I'm looking for recommendations for a computer game to have my students play for my "Science & Media" class next semester. Something that gives a suggestive answer to the question of, "what would science writing look like in game form?"
Which is to say, not just a game that has science in it, or just an "educational game" meant to teach some narrow scientific content (i.e., Math Blaster), but a "serious game" that is both a game but sits on a core of realistic science/technology.
The one I've been looking at for this is "Surviving Mars" (a "hard-scifi" colonization sim game) but the reviews are pretty mixed. I've thought about Kerbal Space Program but that seems too "sim" and not enough "game" for my purposes (with perhaps too high a wonk curve).
Factorio, crazy in depth process optimization and analysis

Expand to board games and you could do "Terraforming Mars"
Kerbal Space Program or X-Plane. I can't think of anything outside the aerospace genre though.
Invasive Species Oregon Trail.

It takes some work to write/setup, but I designed a choose your own adventure for my cyber class, which worked well. Students choose a quest as they made decisions and had to complete corresponding assignments
