To be quite honest, Sci-fi is given alot more freedom than traditional fantasy. You can really do anything you want in the future and call it Sci-fi. Fantasy is usually limited to the Tolkien setting.

Dead Space, Halo, and Mass Effect are all Sci-fi games, but all very different worlds.

Skyrim, Dragon Age, and Dragon's Dogma are all Fantasy games, but all very similar worlds. (the amount of dragons is too damn high!)

Also, while Dead Space has a very interesting lore associated with it, the games hardly do it justice.
