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my sole gripe with the game lies in the scattered gameplay elements within the story that felt a bit cumbersome and outdated, such as certain stealth sequences.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.
