Could You recommend some good sci-fi games (not a big fan of flight sims and MMO/F2P)? Played most of mainstream games (Mass Effect, XCOM, Syndicate, Crysis, Bulletstorm, W40k games etc.), so I'm looking for less popular titles.

There's Tribes Ascend, but I'm not sure if it's not mainstream, been a long time I stopped playing.

Well, it's F2P though.

Planetside 2 is sweet.

Republic Commando is an awesome star wars squad shooters.
FTL, I believe mentioned below, is a really awesome starship command roguelike, really fun.
Gratuitous Space Battles is kinda cool, a space RTS where you design ships and formations but don't control the battle. Dead Space is sci-fi horror. SPAZ is a pretty cool indie spaceship game.

WAY BETTER! PS2 is good but its glitchy and buggy as hell. Tribes: Ascend runs pretty smooth and has a lot of action. But you cant compare them on gameplay. Both really different shooters.

System Shock 2. It's coming to steam "soon" supposedly, but it's currently available on GOG.

I hope that Valve is going to do their job if they put it on Steam and actually give credits to guys who fixed it... because it certainly wasn't Night Dive.

Oh boy, here have some suggestions:

E.Y.E. Divine Cybermancy - Do you know what's happening in this game? No. But that's okay, cause you'll like it anyway.
FTL - BUY THIS NOW, RIGHT NOW (while its on sale, and get it from the developers as it gives you a drm-free copy for you humble library and a steam key)
Waking Mars - A great game.
Primordia - Scifi point and click adventure. I hear good things.
S.P.A.Z. - Fun, although gets to be a bit of a slog halfway through. On sale right now though for the Linux sale.
Miner Wars 2081 - Descent 2012.
Retrovirus - Descent 2013.
Beyond Good & Evil - An older action/adventure game, very good.
System Shock 2 - Now on gog!
Gimbal - A great top-down space shooter on greenlight
Fallout: New Vegas - Maybe not the kind of sci-fi you're looking for, and definitely mainstream, but if you haven't played this you should rectify that...
Natural Selection 2 - Alien v. Human multiplayer game.
Command & Conquer 3 - Mainstay of RTS.
Endless Space - Space 4X Strategy.
Sins of a Solar Empire - More Space Strategy!
AI War: Fleet Command - EVEN MORE SPACE STRATEGY.

Also, these aren't out yet but you might be interested in them:

Planetary Annihilation - A Kickstarted RTS game that will involve mutliple planets and galaxies as the battlefields. From the makers of Total Annhiliation.
Starbound - From one of the makers of Terraria, a similar pixely game, but in space and with a ton of content and procedurally generated planets.
Star Command - A Star Trek-like isometric build and fight spaceships game.
Routine - FPS-stlye moonbase horror. Greenlit, should be out soon.
Kinetic Void - Also greenlit but awaiting release, this is a 3D space fighter/simulator with a focus on complete spaceship customization.

Hope you find something :)

I'd say Omikron and Anachronox. Especially Anachronox. If you're into point and click though, go for Gemini Rue, or if you're a hardcore fan of the genre try and hunt down The Ward (won't be easy...) or download 6 Days a Skeptic (hope that's the right title), or pick up The Dig on Steam (bit of a pixel hunt there though).
