I need help choosing a Space Game Genre

If you don't mind that it's a bit older, I heartily recommend Darkstar One ... it's a bit like good old Privateer, but with a very interesting ship upgrade system and a nice storyline. Some people don't like the controls or have wrong expectation, but I found it quite playable: http://store.steampowered.com/app/12330/Darkstar_One/

Elite Dangerous + Horizons is a great game, and if exploration is your thing, well 400 billion systems to go out and explore. I have clocked over 5000 hours in Elite since Alpha (Damn Frontier adding a in-game played time to your ships). Definitely got my $$ worth and still playing.

SPG: Warlords - Going to be a little bias here, since I love this game and the Development team. Ton of fun, approaching 400 hours played. Another space game, Space game fans should own.

Evochron: Legacy - Another amazingly good game by a single person, whats not to like about this one or the previous incarnations.

Rebel Galaxy - Like this game, but the 2D flight model isnt my thing.

No Man's Sky - Improving and with the current event going on, could become a lot better or worse. Fun game for general exploration but slightly to samey on every planet.

X-Rebirth - Nope nope Nopety nope! Steer clear of this, Hopefully the next X game will be better after this mess. 6o_ hours played and most of that was sorting bugs out to continue the campaign or getting some feature to actually work......

For the others I have played them all, some are ok others don't suit my play style so can not overly comment on them fairly.

Stay away from Stellaris. It's one of the most disappointing games I've played in some time.

You are better off with the old classics like Master of Orion 2 or Galactic Civilizations 2.

If you like strategies - try Star Wars Empire at War. It's old, but still good.)

One of the best space flight sims ever made, and it's completely free,based on the Freespace 2 engine:
BATTLESTAR GALACTICA:DIASPORA
Good luck, Nugget.

i would say NMS is probably worth the $24 they are asking at this point, it was not a bad game it just did not stand up to the hype that was around it and felt lacking for the $60 price tag it came with.as far as space games go i personally loved space engineers (just reinstalled it myself) and a great new game astroneer one of the best new games i have played in sometime that did not feel like a clone of something else.

Astroneer ?
Not on sale yes.

House of the dying sun ?
It's on sale. 10€ for 5-6h. Ace combat feeling. Amazing ending.

Anno 2205 ?
Some say it's the worst anno, i would say it's the most casual. The most beautiful too. It's management.

Call of Duty infinite warfare ?
i don't joke, it has an excellent single-player campaign in space.

Endless space ?
Super space strategy game !

X3 is muuuuch better than X rebirth.
Starbound is very different vs Terraria. Amazing Starbound !

In your list :
Elite dangerous - House of the dying sun - Everspace
But honestly Starbound seems much better choice because +40h with space jumps and planets exploration, far superior to NMS.

What about Space Engineers?:

Also I heard X3 is pretty good.

I guess thats all the suggestion I needed ^_^ Bought 2 space games in the end.
Thank you all for the Feedback.
