No. Our viewpoint characters are Jara Rydeck, the aforementioned first officer on the Resolute, and then we also get to enjoy the swashbuckling lower decks (but not that Lower Decks but he would totally fit in on that Lower Decks!) stylings of engineer Carter Diaz as the Resolute sets off on what is…actually, a pretty solid Star Trek story with the captain and crew trying to get their groove back as told by a crew of Telltale veterans in pretty classic Telltale Games style. Look, I don’t know much, but I know a classic Star Trek setup when I see one.įor the Trek heads, Resurgence takes place a few years after the end of Star Trek: Nemesis (don’t worry if you didn’t see it or like it, nobody did! In either case!), meaning we are just at the end of the Next Generation run. Those of you who are familiar with my whole thing may be surprised to find out I am a little bit of a cynic, so I admit I grinned during the introduction sequence when the game slowly spins out the premise: We are the newly assigned first officer (yes!) on the Resolute, a science vessel that isn’t all that impressive (of course!) but just finished a refit and rebuild after suffering a terrible accident (HA!) that left the crew almost as scarred as the ship ( sickos YES YES dot jpg)… MonsterVine was supplied with Epic Game Store code for review Platform: PC (reviewed), Playstation 5, Playstation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One Star Trek: Resurgence is probably the first Star Trek game that actually feels like…well, Star Trek, with the dialogue and the thinking and the choices rather than the PYEW PYEW SPACE LASERS…sorry, SPACE PHASERS. ![]() Elite Force is a whole lot of fun, mind you, but Janeway didn’t spend a lot of time rocket jumping.

In other Star Trek news, Paramount has announced that it will reunite the cast of The Next Generation for Star Trek: Picard Season 3.The problem with trying to make a Star Trek video game is that “video games” as a medium usually can’t handle the idea that there is more to life than “shooting things in the face,” so a property like Star Trek is tough to adapt since frequently the entire conflict of an episode or movie is solved by a sudden quip or insight rather than “shooting things in the face”. This game comes from a studio made up of former Telltale developers. This is a third-person adventure game that tells an original story set after the events of Star Trek: The Next Generation. ![]() Star Trek Prodigy: Supernova joins the recently announced Star Trek: Resurgence.
