The name Chris Roberts may ring a bell to some, especially if you’ve played one of his first successful games, the Wing Commander. Star Citizen could be even bigger, but it’s a game that is only available for PC.

It has been in development for around five years and is currently in the alpha stage of completion. Star Citizen, like many games nowadays is crowd funded and the developers are focusing on one part of the game at a time, so we’re not sure exactly when it will be released.

What we do know

The game offers instinctive combat and numerous adventures making it arguably the best space game to have been developed. The player can take the role of a pirate, killer, pilot or smuggler. Its storyline is expansive and intricate, whilst rumours have it that the complete retail version will be available in 2018. Amazingly, the players will only be required to purchase the game once and play for a lifetime. A powerful PC with a powerful graphics card will be needed to play the game.
