Star Trek Online

You can't uninstall the game. If you click uninstall, it removes the launcher, not the game. So now you have to spend more time finding out where the game is installed, and the install folder does not have an uninstall button either. The launcher itself has no option to uninstall the game either. Literally the game will just take up 25gb of your hard disk space and it won't give you an easy way to delete it.

Do Not Create your account for this game through Steam. I got screwed out of $20 dollars y doing so. Game has a ton of free ♥♥♥♥ and exclusives through the epic game store. Additionally the in game currency is flat out cheaper through the epic games store. You cannot link your steam account on this game to the epic store . If you get the game on steam you are getting strictly inferior version and will be getting screwed in the long run. Support team at cryptic will not help you steam support will not help you do not get this game on steam!!!

I have played this game for years, and even have a lifetime subscription for the monthly "currency" payments. However, they have been making updates that are obviously greedy money grabs, entirely abandoning the free to play portion and plans in favor of massively increased prices for what essentially amounts to gambling (loot boxes) and part time improvements. Part time b/c you get a "nice and powerful ship" only to discover a month later that everything got nerfed. This isn't uncommon, but STO has gotten more and more greedy lately, making it difficult to support continued gameplay.

If you really like Star Trek and need your fix, this might be your game. Otherwise, steer clear. Ground controls and ground combat feel like trying to steer a dead cow in a shopping cart, especially in any boss fight with a gimmick required to actually do damage, and space combat is only marginally better. This is all said after coming back years after leaving the game, too. It's exactly as janky as I remember it, and that is not a complement. Edit to add, when you uninstall through Steam the only thing that's removed is the launcher. You have to manually delete the game files. Thanks for the 20something gigs of disk back, I guess.

Game has not kept up with traditional Star Trek values. Ships are out of balance and do not follow the Trek standards set by Gene Roddenberry

Command your own starship, build a crew and boldly go wherever the next mission sends you. It’s definitely showing its age, but for a Star Trek fan there’s still a ridiculous amount to explore.

This game is a honey pot made to trap star trek fans. It's a very half baked game with a very predatory online store. Do not spend money on this game. they never add real content or fix bugs/balance because they can't. I'm embarrassed for the devs since they clearly have no shame

for a Trekkie, it's a must. It's free-to-play, you can play every single part of the game for free. And that's really nice.
