    Great storyline and likeable characters, which embody the essence of Star Trek. It really is like an interactive episode. The decisions feel weighty and the fast time element does add excitement to the moment.

    That said - and I appreciate the size of the team that made it - but to release a video game in 2023 and charge £35, with this standard of technical quality is inexcusable.

    That said - and I appreciate the size of the team that made it - but to release a video game in 2023 and charge £35, with this standard of technical quality is inexcusable. While the character models are reasonable, the amount of tearing, laggy framerates and 2010 animation is poor. Add to that a soundtrack from 1995 and missing dialogue, which is often key to the decisions you have to make.

    This game should have been delayed another year. Overall, if you're a Trekkie, I'd say you'll enjoy the story and overlook the technical failings. Otherwise, avoid until it's half price or free.    … Expand

    Resurgence has a great story that starts out with a classic Trek diplomacy plot and ends up serving as a sequel to one of the first TNG episodes. The characters are interesting, though some are a bit unlikable.

    Unfortunately, the technical issues and gameplay brought the entire experience down. The controls felt stiff, and some of the quicktime event notifications didn't stand out.

    Unfortunately, the technical issues and gameplay brought the entire experience down. The controls felt stiff, and some of the quicktime event notifications didn't stand out. I encountered bugs throughout--everything from characters talking over each other or audio glitching out to visual issues like the playable character being replaced by a floating tricorder. I loved the style of the game, but it needed more polishing on the technical side. Hope to see more Trek games like this.    … Expand

    The game would be pretty good, if not the HUGE amount of bugs that are taking away all the fun and turning it into frustration. After I finally completed the puzzle with interfering waves, game crushed and I had to start all over again, which made me uninstall. STOP publishing games that don’t work please!

    Star Trek: Resurgence is a love letter to the franchise. This narrative adventure game feels like a movie or a series of the long-running franchise with new characters, new issues and the same heart. The story carries it, and it’s as good as some of Star Trek’s best. If it wasn’t for the occasional bug, this would have been a perfect game.

    While there are some nuggets of gold within Star Trek: Resurgence's narrative, the game prioritizes tedious puzzles and clunky mechanics that break the sense of immersion that is crucial for this genre. The IP and some interesting characters are not enough to distract from the poor visuals, controls, and bugs that plague the majority of the experience.

    Despite multiple graphical and audio issues, Star Trek Resurgence is worth checking out. The experience of the former Telltale employees shows in Dramatic Labs. Somehow, the engine is just as buggy, but the gripping storyline and characters shine bright. It’s also cool how dedicated the studio is to recreating the gadgets from this Star Trek era. If you’re a Trekkie or a casual fan, you should give this game a go.
