It's old and the groundWhile the F2P parts are there with monetization, it never feels like it's extortion like most other F2P games. It's old and the ground missions aren't the best, but it has a lot of replay value, they do a good job of balancing the game and adding new content where while you may have not played in a year, you can jump back on and you're still pretty much in the same place you were. Only reason i'm not giving it a 10 is because of how a lot of the cool ships are locked behind loot boxes.… Expand

It's not really an mmo as I've seen just single player missions. Relatively good game overall though.… Expand

   Note: This is for the state of the game as of September 17, 2016.
   
   Having played this on and off for the past several years on PC (and INote: This is for the state of the game as of September 17, 2016.
   
   Having played this on and off for the past several years on PC (and I even purchased the lifetime subscription), this is in a sad state right now. This is first few PC seasons bad. Mind you, the game has only been out for less than two weeks, but the lessons PWE should have learned from glitches (and fixes thereof) on the PC version did not translate over to the console versions.
   
   Here are my main issues and grievances as of the playable version available during this review:
   
   - This game is WAY too streamlined. I get it, this is a console, not a PC...but it doesn't excuse the extreme amount of streamlining that PWE enacted on this game to put this game on consoles. The interface alone is stripped down and wonky. Unless you can constantly remember where something is in the heat of battle, you are screwed. Even then, the console controls tend to not be favorable for certain tasks (having to use a wheel to select an ability in the middle of battle is obnoxious).
   
   - The mini-map. Oh god, the mini-map. You cannot zoom that thing in, so you are constantly having to pop up the bigger map to find where objectives are.
   
   - GLITCHES! There are several noted gamebreaking glitches in the current version of the game. There is at least one that will not let you start the mission (Diplomacy) and requires you to skip it to proceed through the rest of the story arc (else it crashes the game back to the XMB every time you try to play the mission - many reports of this on the web)...and leaves you without the story arc trophy. Story mission glitches, mission procession glitches, graphical/model glitches...did I hop back to PC Season 2???
   
   - Missing features. With this one, I'm hoping these features do work their way in to the game with successive patches/updates. From my understanding, certain fleet features are missing.
   
   - Server related issues. Rubberbanding galore is back with a vengeance. Also, be prepared to see Server Not Responding with counting timer more often than you'd like. Come on PWE, with the money you are making with microtransactions, could you not afford better server farms?
   
   - Pay to win. This is the sad result of free-to-play games. And that lifetime subscription option? Don't bother. Compared to the PC version's lifetime sub, you get jack for that cost. Some sub exclusive items, titles and access to a location that is always dead. That's it. You get that and more, including a monthly 500 Zen stipend, with the PC lifetime sub. What gives? And those eff'ing master keys...
   
   - Lack of additional contact methods with the GMs. As usual, there are already several bots in the game chat spamming for sale sites for Energy Credits and Master Keys (and a lot of people complaining about being ripped off). While you can report them, the ignore function resets after log off or leaving the zone and coming back. On top of that, how are the players supposed to report bugs to the devs...through the forums? Why not a direct route from the game itself?
   
   As it stands, this game is a mess. If you are a Star Trek fan, avoid this game for the time being until PWE fixes at least the major issues (the Diplomacy game breaking bug being one of the biggest), or play the PC version which is much more mature as far as bug/glitch fixes go. While this game does have a lot of microtransactions, you can actually ignore most, if not all, of them and still enjoy the game. The big problem will be with starships (you stop receiving new ones around level 40, which stops you at Tier 5 and you will end up needing a Tier 6 ship with the higher levels of 50+). This game has most, if not all, of the story missions, but the issues might distract you from the fun.… Expand

It is a good port of a broken game. The PC game has gone through both positive and negative updates. The original design however results in a lackluster experience that does not pull the player into the Star Trek world. The space battles are unrealistic, the ground battles are terrible with the player constantly under attack (flanked) and needing to rely on under utilized AI for help.
   
   Star Trek fans will be in awe until the tutorial ends. Now with Perfect World Entertainment at the helm, it is pay to win with exorbitant fees for competitive ships.
   
   Unless you want to grind, or pay, avoid the disappointment.… Expand

As another person said, this is another free to play download bait that tries to generate in game sales later. Graphics are at least two generations old (think slightly better than Goldeneye on N64). Animations are clunky and repetitive. Battle is simple stand in place and shoot at enemies who also stand in place and shoot. Missions are boring. I shouldn't say missions plural because I was so bored and annoyed partway through the first mission I quit and deleted the game. Any developer or publisher who thought this was ready for release either doesn't play games or hasn't played any since the late 90s.… Expand
