This game is fine, it's not particularly bad or good. That said, I do not recommend it unless you're a big Star Trek fan desperate for a TNG-era style story that is new.

Mind you new does not mean innovative or necessarily creative, this feels like the same kind of story that you would find in older Trek games like Hidden Evil. The plot seems to come from a generic sci-fi story with Trek elements added to it, so much so it relies on space anomalies to cripple the ship's abilities and universe technologies from being used.

The characters are okay, alternating between the outsider first officer and a Boimler-like lower deck engineer, which is great to present the classic A/B plots and keep everything intertwined but neither are particularly interesting.

The gameplay is really bad, made of many stupid minigames that don't feel good to play and mostly ruin the narrative flow of the story. The puzzles are simple and mostly just a break from the story and the minigames like flying a shuttle or firing a phaser are not nearly as exciting as you'd expect them to be.

Tl;dr: you're better off watching a playthrough on YouTube than wasting your money on this.
