    Yes it's a little light on content. Yes much of the content there is focuses heavily on combat. Yes they've played rather fast and loose with elements of the trek universe. Yes much of the control and simulation are a bit too simple, and yes it's priced rather excessively.

    Yet I find myself coming back time and time again, somehow despite the above the actual gameplay feels compelling, the experience of being on the bridge so convincing and the interaction with, what is easily the best community I've encountered in an online game, so entertaining and rewarding. Even when playing on your own there is something special about this game. Sure it's not the perfect spaceship game, nor is it the perfect Star Trek game. But when you add the sheer awesomeness of being transported onto the Bridge of a Starship thanks to the power of VR it becomes one of the most enjoyable games I've played in a very long time.

    We're at the start of the journey here, with luck the game will expand well beyond what's there today, but even if it doesn't this is an unmissable experience. A real indication of how amazing VR is.    … Expand

    The most fun I had in VR yet...it's fun alone already but can be a bit challenging towards the end of the campaign...it really shines when you're playing it with friends! This is what makes VR so exciting...it creates completely new gaming experiences never imagined before. Must buy if you have a PSVR and if not another reason to buy one.

    I tried this both on the PSVR and on the PC via the Oculus, PC version had no issue getting any online games as there seem to be plenty of people out there playing it.....PSVR on the other hand was a choir, and in a hour of trying i had gotten into 2 games but with only 1 and 2 other PS4 players.....seems STBC is not that big on the PS4 judging by the fact nobody seems to be playing itI tried this both on the PSVR and on the PC via the Oculus, PC version had no issue getting any online games as there seem to be plenty of people out there playing it.....PSVR on the other hand was a choir, and in a hour of trying i had gotten into 2 games but with only 1 and 2 other PS4 players.....seems STBC is not that big on the PS4 judging by the fact nobody seems to be playing it online.... PC is where it is if you want to enjoy this game totally.

    PC Version...10/10...full speed ahead.

    IF you're a Star Trek fan and have always wanted to be on the bridge you owe it to yourself to play this game. It's the next best thing to actually being there! Even non fans will have a blast playing this game, the social experience.

    This is the first game I have ever had where I didn't want to call Ubisoft (and uPlay) offensive names. It is a genuine fun game and is what VR was made for. This game is like a proof of concept of what can be done. Love it.

    While I'd probably recommend this game if I had a VR setup, playing the game without one isn't too bad. The game does have some flaws such as minimal options when it comes to avatar customisation, poor lip synching, the forcing of VOIP to be always-on, the lack of licensed music as well as it being pretty fiddly to setup if buying from the UPlay store, but it also seems to capture theWhile I'd probably recommend this game if I had a VR setup, playing the game without one isn't too bad.

    This is a game that's all about immersion. If you've ever wanted to command a star ship, this game will make you feel like you're there, actually doing it. Each station has just enough depth to feel like there's strategy in what you're doing.

    Most fun I've had in VR to date, and a must purchase for any Trek fan, or hell, anyone with a VR headset.

    As others have said, it could use a DLC back for more mission types. The devs are asking for feedback on the ubi forums site though, so I'm hopeful that they'll keep providing support for this down the line.    … Expand

    The production values are top notch making Star Trek: Bridge Crew one of those rare VR experiences that feels like a AAA title, and likely part of most VR gamers’ collections.

    Star Trek: Bridge Crew may offer a steep learning curve to overcome, but if you've got a trusty crew by your side, there's serious fun to be had here for both fans and non-Trekkies alike. Interiors are well-rendered, control panels are easy to use, and action is intense, making it easy to lose yourself in the one of the first truly cooperative space sims in VR that offers a deeply engaging social component, hopefully lasting well into the 23rd century.

    Perhaps the most remarkable thing about Star Trek: Bridge Crew is that it’s a VR experience that encourages repeat play. Having put a decent amount of time into the title already, it’s understandable that some may hope for additional content added, such as an adversarial crew vs crew mode. What’s in the package already, though, makes for some hectic times and an incredible use of the technology. The message behind the actual game mechanics, that of the need for understanding and cooperation among the players, is possibly the most clever expression of the themes of the franchise a game has ever mustered.
