![]() The camera switches to a first-person perspective when using the tricorder, but the limited zoom makes it difficult to identify items or chemical leaks. Unfortunately, this mostly involves walking in a certain direction until prompted to use the tricorder to scan random objects for information. For instance, the player often spends time wandering around the Resolute or new planets between narrative beats, investigating potential solutions to the current Starfleet problem. The game's tense galactic situations are frequently interrupted by the outdated and tedious gameplay, hindering any momentum the narrative builds. Unfortunately, Resurgence seems to place more emphasis on clunky gameplay mechanics than on developing its story. The key to a successful interactive narrative lies in the ability to craft a fully immersive world, relying on strong writing, compelling character performances, and tough moral choices. In principle, the setup should offer players the chance to experience two fascinating perspectives on the Federation, all while forming meaningful connections with a diverse group of characters. This interactive narrative adventure offers a unique opportunity to explore the Star Trek universe in a new and exciting way. ![]() Rydek is a new addition to the crew and must earn the respect of her more experienced colleagues, while Diaz is determined to make a name for himself in the vast expanse of space. In Star Trek: Resurgence, players take on the roles of two protagonists: First Officer Jara Rydek and Petty Officer Carter Diaz, an engineer aboard the USS Resolute. However, while Star Trek: Resurgence touches on these familiar themes, its gameplay and mechanics feel outdated and reminiscent of games from past generations. Known for exploring social themes and offering a positive outlook on hope and diversity, the series' science fiction setting has always been used to develop complex characters through their political and personal relationships. With Diaz you will keep the ship from falling apart, and you will get involved in a cute love triangle.The Star Trek franchise is instantly recognizable to almost anyone, thanks to its iconic status. With Rydek, you’ll determine the fate of the entire crew and get to facilitate some alien diplomacy. The story seamlessly hops between the two of them, often giving you choices with one character that later effects the other. You also play as Carter Diaz, an optimistic petty officer and engineer in the model of Samanthan Rutherford. You play as the new first officer, a stoic Kobliad with a strong sense of right and wrong. This is an upper decks/lower decks story. Everyone on board is still wearing their gray Dominion War uniforms. You play as two members of the crew of the USS Resolute, a ship that’s seen some action. The Romulan sun has not yet gone supernova, and thus Ambassador Spock is not yet in the JJ Abrams movies. Here’s where Resurgence fits into the story: it is the year 2380. Maybe you’re a Trekkie and you want to know the score. But Resurgence just has that Telltale magic. The Wolf Among Us has a sequel in the works too. That last one is especially relevant, seeing as it just got a poorly received sequel made by a different dev team. I’d rank Resurgence with the best of Telltale’s previous titles, games like Walking Dead, The Wolf Among Us, Batman, and Tales of the Borderlands. If you liked those previous titles, you’re in luck. There aren’t any gameplay innovations to speak of. In fact, it’s almost shocking how similar it feels to Telltale Batman and Game of Thrones. Star Trek: Resurgence doesn’t shake up that formula. Also there are quick time events (ah, the dreaded quick time event). ![]() Telltale-style games are simply walking from conversation to conversation, and choosing what your character says within a small window of time. ![]() They’re not very “systems” oriented- which is to say, there’s not a lot of strategy or messing with stats. In their heyday, Telltale games were themselves throwbacks to the point and click adventure games of the early 90s. Resurgence is in many ways, a “Telltale” game. That’s because while there is still a company called Telltale Games, a lot of the important people on the Telltale team 10 years ago formed this new studio. Dramatic Labs is a new studio, but it’s made up of game dev veterans. ![]()
