse, to the black hole located at Sagittarius A. Somewhat feature-light at launch, Elite has been consistently supported by Frontier Developments over the last six years, and a huge number of features have been added, including planetary landings and ship-launched fighters, the return of the Thargoids, new missions, new ships, and overhauls to various systems such as mining and the in-game crime and punishment system.

X Terran Conflict In the mids, the space sim was in hibernation as it cruised through deep space, with barely a star or planet in sight for most of the decade.
