So when it was announced that Star Trek Online was being ported over, I like many others were sceptical of just how this was going to be pulled off and whether it would be fun to play. Well, fitting a whole range of keyboard commands onto an Xbox One controller is no easy task, even my small brain can work that out. It’s a nice touch, with all the actors reprising their roles, even if a few seem a little phoned in.ĭeveloper Cryptic Studios promise with this particular port was that in their eyes, it needed to feel like it belonged, both gameplay wise and graphically on the latest machines. Tuvok, Harry Kim, and Worf just to name a few. Developer Cryptic Studios have gone one step further to make the whole experience as authentic as possible with well known characters appearing throughout the missions. To kick off your adventure you’ll hear Spock (voiced by the late and great Leonard Nimoy), basically explaining what’s been going on in this particular Trek universe and how it correlates to you. Along the way you’ll also interact with a number of famous characters from the TV show. That means in terms of the story you have all 11 seasons to play through, ranging from visiting DS9 to battling the borg with Voyager. Now because Star Trek Online has been out for six years on the PC, all the content previously released over the years is readily available from the get go. Fortunately it seemed to be an isolated incident and the rest of the missions I completed played without much issue. The mission took a good few hours to accomplish and as you can imagine, it was frustrating beyond belief. What I had to do in the end is try to out run the Klingons to the asteroid and shoot at it little by little before they would inevitably catch up and blow me up. At first I thought it was some form of ability the Klingons had, but it turns out that it’s a problem several people have had. So, there we were about to do battle when none of my ship weapons would fire on their ships. Without spoiling too much, I had to blow up an asteroid, but between me and the asteroid were a group of Klingon ships who were not very happy – which is fine, we had had a previous altercation that didn’t turn out too well for them. No, not because the mission was incredibly challenging, but because I encountered game breaking bugs on one particular mission that halted my progress. I’m going to quickly get this out of the way right now, I actually got stuck. When there is voice acting in place, a lot of is pretty terrible as well. It’s not incredibly inspired or original unfortunately and the lack of voice acting really slows things down. Many of the missions involve the player talking to a guy reading walls of text, travelling to a destination and either scanning or shooting at something.
