    Amazing game that had me giddy one moment and contemplating the deepest decisions I've seen since mass effect 2. The writing really touches on the nature of lower deck enlisted vs the command decisions of bridge crew. As a former military I've never seen such appreciation in a game ever. Minus 1 point for a few sound hiccups and lower graphics.

    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

    I'm glad new Star Trek game come out. It has some parts that could be more polished (like more settings, some UI problems while playing on keyboard and mouse or strange UX decisions for example using space instead of escape, low fps lock). Overall its great game in awesome franchise, that deserves more games. I can feel my decisions matters and i feel star trek wibe in this game, andI'm glad new Star Trek game come out.

    As a life long trekkie growing up with TNG, DS9 & VOY I have been bitterly disillusioned by the "nu-trek" that we have suffered recently including the heart-breakingly bad Picard series, when I saw this was being released I was EXTREMELY sceptical. I anticipated it would be yet more cynical dystopian Trek, the antithesis of what Trek should be.

    Thankfully, I was wrong, I was VERY wrong.

I anticipated it would be yet more cynical dystopian Trek, the antithesis of what Trek should be.

    Thankfully, I was wrong, I was VERY wrong. In terms of ST games this is probably one of the best from a narrative perspective, being put into the shoes of two characters, one a senior bridge officer and the other a lower decks Petty Officer working the hum drum engineering jobs of the ship. Each have their own unique perspective and effect on the story. I have to say I absolutely loved every minute of the story. It was a very well paced, intelligent story that presents the player with a wide array of choices, putting you at the heart of the ST universe. This is like the classic Trek of old where the line of right and wrong is walked, there are ethical and moral quandaries to consider and solve and (if you are so inclined) how to a Starfleet Officer should conduct themselves. That combined with very deep and well written characters it brings this game to life. I had an absolute blast with this.

    From a technical standpoint its not incredible, if I had to be harsh, the characters are basically from the Sims4 and the graphical performance is very mid but to be frank, thats not what this game is about. The graphics and character models are perfectly serviceable to get you through an incredibly enjoyable and story rich "Telltale" style game.

    I am sad that I have played the game and have finished it, I wish I could do it all again and enjoy it all over again. This is basically the only game in recent memory that I am absolutely desperate to see get a sequel and the Studio will have my money if that comes to pass.

    A must play for TNG era trekkies, this game is phenomenal as a ST game if a little rough round the edges.    … Expand

    A game for a true Trek fan. Good story and good graphics with excellent philosophical dilemmas. I really was invested in the characters as if I was watching a good Trek movie.

    Review for PC. The bad, frame rate can be a bit off at times and no options for high resolutions, but in the end this didn't bother me much. I really only noticed it when I first started.

    You'll like it if you're a fan of Telltale games, and you'll love it if you're a Star Trek fan.

    Genuinely fantastic authentic Star Trek adventure. It puts recent TV efforts to shame for how well it puts you into the universe of Star Trek.

    An honest-to-goodness Star Trek game that really feels like it respects its source material. Great voice work, fantastic story, and a fun way to spend a weekend for *any* fan of science fiction. It's a can't-miss for any ST fan, though!

    The game its a little bit outdate and buggy but the adventure is amazing: a real trek story from TNG well written.

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

    I thought it was great, but short. Better than most of the Star Trek movies that came out recently. Compared to those this is better value. The story really reminded me of ST:TNG. Which is a great place to be.

    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.
