That’s not to say they’re all bad - far from it - but it’s frustratingly rare for one of them to offer that smart, narrative-driven experience. That episode focused on lower-ranking members of the Enterprise, all of whom were in orbit of the more well-known characters and would eventually be brought into the fold to help with an upcoming mission.Tragically, precious few gaming takes on Trek have hit remotely close to the mark, since. If anything, playing this short slice of Star Trek: Resurgence felt like playing an interactive version of the fan-favorite TNG episode Lower Decks, which served as the inspiration for the current animated series. Jara, in particular, will become instrumental in mediating the current conflict, and the tightrope you'll have to face is making the right choices along the way.
