Star Trek: Bridge Crew Reviews
The magic of Star Trek isn't the ship, but in the crew, and Star Trek: Bridge Crew nails that mechanic perfectly. What might otherwise appear as a cold and stationary experience becomes amazing when played with friends. While the campaign isn't as long as we were hoping, the ongoing voyages provide enough randomization to keep us busy. As I push the wobbly AI out of the airlock, allow me to heartily recommend Star Trek: Bridge Crew — it's downright “fascinating”.
We are facing a good experience of virtual reality, but only advisable if you are a big fan of star Trek. The game will only require you to play buttons for hours. Of course, aboard a ship of the universe Star Trek.

Even if you're not a Star Trek fan this is still a game worth considering, especially if you're after a social virtual reality experience. Just try not to become a redshirt.
Delivering on the dream of a Star Trek VR experience, Star Trek: Bridge Crew is a fantastic new game for anyone with a VR setup. You might want more, but what is available will put a smile on your face and keep it there for hours.
Best enjoyed with friends, Bridge Crew is not just one of the most enjoyable and polished Star Trek titles to date, but also a real feather in the cap for PSVR.
Star Trek Bridge Crew puts you in the seat of a Federation starship where you can be captain or crew. The game shines when playing with other human beings, but fails greatly when playing with AI. An excellent experience for the trekker inside you, if you find a suitable crew to play with.

Bridge Crew is pure fan service. Being a member os USS Aegis Crew feels amazing in VR, but missions are too limited, and technical aspects are too simple. Enjoyable if you find three more friends to share this voyages to deep space.

While Star Trek: Bridge Crew might lose players along the way because of its particular gameplay and lore, the game has the merit of being original compared to other VR experiences on the market. The immersion is decent thanks to the use of the PlayStation Move and PlayStation VR, but it still requires you to play in co-operative multiplayer to fully live the experience instead of relying on AI bots.
Ubisoft's sci-fi VR adventure is a highly detailed – and very enjoyable – simulation of life on the command deck of a Federation starship
A thrilling, authentic recreation of Star Trek that brings out the team player in everyone. Just a shame it's such a pain to set-up.
it's far easier tackle the bridge of the original U.S.S. Enterprise on your own.
Playing Star Trek: Bridge Crew is every Trek fan's dream, giving you the opportunity to sit on the bridge of a Federation starship. It's a great co-op game for VR, but takes a few direct hits when played with AI and when you think about the balance between roles and the mission structure. Even so, with the Trek license lending this game an awful lot of atmosphere and the paucity of must-have VR games right now, this is still a near essential buy.
Pretending you're a Starfleet officer in Star Trek: Bridge Crew is great, as long as you have a crew to back you up.
Featuring deceptively deep cooperative gameplay, Bridge Crew is the best virtual reality multiplayer game currently on the market – and it will give Trekkies multiple hours of joy. However, a lack of variety in missions, and the general asshattery of some players in public matchmaking, mean it's a dish best enjoyed with a team of friends, not randoms.
Being on the bridge of a Starfleet ship in VR is a very satisfying experience, as long as you are a Star Trek fan of course. But after this very good first impressions, Star Trek Bridge Crew lacks a bit of surprise and variety in its missions.

Star Trek: Bridge Crew feels like a promising first draft of a fantastic Trek simulator, but it only goes boldly for a few hours. After the novelty of finally sitting on a beautiful Federation starship bridge wears off and you've exhausted the handful of mission types, all that's left is the goofy physical comedy of messing around with your friends or strangers in VR. That's nothing to scoff at, but with such a basic combat system and so much time spent twiddling virtual thumbs in two of the four chairs, Bridge Crew's needs a refit before it'll be ready for anything close to a five-year mission.
However, what Bridge Crew does succeed in creating is the sense of teamwork and camaraderie that all Star Trek shares. It feels like the next evolution of a Dungeons & Dragons campaign, or a virtual reality LARP.
It would probably be slightly overzealous to call Star Trek: Bridge Crew PSVR’s killer app, but it’s nevertheless a magnificent, if flawed, experience that expertly melds resource management mechanics with top-notch social multiplayer.
This may be a VR dream come true for Trekkies, but it's one you wake up to discover is severely lacking in variety, depth, and value for money.
