X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter (Remake)
Imagine if you can play the remake of this nearly 20-year-old game with a hands-on-throttle-and-stick (HOTAS) setup (although the original allowed the use of a joystick) and a VR headset. The classic Star Wars game brought you to a galaxy far, far away and put you in the cockpit of the franchise’s iconic spacecraft. Even though the original game was mainly focused on multiplayer combat, you could take on single-player with the "Balance of Power" expansion, which is actually available on Steam.
Even with its great gameplay, its graphics leave something to be desired. A visual upgrade, along with some additions to the multiplayer modes, could bring fans back to the game. However, it’s unclear if EA will ever give the game the remake it deserves. Until its announcement, you can always try a modern take on the space combat genre with Elite Dangerous: Arena.
