![]() ![]() I’m used to them not always matching what was said, because another take sounded better than what was written. Let’s start with the subtitles, which were off by default. I can get over nitpicks like the ion storm being the wrong colour, the replicator using the transporter sound effect, and some of the plants having no transparency layer so they had black borders… Stuff like that can be fixed in a patch, and I can just get over the green storm. However, you may be one of those people who checks out the score first and wonder, “if I loved the story, why that score”? Unfortunately, it’s a lot of little things that snowballed into really harming how good Star Trek: Resurgence is. What follows is a true Star Trek plot, and genuine kudos to the writers of this game because it features peace talks, phaser fights, beings with abilities as unto a god, ship battles, scanning, transporters… I don’t want to give too much away, and in fact just deleted a sentence of Star Trek stuff that was potentially spoilery for this game. Also, there’s a particularly nasty ion storm making travel a bit difficult. The ship needs to pick up an ambassador and get over there, as one of the worlds supplies a healthy amount of the dilithium that the Federation uses. The Resolute’s current mission is to broker peace talks between two worlds. You’re given the general gist of it, but I recommend checking it out, it’s a good introduction to the crew, and believe me there are worse Star Trek comics out there. ![]() As the game begins, the Resolute is finishing up a major refit following the events of the prequel comic tie-in published by IDW Comics. You also play as Petty Officer Carter Diaz, a member of the engineering team who has been on the ship for a while. Set in the year 2381 - a few years after the USS Voyager returned home - you play as Commander Jara Rydek, the new first officer on the USS Resolute (NCC-92317), a Centaur-class science vessel. There’s a shorthand way to describe the type of game, but I’m here to talk about what developer Dramatic Labs created. You know, the story will be tootling along in front of you when suddenly there’s a quick time event and you need to phaser a rock, then choosing whether you insult someone’s mum or compliment their haircut. Star Trek: Resurgence is a narrative adventure game, or as I like to call them, a visual novel with extra steps. Star Trek has a rich history of great stories over its almost-60 year history, so it’s curious how it’s taken so long for videogames based on the franchise to be set in the adventure genre. Haven't seen any of the current gen shows.// Reviews // 22nd May 2023 - 3 months ago // By Andrew Duncan Star Trek: Resurgence Review Features the TOS cast, but it's a terrible show and everyone was more caught up with being able to have "actual aliens" thanks to the animation that they forgot to write an actual script. Just wasn't enough and that ending sucked.Ħ:TAS - No one seems to know about The Animated Series and that's for the better. S3 and the Xindi arc started getting interesting. Battlestar Galactica felt more like what VOY should have been than VOY.ĥ: ENT - Season 1 & 2 were basically a waste. The syndicated nature of the show absolutely kneecapped it's concept. Highest highs, but some pretty low lows too.Ĥ: VOY -If the whole show was just the "Year of Hell" double feature taken out to seven seasons this would bump to the top of the list. Dated and some episodes, while progressive for the time, are absolutely cringe inducing now.ģ: TNG - Another classic. Feels the most "modern" in story telling format.Ģ: TOS - Never got a chance to get bad, 3 seasons of excellence. It looks pretty damn good though.ġ: DS9 - Solid Trek that really lets the universe and characters breath and be challenged. Not ranked is Strange New Worlds because I have not started watching it yet. ST: Discovery - Too much crying, too many emotionally wrecked characters. I actually liked this a lot but it ended too soon.Ĩ. The final couple of seasons really bring it back though.ħ. ST: Picard - I really dig this show even if Picard is well past his prime.Ħ. I'm not a big fan of toons but I love this show.ĥ. ST: The Lower Decks - This show is awesome. ST: Voyager - I grew more attached to the characters on this ship than any other.Ģ. I'm currently in the middle of season 7 right now. I've rewatched this series multiple times. I know so many people that really disliked Voyager but its my fav. ![]() It's funny how we all have such different opinions on all of the Star Trek series. I always found DS9 to be one of the worst Star Trek series made. I too am watching the entire DS9 series again years later. ![]()
