![]() Who builds a game in 2023 with no native widescreen support? FML it is painful trying to get this working on a 4k monitor. 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. 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. 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. ![]() A must play for TNG era trekkies, this game is phenomenal as a ST game if a little rough round the edges. 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. 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. The graphics and character models are perfectly serviceable to get you through an incredibly enjoyable and story rich "Telltale" style game. 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. That combined with very deep and well written characters it brings this game to life. 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. ![]() 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. I have to say I absolutely loved every minute of the story. Each have their own unique perspective and effect on the story. 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. 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. 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. Highly recommend! … ExpandĪs 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. Once patches are released and the small technical issues fixed, this will be a 10/10 game. The medium they tell the story in is very, very fitting for Star Trek. The choices you make will bring some characters closer to the playable characters while others may distance themselves. The main appeal is making tough choices and seeing how they play out. It isn't a particularly challenging game, though there is some combat, it has a story mode if those combat portions prove difficult. The feel and story fit that timeline very well. I recommend this to anyone who is a fan of Star Trek, especially of the TNG/DS9/VOY era. The story was gripping, the character interactions complicated, and overall, a very well-made game. While it has some graphical issues and bugs at launch (why it is 9/10), playing through the whole game was amazing. ![]()
