FTL: Faster Than Light offers a fairly unique approach to space travel. Rather than placing players at the wheel, they are instead expected to manage every aspect associated with the operation of the ship. It might sound a little dry when compared to weaving between asteroids and the like, but it's actually a lot of fun and can lead to some incredibly tense and exciting moments.

Every decision matters and there are plenty of variables that players will need to take into account. Some things, like crew members getting sick, are out of the player's hands but nearly every other mishap can usually be traced back to a bad decision somewhere throughout the journey. It's a game that can be replayed multiple times and one that really manages to stand out in a crowded sky that's filled with plenty of brightly shining stars.
