    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!

    It's not often Trekkies get any video games. Much less a great one. This is most definitely one of if not the best Star Trek games I've played in a long long time. It has a very interesting story, better than some of the new Star Trek series if you ask me. The VO work is very good.

The VO work is very good. Who ever it is that they got to take on the task of portraying Spock did an amazing job. He sounds nearly identical to Leonard Nimoy. The gameplay is basically like any Telltale game. It's mostly there to move the plot along. Every once in a while you'll come across a puzzle that they don't really give you a very good indication of what it is you're supposed to be doing. But it doesn't take away from the enjoyment of the game imho. I thoroughly enjoyed the time I spent in the game. As long you are a fan of Star Trek games and Telltale's games I can honestly say that I think you're gonna have a great time with this one .… Expand

    This is an awesome Star Trek Episode in a not so awesome technical package.

    While the animation is clunky, and I have had some bugs that have made me go back and replay a scene, I am still enjoying this far more than any other Star Trek game in ages. The story is classic TNG plot, the dialog, story and characters are authentic to Trek.

    If you like Star Trek, this game is well worth your time.

    I just finished the game and I think it's very good. I too am not sure how different the narrative would be if I had chosen other options, but the game still does a good job making you think your choices mattered. Looking at the narrative that I built, I don't know how it could have ended any other way than how it did.

Looking at the narrative that I built, I don't know how it could have ended any other way than how it did.

    I came across a bug in the game where Carter is supposed to touch a screen to diagnose what happened to a shuttlecraft. I'm pressing everywhere on the screen and nothing happens. When I tapped the screen, it accidently selected 2 buttons at the same time. I suspect it was only supposed to tap one, which is what blocked me. I had to restart the chapter and try again, but I only lost 5 minutes of my time to be honest when this happened.

    Other than that 1 bug I experienced, the game was pretty well polished. The story and characters were great. I think any Trek fan of the 90's era will really enjoy this game. I'd give it an 8/10. I don't know how reviewers went less than that to be honest. Even the stealth sequences were logical and straight-forward - I don't know what some of the reviewers were talking about. Shooting could have been less clunky, but I don't have much to nitpick in all honesty.

    The graphics were pretty good too. Some of the areas are downright gorgeous. Some of them really made me feel like I was on the set of the shows. The character animations and such were well done.

    The music and sound effects were fantastic. Totally fit like the shows, and suited everything perfectly. Voice acting was pretty good, especially by the main characters. Not just Spock and Riker, who had big roles in this game, but also the main bridge officers and the two alien leaders you get to know quite well.

    The narrative swapping back and forth from the lower decks to the bridge characters and having them ping-pong back and forth was really well done too. The story also had a nice number of twists and turns, and a good element of mystery to it while being logically constructed.

    At the end of the day, there are not exactly a lot of options for 90's star trek games. And despite how rare it is to see a game pop up in this era, it is of a very high quality and is created by a team of writers and developers that cared. Given that it's of high quality and how rare it is to find something like this, it's a pretty easy recommendation. I hope it sells well.    … Expand

    Story is nice, like TNG episodes. But graphics engine is very old. XSX/PS5 versions should have better engine.

    One of the best games of 2023 so far, Star Trek: Resurgence deserves to be spoken about as discussions surround the best Star Trek storyline of all time. Yes it is that good.

    It is a game that remains true to the essence of Star Trek. Fans will enjoy it, even though it doesn't offer a revolutionary story. It's satisfying that it's no longer just an adventure focused on clicking dialogue options, but the gameplay is broader and more diverse. You will develop an attachment to the characters, and their fates will be in your hands. The same applies to your enemies, so it's up to you how you embody the principles of the Federation. It has a certain degree of replayability, although technical issues bring it down.

    I’ll admit, I was a bit skeptical about playing Star Trek: Resurgence given that I’m not much of a Trekkie at all. None of that mattered though, as even though I didn’t know much of the previous context or background lore outside of main concepts and characters, I still quite enjoyed my narrative focused mission with Commander Jara Rydek and Engineer Carter Diaz. While it hasn’t converted me into a full Trekkie, it certainly had me going down a Star Trek wiki rabbit hole, wanting to learn more about certain races, characters and factions. Live long, and prosper.
