Star Trek: Resurgence Review
Ойындар
Star Trek: Resurgence reviewed by Will Borger on PC, also available on PlayStation and Xbox.
Resurgence does an admirable job of capturing the spirit of Star Trek in a Telltale style game. The choices are almost never easy, but the lack of a morality system or any indication of what you’re “supposed” to do creates a sense of freedom to act how you imagine these characters would.

We need many more of these Double A games to fill out catalogues. It may not have crisp graphics and the mechanics may feel a little janky, but in a climate where things are either game of the year triple A’s or 2D experimental indie darlings, these are the games that take chances and offer truly unique and engrossing experiences. The type found all over the generations from 15-20 years ago. It’s always the weird janky ones that are remembered fondly on down the road for what they tried to pull of; whether it was executed perfectly or not.

Even better than the 90s and early 2000s Star Trek games on GOG? Some of those are just fantastic. Especially the point and click adventures. And Bridge Commander games.
The game is not triple A, it didn't have a budget equal to a blockbuster movie, doesn't have big name voice actors. Isn't a technical marvel that only works on a rtx 4090, wasn't developed in 8 months and isn't a first person shooter you try to get up to 144fps with. It's a story game, made with a modest budget, trying to be like the star trek shows and movies back in the TNG years. It's about the personal interactions, science, discovery and conflict. Put aside the technical desires, and ask if you're curious about this game if you want a cinematic sci-fi game about choice and personal interaction. If yes, get it.

Finally a ST game that feels like ST. The only thing about this is that its not properly polished. However, you have to give the studio some credits on doying a game based on 90s Trek, that actually uses canon and is designed for the fans. Lets support it and see if more is to come!
This is the best ST game we can get as of now. If you love TNG - this is a must. Great story, great characters (cameos!). Also, there's a point where you have to actually pause the game and WATCH s01e05 of TNG to get the most of the lore. Awesome!
You’re telling me Piotr Michael is juggling the 2 LEGENDARY roles of SPOCK and MASTER YODA simultaneously?!?! This guy has skill!!!

An absolute belter of a story, great characters and choices that have consequences that are often unforeseeable but always make sense. 10/10 from me.
Animation and controls could be smoother. And the Tricorder definitely needs to be fixed in any sequel. But overall it’s a great story and the voice actors are superb.

Not to me, they look kinda low budget but not bad.
Always interested in Star Trek and what games are coming out. The graphics could do with a tweak whilst they still look promising and one can see the effort put into in this game overall
Can't wait to play this. Might be the best since Bridge Commander, 25th Anniversary, and Judgement Rites. (if you can handle early 90s point and clickers, those last two are my favorite Trek games of all time)
Almost done with the game. Finally a great Star Trek game. We need more of this. Lovin' it.
This game has encountered the great IGN 7 barrier.

Right? From the review it sounds like it could be an 8, but the expectations from players that come with that kind of score are probably too high for what this developer is aiming for.

You might want to wait for a patch: only 1080p (most probably won‘t ever be patched), capped at 30 fps, stutters (!?), severe bugs with dialogue lines, (possibly game breaking. Happened 3x in the first 2 hours) where a line is repeated and the next one is skipped to keep the pacing up.

It does reminds me of Mass Effect and it's choice based system, hell, even the combat is cover based like Mass Effect... In a way just like Mass Effect was inspired by Star Trek, Mass Effect inspired this game.
LOL 30 fps in 2023 is an ABSOLUTE SHAME.
After all these years someone did a star trek game right! Its a little clunky but has all the great components which mades star trek great in the 90s.
Having played all sorts of star trek games over the years, it seems this might be the sorta game that actually works...
To the reviewer: Please don't yell through the course of your review.

Some hiccups with repeated audio and clunky mechanics out the gate, which hopefully can be fixed with a software patch. Other than that, not bad.
The character models look plastic and not amazing. Are we watching the same video?
Looking forward to trying this out once it eventually releases on Steam.
clearly, based on the content of the review, it deserves an 8 rating. Wonder if Reshade could noticeably improve the graphics
So he praises the game 99% of the review, then gets to the verdict and the music builds to a crescendo, and boom ! 7!!! I know that isn't a bad score, but he may want to explain why a 7 , since he said very few negative things. Do the tricorder sections bring it down that much???

Lock at 30fps, and 1080 on PC. I'm a big Star Trek fan, but no thank you. Give me 60fps and 4k and I'm all in. No wonder this released on Epic where there is no user review system in place.
PLEASE get a different person to do the voice over for these reviews.
But why is Omni Man in charge of a starship?
I'll wait a few months for those patches and updates to arrive.
the "gamified" mechanics can be a bit groan inducing but the story and characters kept m eplaying and enjoying this game.
The Star Trek IP is perfect for the Telltale style.
Shame it doesn't let you create your own character

Absolutely loving the game, on second playthrough, it's nice to be able to play a different type of Star Trek game as to always playing Star Trek online Only had a few dialogue issues where it would repeat or cut short and frame rate issues nothing that affects gameplay We need more Star Trek games or more content for resurgence
Can't wait to play this

The game is fun, but sadly it's one of those games where the choices are an illusion. Certain people will die and certain events will play out and you cannot change that, which is a shame. There are far better designed games, like the Dark Pictures Anthology and Until Dawn, etc, there the choices make a real difference. So, Star Trek is great to play through... ONCE, but sadly it has ZERO replay value.
No Steam = No buy.
So choices actually matter this time?
Basically this game is like those of us who remember "choose your own adventure" books. Tons of console games out there which are better than just shooting things but these story games get boring after awhile. I'd buy this but no way at full price
This is a small thing; but the music could be a bit better. It sounds like older MIDI and at times the sound mixing distract from the dialogue. It would’ve been cool if they could’ve used some notes from other parts of the franchise, though maybe that’s licensing issues.
was about to skip this until someone told me it was the same people from Telltale
