This week on JK! Games!, we’re breaking down why sci-fi games feel different — from Mass Effect to retro sci-fi games you’ve probably never heard of.

We look at sci-fi games through the lens of our own experiences — where it started, when it clicked, and what we want next. From early memories to games like Mass Effect that completely changed how we see storytelling, we dive into why sci-fi continues to be one of the most exciting genres in gaming.

If you’ve ever played a game that made you stop and think “this is what games can be”… this episode is for you.
