For this reason, this paper intends to determine the seven elements of Sci-Fi through literature review. Then, the seven elements and Metacritic scores are used as the standard for case selection. Three excellent Sci-Fi PC games, including <HALO 3>, <Death Stranding> and <Cyberpunk 2077>, are chosen as the objects of analysis. Furthermore, data analysis is conducted based on the NCS to discuss the similarity of hues in Sci-Fi games. Last but not least, by concluding and summarizing the application of colors in excellent games, this study strives to provide some theoretical references and basic data for the color production of Sci-Fi games.
