Aliens are very frequent guests in the world of the gaming industry, which gamers encounter in sci–fi settings of the distant future or an alternative reality. The plot about aliens often has two developments – either races peacefully coexist, or they fight among themselves for the right to own vast space territories.
According to the setting of most alien toys, people make great scientific discoveries that allow them to travel through space. After that, they inevitably encounter other intelligent races. Then peace is established, a federation is created, or war begins. And the gamer, according to the tradition of the genre, plays almost a key role in this confrontation, or even can control one of the factions, including an alien one.
Features of alien games on PC:
Games about aliens attract special attention of gamers, as anyone has always wondered if there are other intelligent races, and if so, what do they look like? Video game developers try to give answers to these questions and sometimes provide exhaustive information.
Separately, it is necessary to highlight horror and survival simulators, in which the obviously weaker player confronts a very aggressive space race and tries to survive – a vivid example of a game about a predator, an alien and about necromorphs in the Dead Space series.
