Star Trek: Voyager - Across the Unknown

loved this game but its now turning into a money grab with the dlc after buying the deluxe edition i thought any extra dlc would be included but they want almost full game price just for the dlc now and this isnt even a triple A game so ye im done with it.

This game is terribly boring. The interaction is like a combination of Sim Tower and the terrible mobile game Start Trek Timelines. There is almost no variable to the game, click the next thing because it told you to. Click the next planet because the game said you needed whatever resource. I didn't bother getting very far in this game because of how unenjoyable it was, but I was half expecting it to have me start building a castle to earn resources behind paywalls like most of the trash mobile games. The only redeeming aspect of this game was some of the visuals were well done.

No respect given to Ergonomics or player experience there's no way to disable the tutorial and this game demands reruns.

The overall game feels true to the show. I like that you can exceed the performance of the show or fall short and be destroyed. One thing I don't like is that if your battery runs out it doesn't ask you where to cut power; it does it in ways that are very harmful like shutting down an entire deck and cargo bays on that deck will loose all their goods.

Game doesn;t render correctly , developer said ♥♥♥♥ off , so fine. 0 stars. screw you too

TL;DR 7.5 out of 10 Good game, enjoyable gameplay with 1 frustrating element and an authentic Star Trek experience, but ultimately too expensive for what it offers. I would recommend picking up the Captain's Collection once it drops below $40, as that is where I feel it provides the best value for money. Gameplay Overall, the game is fun and engaging. At its core, you are constantly balancing resources such as Food, Deuterium, Crew Morale, and other supplies. These resources effectively act as a timer, preventing you from staying in a chapter or mission indefinitely and forcing you to make decisions about when to move on. Fortunately, the resource pressure is quite forgiving on the lower difficulty settings. You generally have plenty of time to explore the story, complete side objectives, and enjoy the game's systems without feeling constantly rushed. Progression revolves around travelling from planet to planet and completing missions that are often closely tied to events and storylines from the television series. As a fan of Star Trek: Voyager, I found many of these references enjoyable, and the game does a good job of capturing the atmosphere and spirit of the show. While managing resources and making strategic decisions is genuinely entertaining, the game becomes significantly more punishing on higher difficulty levels. For players looking for a challenge, this can certainly add tension, but it can also become frustrating at times. My biggest criticism concerns the luck-based crew missions. These missions require you to send three crew members away to solve various problems, with their success determined by percentage-based rolls. For example, even with a reported 99% success chance, there is still a possibility of failure. That means a key crew member such as Tom Paris can die purely because of an unlucky roll, despite the player making all the right decisions beforehand. Since there is often little or nothing you can do to influence the outcome once the mission starts, these moments can feel unfair rather than challenging. My recommendation would be to start on the easiest difficulty setting and experience the game primarily for its story. The narrative is genuinely enjoyable, particularly if you are a fan of the series. If you finish the campaign and want a more demanding experience, then consider starting a second playthrough on a higher difficulty. Performance Performance was generally very solid. I had no issues running the game at maximum settings on my system. That said, performance is arguably less important here than in fast-paced action games. Since the game is much closer to a turn-based or strategy experience, maintaining extremely high frame rates is not particularly necessary. Even at 30 FPS, the game remains perfectly playable. Because of that, I would recommend prioritising visual quality over frame rate if your hardware requires a compromise. The improvement in image quality is much more noticeable than the difference between 60 FPS and higher frame rates in this type of game. The Good Faithful Star Trek story with multiple endings and alternate outcomes. Strong connection to the events and atmosphere of the TV series. Fun resource management and strategic gameplay. Good overall performance and optimisation. Excellent audio design and soundtrack. Plenty of replay value through different choices and outcomes. The Bad Crew missions rely too heavily on luck and percentage-based outcomes. A single unlucky roll can have major consequences and potentially ruin chapter progress. Higher difficulties can feel punishing rather than rewarding. The price is difficult to justify. While the game itself is enjoyable, I believe $69 for the game and season pass is simply too expensive. This is especially true because players who only purchase the base version miss out on a noticeable amount of content and missions that are included elsewhere. At a lower price point, this would be an easy recommendation. As it stands, the game is fun and worth playing, but I would suggest waiting for a sale before buying. Final Verdict: 7.5/10 A fun and authentic Star Trek experience with a surprisingly engaging story, held back by frustrating RNG mechanics and a price tag that feels too high for the amount of content offered.

What an incredible tribute to the best Trek. The sheer amount of references, side missions and quotes pulled directly from the series shows this game was made by true fans. Most importantly, it's proof that sticking closely to the source material isn't always a bad idea like many people seem to argue when video games are adapted into films - what matters is the director's vision, and the vision for this game was within acceptable parameters. Naturally, it's not without flaws: researching new tech in the skill tree takes far too many cycles & you can't research more than one skill at a time. RNG can be rather hellish too. The DLC should be included in the base game or be a free add on - the asking price is already quite expensive. Despite all that, I am eternally grateful the Gamexcite was able to secure the vocal talents of Robert Duncan McNeill and Tim Russ for Paris and Tuvok in game - it made the whole thing so much more authentic, and it was such a huge win in addition to the Voyager theme in the menu.

Das ursprüngliche Setting der Serie, konsequent zu Ende gedacht und als Spiel umgesetzt, mit großem Respekt vor dem Franchise und natürlich der VOY-Serie. Mittlerweile lassen sich die Schwierigkeitsgrade nach Wunsch anpassen, aber in der Grund-Einstellung verzeiht das Spiel und hält dich gerade in den ersten Sektoren ( = Reiseabschitten) konstant unter Druck. Achte auf Ressourcen-Management, halte dein Schiff (wie der Basisbau im klass. XCOM) effizient, wähle weise und mit Voaussicht deine Forschungsschwerpunkte. Das geniale aber sind die vielen Entscheidungsmöglichkeiten, wo man entweder analog zum Verlauf in der Serie spielt, oder aber vollkommen abweichende Entscheidungen trifft - mit den zugehörigen Konsequenzen. Anders als in der Serie, wo schlicht und einfach das Budget die Anzahl der Schauspieler limitierte, gibt es hier zahlreiche neue Potentielle Reisebegleiter an Bord der Voyager, mit eigenen Stärken und Schwächen. Einige von diesen haben sogar Relevanz in späteren Entscheidungen. Viele der bekanntesten Geschichten sind umgesetzt. Im Moment (? DLCs kommen ja scheinbar noch) fehlt mir ironischer Weise das "Jahr der Hölle". Ironisch, weil das Spiel davon klar inspieriert zu sein scheint. Mit schwindender Hüllenstabilität und knapp am Ressourcen-Limit kämpfend beständige feindliche Angriffe überstehen - auch das Erlebnisse hatte ich nach der ein oder anderen Entscheidung in meinem ersten Durchlauf. Meiner Meinung nach das Perfekte Spiel zur ursprünglichen VOY-Idee mit hohem Wiederspielwert. Nur wenige Schwächen: - Meistens passiert alles über Textboxen - Nur einige Ingame-Sqeuenzen sind vertont. Das hat mich persönlich nicht gestört, kann aber für viele abschreckend wirken - Ein paar Mechaniken erklärt das Spiel recht spät. Hier lohnt es sich, die ersten 3 bis 4 Sektoren erst einmal zum Kennenlernen auf niedriger Schwierigkeit zu spielen, und dann den ersten kompletten Lauf anzugehen. - Die "Autosave"-Funktion ist manchmal frustrierend selten. Glücklicherweise kann man seit einen Patch das Schnellspeichern verwenden. Das ist auch so umgesetzt, dass es immer noch herausfordernd bleibt: Nutzt man Schnellspeichern, kann man nach einem Neueinstieg ins Spiel nur diesen Schnellspeicher-Punkt laden oder den Sektor komplett neu starten. Natürlichgibt es auch einen Ironman-Mode, aber für mich war dieser "Schnellspeichern"-Patch ehrlich gesagt das, was mir die Lust am Spiel erhalten hat. Für jeden Star Trek Fan der "Goldenen Ära der 90er" ist dieses Spiel meiner Meinung nach ein Pflicht-Titel. Ich würde gerne mal sehen, wie diese Programmiere ein DS9-Spiel angehen würden.
