    Star Trek: Resurgence is a brilliant game that successfully recaptures the spirit of the classic shows. The former Telltale developers, Dramatic Labs, effectively update the formula to bring variety and ensure that adventurers are consistently engrossed. If you are a Trekkie or have enjoyed games made by Telltale, definitely put this on your gaming to-do list.

    Star Trek Resurgence feels like an episode of Star Trek, for better or worse. I feel like the character models should move more fluidly, react more naturally if I'm going to be staring at them so much. The game somehow has a way of railroading me while still leaving me uncertain of what it wants me to do. In the end, however, I found it fun. It's slow and deliberate, but that's what works for this franchise. I'm a Star Trek fan and this made me feel like I was part of the story. If you're not fan, this might not be the game for you, but if you wear pointy ears, know what the Picard Maneuver is, and speak conversational Klingon, give it a shot.

    Here's hoping Star Trek: Resurgence leads to more Star Trek video games. With such a rich history, the world of Star Trek has so much that could be explored. For a series based on exploration, Resurgence does not allow the player to explore much beyond the designated path of the story. With a story as good as this one, that hardly matters, but future Star Trek games may want to consider a different approach. If storytelling and characters like the ones in Resurgence were incorporated into an open-world Star Trek game, for example, it would likely have a much wider appeal. Still, the future for Star Trek gaming looks promising. Star Trek: Resurgence gets Star Trek, embracing the optimism and hope that sets the franchise apart, and celebrating humanity at its best.

    Star Trek: Resurgence has an interesting story with thought-provoking scenarios and two good protagonists. While it makes adequate use of the interactive-story genre, there was room to improve the choices and gameplay.

    The story of Star Trek: Resurgence does an excellent job of capturing what makes Star Trek work by presenting strong characters and tough decisions. Some storylines lack closure and it doesn’t always run smoothly, but its heart is in the right place.

    Star Trek: Resurgence is possibly one of the more accurate games to have captured the Star Trek world in a more contemplative manner, with the adventure game format being particularly suited to it. With a compelling narrative, interesting characters (new and returning) and a game that plays well, there is a lot to like here, despite a number of technical hiccups on the PC version.

    Disappointing Star Trek adventure that badly needs additional polish and bug fixes to be at least mediocre.

Yes, there are bugs and glitches, but I’m choosing to believe the developers when they say they are working on patches and enhancements. And knowing what the industry is like; cut an indie dev some slack! Odds are they had to get something out the door by a certain time or else forfeit whatever percentage of pay they were contracted. Besides, it’s either ‘vote with your wallet’ and show Paramount/CBS that there is an appetite for Star Trek games (and with enough sales and buzz we could get a sequel!?), or don’t support the first non free2play or mobile Star Trek game in forever and end up with no more being produced for another 30 years… … Expand

It's not a typical PC shoot-em-up, it follows the Telltale style of "choose your own adventure" story telling. It's like being a part of a Star Trek episode with your choices affecting how the episode plays out. Graphics are not groundbreaking, typical of a Telltale style game, but modern enough to be enjoyable. I found the story compelling and recommend the game, especially for Trekkers!… Expand

    While it has some graphical issues and bugs at launch (why it is 9/10), playing through the whole game was amazing. The story was gripping, the character interactions complicated, and overall, a very well-made game. I recommend this to anyone who is a fan of Star Trek, especially of the TNG/DS9/VOY era. The feel and story fit that timeline very well. It isn't a particularly challenging game, though there is some combat, it has a story mode if those combat portions prove difficult. The main appeal is making tough choices and seeing how they play out. The choices you make will bring some characters closer to the playable characters while others may distance themselves. The medium they tell the story in is very, very fitting for Star Trek.

    Once patches are released and the small technical issues fixed, this will be a 10/10 game. Highly recommend!    … Expand

    Having been a long time Trekkie I discovered this by accident while scrolling the Epic store and decided to by it on a whim as the reviews looked good.

    Now I don't usually either pre order or purchase games at release as I've been burned before (Arkham Knight i'm looking at you!) but I thought sod it, it can't be that bad... oh how wrong I was!

    Graphically this is nothing to shout about, it's done in Telltale's sudo comic book style (as the devs are ex TT staff) which I could accept as adequate if it wasnt for the god awful lack of graphical options. Who builds a game in 2023 with no native widescreen support? FML it is painful trying to get this working on a 4k monitor.

    But even if you can get it to play with your display it won't matter as the game will be locked to 30FPS (again in 2023!!!) for some unfathomable reason. Why? I mean it's not as if the Unreal Engine can't handle it especially as it looks like a PS3 era game.

    Next is the character movement and facial animations. Holy **** on a stick, for a narrative heavy point and click based game the lack of fluidity in movement and the comical facial expressions actually take you out of the moment more often than drawing you in.

    Following on from that **** show is the sound, or lack there of. I'm sure there are some interesting conversations to be had in this game. I couldn't tell you though as I can't hear any of them through the clipped audio and horrendous lip syncing issues.

    Gameplay wise, it's serviceable. You're here for the story, which is actually really good, but you keep getting interupted by random QTE which often break the immersion of a scene and are usually just filler. Oh and if you ever wanted to know if being in phaser dual is exciting... if this game is anything to go by the answer is nope. It is instead just mildly annoying.

    Much like the controls and oh my god the motion blur! Just give me options for graphics and controls!!!

    So you may think at this point that I think ST:R is a POS? Well currently, in it's bug riddled, half arsed, comically broken state, yes it is. The only thing that is saving it is the story.

    If they can address the major bugs with a patch then i'll give it another go just to see the story though, as it really is that good. But until then, sorry this is getting shoved back onto the proverbial shelf for a while. That'll teach me for wanting nice things!    … Expand

I enjoyedThe story is very much like an episode of Star Trek TNG. There are some great cameos by past characters, including Ryker and Spock. I enjoyed the storyline and the dual perspective of the two main characters. However, it didn't feel like there were many genuine choices, and the reactions of some of the crew can make you scratch your head. The interface is a bit clunky, especially when walking or running. This is definitely not an action shooter, but more like a story on rails. But if you're in it for the story and the "Trek", there's plenty to enjoy.… Expand
