Star Trek: Resurgence

MonsterVineTom Ravencroft

The downside is that sometimes, being basically a Star Trek episode shoved into a video game means it suffers from video game bullshit like stealth, cover shooting, puzzles, minigames, etc. There is a story mode option where you don’t have to deal with these, but still. And there are some technical hitches and bugs and whatnot. There was an early moment I remember where it was prompting me to pull the trigger on my controller only 1. I was playing on PC and 2. I didn’t have a damn controller plugged in so 3. Wtf, GAME, what do you want from me?!

Despite multiple graphical and audio issues, Star Trek Resurgence is worth checking out. The experience of the former Telltale employees shows in Dramatic Labs. Somehow, the engine is just as buggy, but the gripping storyline and characters shine bright. It’s also cool how dedicated the studio is to recreating the gadgets from this Star Trek era. If you’re a Trekkie or a casual fan, you should give this game a go.

Star Trek: Resurgence is a modest enterprise, but Dramatic Labs did a stellar job of capturing the qualities of the show, specifically its '90s era, with all the strengths and weaknesses thereof. As with the show, technically, you may notice some rough edges, but the creators have worked wonders with their resources. The visual novel stylings here suit the material, and it's got it where it counts, with excellent writing and performances across the board. Non-Trek fans won't get half as much out of it, and you may not be tempted to go back for a second playthrough. But if the current crop of T...

Some illogical gameplay decisions and presentation fumbles aside, Dramatic Labs crafts an exhilarating Trek story closer in spirit to Rodenberry than Kurtzman.Reviewer's Note: Although quite limited, I do touch on early SPOILERS to make specific points in this review.I'll admit: seeing [...]

If you're a Star Trek fan looking for a game that respects the series enough to get the details right, then as a Vulcan might say, Resurgence is the most logical choice. It has an intriguing narrative that takes the risk of having two protagonists and plenty of difficult choices for you to make. However, some of the overcomplicated mini-games and melodramatic cutscenes mar the last third of the game. While Resurgence isn’t a technical marvel by any means, you don't need a lot of bells and whistles to tell a decent story. And I'm willing to settle for that.

There was a scene in Star Trek: Resurgence where I sat at the edge of my seat. I had just made a choice with serious repercussions based mostly on a hunch.  The anticipation of whether or not I made the right choice forced my heart rate higher, pounding in my ears, despite knowing the outcome only moments later. I want to preserve the story as much as possible so I won’t tell you what the choice was.  I won’t tell you if it was the right choice.  What I will tell you is that it was one...

Can Telltale alumni transport us back to where no man has gone before, or is this another loveless riff on popular scifi’s heyday?

Resurgence is one of the best Star Trek stories out there, but it's brought down by clumsy gameplay and pointless padding.

4/10

While there are some nuggets of gold within Star Trek: Resurgence's narrative, the game prioritizes tedious puzzles and clunky mechanics that break the sense of immersion that is crucial for this genre. The IP and some interesting characters are not enough to distract from the poor visuals, controls, and bugs that plague the majority of the experience.
