Star Trek: Resurgence Reviews
Star Trek: Resurgence has an interesting story with thought-provoking scenarios and two good protagonists. While it makes adequate use of the interactive-story genre, there was room to improve the choices and gameplay.
It is a game that remains true to the essence of Star Trek. Fans will enjoy it, even though it doesn't offer a revolutionary story. It's satisfying that it's no longer just an adventure focused on clicking dialogue options, but the gameplay is broader and more diverse. You will develop an attachment to the characters, and their fates will be in your hands. The same applies to your enemies, so it's up to you how you embody the principles of the Federation. It has a certain degree of replayability, although technical issues bring it down.

Any Star Trek fan is going to enjoy this, and it might even turn narrative adventure fans into Trekkies!
Star Trek: Resurgence is an ambitious trek into a beloved sci-fi universe. Despite some rough edges, its narrative drive, character development, and detailed universe design make it a treat for die-hard Trekkies and casual gamers. The game has enough depth to keep you hooked, even if you’re unfamiliar with the intricate Star Trek jargon. With a balance of compelling storytelling and thoughtful references to the original series, the game is a worthwhile voyage into the final frontier.
Some illogical gameplay decisions and presentation fumbles aside, Dramatic Labs crafts an exhilarating Trek story closer in spirit to Rodenberry than Kurtzman.
Here's hoping Star Trek: Resurgence leads to more Star Trek video games. With such a rich history, the world of Star Trek has so much that could be explored. For a series based on exploration, Resurgence does not allow the player to explore much beyond the designated path of the story. With a story as good as this one, that hardly matters, but future Star Trek games may want to consider a different approach. If storytelling and characters like the ones in Resurgence were incorporated into an open-world Star Trek game, for example, it would likely have a much wider appeal. Still, the future for Star Trek gaming looks promising. Star Trek: Resurgence gets Star Trek, embracing the optimism and hope that sets the franchise apart, and celebrating humanity at its best.
While the action sequences feel shallow, the game tells a Star Trek story that will resonate with any fan of the older series.
STAR TREKKING ACROSS THE UNIVERSE! FINALLY A STAR TREK GAME THAT DOESN’T MAKE ME CURSE!
Developers Dramatic Labs and Bruner House are clearly fans of the source material and very clearly did their research to provide a highly-satisfying and enjoyable Star Trek adventure for both fans and casual fans alike.
Star Trek Resurgence's story is rather solid, but the rest of the game is riddled with bugs and QTEs that take you out of the moment.
Star Trek: Resurgence has an enjoyable story in a beloved universe but is bogged down by outdated mechanics and visuals in a genre that others have shown can be vastly improved.
Star Trek: Resurgence absolutely shines when it shines. In many ways, it is the Star Trek game I always wanted; an outstanding Star Trek story, walking the halls of a starship with its crew, enjoying new races, and exploring the outskirts of space. But because of everything that doesn’t fall into those categories, it feels this voyage was ten years too late.
