Would you classify these as SciFi or something else? Myself, I'm not sure. I only know that I like these kinds of stories the best.
I think fantasy covers these kinds of stories. SF is particular that there are a set of technology advances or even assumptions (such as warp drive) that carry the story but otherwise it has to follows the laws of physics and other science disciplines. Fantasy has no such restriction.
