It's pretty good! Between it and 1995's Star Trek: The Next Generation - A Final Unity, I'd say adventure games are the perfect fit for Trek-style stories. The Telltale formula is a little on rails sometimes, and a lot of the actual gameplay is silly little tricorder puzzles, but it's basically an engine to provide you with classic, "You need to make a snap decision, who's plan are you going with?" moments like these.
I enjoyed my time with resurgence. I can't see non-trekkies enjoying it because TBH, the controls, combat, and mini-games are all frustratingly awful. However, the story, characters, and choices were all great!
I was slightly disappointed overall though. I was hoping it would be unequivocally great and demonstrate a market for more Trek games, but it's clearly lacking in some areas and didn't have much impact upon release.
Same. I know being an Epic Games Store exclusive gives you a lot of runway during your development period, but that probably didn't help them when it came to going viral post-launch. Still, if you're up for having two digital libraries, it's an easy pickup with all those holiday coupons they toss around.
Right, I forgot it was epic exclusive on PC. That definitely will not have helped. I played it on console and it definitely suits a relaxed TV playing experience, like playing an episode.
The scene's surprisingly dark, and I had to futz with some of the contrast to make it read as, "That one part of Cause and Effect where Fraiser's ship is headed towards the Enterprise."
I want a Star Trek souls-like. That would be dope. You get to dodge and stuff, but you have to just use diplomacy to make everything stop trying to kill you.

I assume that L1+L2+R1+R2 is also always an option - to eject the warp core.

I'm pretty sure you need your first officer to hold Up + A on the second controller too.

Good thing that there is suddenly no air and thus no screams that could haunt your dreams.

I'm getting a *batteries not included vibe from that screenshot: https://i.postimg.cc/Kz99fsrS/2ujfhemgczi4shutexnihgd39oj2.jpg

Ah, that explains the slight graininess. You did a good job, the ship is clearly visible. And I'm now just realizing it's the Boseman, hah

It's extremely slow and doesn't look like it hurts.
