I was pretty excited to learn yesterday that there is a new Star Trek adventure game in the works to be released next year. Now the term "adventure game" can sometimes be used very liberally, so I was a bit sceptical if it really was the type of game I was expecting, but the company making this game are primarily made up of former Telltale employees. They describe it as a story-driven choice-based adventure game. Sounds awesome.
In my opinion, the best Star Trek games have always been adventure games. Obviously, I'm biased because I have a deep-seated love for the genre from growing up with Sierra and Lucasarts, but the ideas of peaceful exploration, solving problems through peaceful means, they all blend very nicely with the Star Trek ethos. I have such beautiful memories of playing Star Trek point and click adventure games in the 90s.
Anyway, I have pretty high hopes for this. Not sure if it'll run on our family laptop, but if not, it may be the extra push I need to finally try to upgrade from our PS3 to a second-hand PS4.
It's a happy day!
