    PC - RTX4080.

    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    PC - RTX4080.

    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

    Maybe its good on PS4 but having no graphic setting on PC is weird. Having 1080p and 30 FPS locked looks absolutelly terrible. This makes Star Trek Online look good (which is btw over 10 years old). Pc port could use some work. Cant speak about the rest since i decided to wait for a patch. I know that graphics doesnt matter that much but i want it to be at least watchable. + its Epic only.

    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 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.

    Star Trek in game format has often not been synonymous with quality and unfortunately this time it is not a hit either. The story is interesting and the characters are generally colourful and well written. However, it is hard to give these characters more life and we have to deal with the stiff animations and the weak voice acting unfortunately.
