Is any New Trek good? Or is it just all "Pew pew were a prestige TV gritty action show now." stuff? (hexbear.net)

I'm curious to creck some of the new stuff out but it all looks so not Star Trek

By New Trek I mean Discovery, Picard, Strange New World and Lower Decks

Wow that's a lot of series.

I like the optimism of Star Trek and apparently a lot of New Trek kind of abandons that? sadness

Star Trek: Resurgence is great. It's a Telltale style game set in the TNG era and gets it.

Oh fuck yeah, Star Trek would make a perfect point and click game

I truly cannot overstate how giddy I was in the first couple of hours. The premise is so good.

One of the two protagonists is the new first officer aboard the ship after it suffered a tragic accident. The captain is a decent man but it's left him insecure about his career and legacy. A young outsider taking the XO position instead of one of the original crew has created tensions among the other senior officers. Juicy command drama targeted at me with laser precision.

It gets a bit carried away with it's big "season" arc villain after the first act, but it remains pretty cool.

Star trek made 2 very cool point & click games. "25th anniversary" and "judgement rights"

I played 25th anniversary. I loved it. Haha, I'm old.
