Two more "new" Star Trek games are on the way: Star Trek: Armada (opens in new tab), an RTS that offers the Federation, Klingons, Romulans, and Borg as playable factions, and the sequel Armada 2 (opens in new tab), are "coming soon" and can be wishlisted now. And that way you can avoid the crappy puzzles and disinterested fights. If you want an old adventure game featuring Picard, A Final Unity is far superior and blessed with graphics that hold up much better today. But it's notable because someone actually decided that Insurrection, the worst Star Trek movie, deserved a direct sequel, even if just in videogame form. Quake-meets-Star-Trek was an incredibly seductive prospect back in 2000, and still a pretty great hook today.Īnd he has some thoughts on Hidden Evil, which was somewhat less impressive in its day: This is just a great, classic shooter, from a time when the competition was steep. Set during and just after the end of Voyager, Starfleet's Hazard Team swaps diplomacy for phasers and proves to be very good at vaporising the Borg and other spacefaring baddies. The first Elite Force showed that Star Trek couldn't just work as an FPS, it could excel. He's also a big fan of the Elite Force games, which don't always get their due as the excellent shooters that they are.

For Trekkers with a more well-developed taste for explosions, Starfleet Command 3 is a very well-regarded ship combat simulator that gives players control over Federation, Klingon, and Romulan forces across a series of story-driven campaigns, and we actually declared Bridge Commander-essentially a Kobayashi Maru test, minus the vicious side-eye from Starfleet Academy students who think they're smarter than you-to be " the greatest Star Trek game ever." The Elite Force games are really good shooters-better than you might expect from a show that, at least post-TOS, tends to focus more on the chatty side of deep space exploration.

Another good thing about this Star Trek Day is that GOG has added six classic Star Trek games (opens in new tab) to its lineup, all of them running on Windows 10 and most (all but Star Trek: Hidden Evil, according to the listings) supporting local multiplayer action.
