I got invested in the story just as much as I would in any of the Star Trek tv episodes. A must play for any Trekkie.
Playtime: 9 hours.
I'm not sure if the choices yield different outcomes apart from the fate of the characters. The plot seems pretty straightforward.
Minigames, QTE, especially the flying and scanning sections, that are frequent, were horribly boring. It's clear that the developers don't know how to do any kind of enjoyable gameplay, shooting for example plays worse than early 2000's titles.
However, the writing is decent. The characterization and tense moments made this game, or interactive movie, compelling enough for me to experience, as a non-Trekkie.

Great game for a Star Trek fan, a lover of the Telltale-esque narrative game format, or ideally both.
I was pleasantly surprised by this experience. While I wouldn't label myself as a die-hard Star Trek enthusiast, I do harbor nostalgic sentiments from my childhood, where I would watch the Next Generation faithfully with my dad each week. As the plot unfolded, I found myself recalling a specific episode that was cleverly referenced. Whether you're a fan of the Star Trek universe or have fond memories of it, I believe you'll find enjoyment in this title.
One of the highlights for me in the game was immersing myself in the narrative and feeling a sense of control over the characters through the dialogue choices. The performances of all the characters were fantastic, each convincingly playing their respective roles.
However, my sole gripe with the game lies in the scattered gameplay elements within the story that felt a bit cumbersome and outdated, such as certain stealth sequences. While these moments didn't linger too long to significantly detract from the overall experience, they might be a potential barrier for those less inclined towards gaming—like my non-gaming dad. Additionally, there were a few Quick Time Events (QTEs) that I engaged with, and I found these to be effective in maintaining my connection with the game.
In summary, I approached this game with skepticism, but it turned out to be the kind of experience I couldn't tear myself away from, providing a refreshing break from my time with Baldur's Gate 3.

Lieutenant Bedrosian is a psychopath.
With that out of the way, this isn't just a great Star Trek game, it's great Star Trek period. Yes, it's rough around the edges and was clearly made on a shoestring budget, but if you're a '90s Trekkie fan it really doesn't get better than this.

It has hints of being a good story and i tried to stick with it AS long as i could because every review said story was so good. But the very very boring controller inputs that are slow and very boring missions in between the story beats really made it so hard to keep going. The environment sound in this was soo horrible that i turned it off. the animation is clunky. maybe if i was. HUGE fan of star trek i could over look this but i just like star trek.
Tell tale games are some of my most fav games and when they have the formula perfect like with tales from borderlands or walking dead series, why can't they follow that?
boring and not going to play it again. i can't help but feel i wasted 5h on this waiting for the payoff. if you arent into it within the first 1hour just quit.
