A game for a true Trek fan. Good story and good graphics with excellent philosophical dilemmas. I really was invested in the characters as if I was watching a good Trek movie. Review for PC. The bad, frame rate can be a bit off at times and no options for high resolutions, but in the end this didn't bother me much. I really only noticed it when I first started.

-3 for Server downtime fiasco during release. Even if their division isn't big on multiplayer, this is unforgivable. They should have known better. I can forgive DRM and online only, but not if it doesn't work. This is worse than an alpha game in this state. -2 for Map Size which is ridiculously small. You can almost 'finish' a 'city' in one play session +1 for over fun while you're still developing your 'town' -1 for blurry graphics and poor terrain textures unless you zoom in enough. +1 for the fun disasters -1 for lack of any terrain adjustment options. A little, limited ones would have gone a long way.

This is the most realistic action/survival game I have ever played. I'm amazed by it. Sure there are some slightly unrealistic details such as using a ice axe on stone walls, or rope arrows but it is easy to overlook. The voice acting, movements, emotion are all top notch. It isn't that far off from top notch movie quality. There are only very minor bugs I have encountered with the release. It is stable, fun, and totally engrossing.
