🔒 EXCLUSIVE: Id/Silaence/recommended/ - Collection

I first played this game years ago, and despite being a huge Star Trek fan, it didn't work for me. It was too grindy and I felt that getting to the part where you fly a ship in space took way too long to get to.

Fast forward to a few weeks ago... I thought I would give it another shot, and I'm glad I did! The "new player experience" is considerably more streamlined. Getting started was a lot more fun, and you are basically flying your first ship within an hour of gameplay. I've been playing the game daily ever since. It ended up being the best Star Trek game I've ever played, and it is even relatively easy to do as F2P! Definitely a lot more grindy as full F2P, but it's doable. Personally I had no problem with tossing $20 to the game devs to keep this game going. Plus now that Jack Emmert has returned to Cryptic Studios as CEO, this game may even get some long overdue attention from the devs!

Really solid game all around.
