Star Trek Online – Xbox Series X|S Review

Star Trek has had quite the resurrection over the last few years. From Discovery to Picard and even animated shows in between, the new Star Trek Universe that is being built is slowly becoming something quite special. 

As a kid I watched the adventures of Captain Jean Luc Picard on Star Trek The Next Generation. I was never the biggest fan of the show, something didn’t quite resonate with me. Perhaps it was the neat bow tied at the end of most episodes, or maybe it was the whole uniformity of the universe that didn’t sit well. Either way, Star Trek was never one of my favourites.

Later when Captain Janeway journeyed to the far reaches of space with Voyager, I started to get into things a bit more. The charismatic Ben Sisko and his giant space station never clicked with me either, I had no idea what it was about a sci fi series (my favourite genre) that I couldn’t adjust to. A little franchise called Star Wars may be to blame; Luke Skywalker and his adventures across the galaxy just sang to me. Now, I hear ya, stereotypical geek talk of Trek Vs Wars, but bear with me.

In 2009 a reboot/alternate reality version of the original Star Trek was unleashed to the world. And I loved it.

Finally I had figured out what was wrong and it allowed me to divide Star Trek into two separate eras – Film Grain Trek and Shiny Lens Flare Trek. This may come across as blasphemy to Trekkies but the shiny Star Trek finally made me fully appreciate the franchise. Silver and gleaming white hallways combined with sleek retro-future looking computer consoles slotted everything in place for me. This look was continued with Star Trek Discovery (another divisive show) and I absolutely loved it. This was a Star Trek I could buy into.

Now while I have gone back and rewatched the Kelvin Trilogy as I was preparing this review, I was also drawn back to another series that again divided fans – Enterprise. Taking things back before Captain Kirk was in diapers really worked for me, and while Captain Archer may have been part of my Film Grain era, I really enjoyed the episodes I watched. Anyway, that’s plenty of groundwork laid down, let’s get down to the main event.

Star Trek Online is a MMORPG that has just celebrated its 13th anniversary. Debuting on PC in 2010, the game made its way over to Xbox on 2016. I initially fired up the game way back when it launched for Xbox and thought it was decent, but short on campaigns. The loading was abysmal and systems were very complicated. Has any of this changed for the recent Xbox Series X|S update? Let’s see.

Right off the bat, there are way more starting points than before. We now get the option of six starting points for our new character, each with a different race or time period to select. Most importantly for me, they have added in the Discovery era. Hopping right in I found the story engaging (pun intended) and the missions short and punchy, not often common for a MMO game. I finished the discovery campaign in a few hours and was sad to see it go. That’s when I knew Star Trek Online had its hooks in me.

For those who have never played Star Trek Online, the game is very welcoming to newcomers. 90% of the content can be played solo, only really requiring groups at the latter stages of the endgame and for PVP. Playing very much like Mass Effect Lite, Star Trek leans heavier into RPG than it does MMO at the start. I would say this is an absolutely great starter MMORPG for those unfamiliar with the genre.

Gameplay, as I said, is very much like the Mass Effect series , conversing with characters from across the Star Trek Universe (many voiced by original actors) to shoot outs planet side. Combat doesn’t have as much of a chunky feel to it and can feel a tad too light and flimsy at points. Taking the battle to the stars, ship combat is an absolute highlight, balancing systems and learning ship positioning. All in, the package (for a free to play title) is well rounded and enjoyable.

So, we need to address the actual upgrade… and I say that lightly. Frame rate is improved across the board, and that means running around Starfleet has never been smoother. Sadly this optimisation is the only true next gen upgrade, and it doesn’t hold a stable 60fps. Graphics may have had a bit of a spit shine but scream more original Mass Effect 1 than the Legendary Edition Remaster . Menus are still laggy for whatever baffling reason, and a lot of patience is required in trying to even apply a new uniform to the crew.

Disappointing upgrade aside, Star Trek Online is still a very easily recommendable title, especially at the whopping cost of free, and no forced microtransactions, as those are mostly cosmetic. Sure, the odd ship may be more powerful than the ones earned or given in-game, there is nothing more significant than a point or two. The various storylines are going to be devoured by Star Trek fans as the cameo appearances and authentic voice acting really put the cherry on top.

An all round fun experience that sadly hasn’t been given the Series X|S boost it deserves, a Shiny Lens Flare look is what would really go down a treat in Star Trek Online. For me, the starships should glisten and the shine in every aspect should be forefront, and sadly the graphics did not receive a huge boost like this. The lack of features brought by the Xbox Series X|S upgrade does not detract from the fun available in Star Trek Online, but you’ll need to look past the 2007 graphical style.

I’ll finish with a direct quote from our review coverage back at Star Trek Online’s Xbox launch in 2016 , as it still remains true to this day.

“ At the end of the day Star Trek Online is a great game. Okay, the ground combat is definitely rough around the edges as well as occasionally annoying with its targeting system. And yes, I did encounter a few bugs that were extremely frustrating, and the visuals will never blow you away. However, it still doesn’t detract from the quality of the experience being offered here. Space combat can be great fun, as well as seeing and hearing about all of the iconic places, characters and sounds from years of Star Trek, and for free, there’s no reason to not jump in.

Take On the Mirror Borg in Star Trek Online: Both Worlds, Out On Xbox Today

“We are the Borg. Resistance is Futile.” These seven words, first uttered in 1989, forever cause chills to run down our spines as Star Trek fans. The Borg are an implacable, unstoppable foe, one who has menaced the characters of many Star Trek shows for decades. Now, Star Trek Online has unleashed a new version of those Borg, one far fiercer than ever before.

It’s well known to Star Trek fans that there is another universe, called the Mirror Universe, where everything seems backwards. Good people are unrepentant villains, and the world is dark and cruel. Everything in the Prime Star Trek Universe exists there, but we’ve never seen the Mirror Universe’s version of the Borg, until now. Blasting through a portal into our world, these Mirror Borg are more advanced and far more aggressive than the Borg we know. Resistance, they say, will be annihilated.

Now, teaming up with Captain Harry Kim and Captain Ezri Dax (both portrayed by their original actors, Garrett Wang and Nicole de Boer), your Captain must stop these Borg before they can take a foothold in our universe. If you fail, everything will die.

Star Trek Online has long been known as the place to go for continuation of classic Star Trek stories. From the Bluegills, to the Tzenkethi, to the Voth, Star Trek Online has taken threads that were cut for time from the original Trek shows and developed them into full blown stories. For the past year, players have been battling the Mirror versions of Captain Janeway and Admiral Leeta, but as that conflict resolved, the Mirror Borg came through to wreck our hopes of peace.

In the newest release, Star Trek Online: Both Worlds , players will take the fight to the Mirror Borg as they attempt to place a beach head in our universe. Battle them in a new story mission, including facing their mysterious leader, the Borg King. And for fans of the classic Borg, you can replay one of the most defining moments of Star Trek’s history, the Battle of Wolf 359, in a brand new Task Force Operation.

The developers of Star Trek Online are huge Star Trek fans, and they relish the opportunity to expand the canon. The Mirror Borg are a unique opportunity to tweak a foe that is very familiar for Star Trek Online fans. The original Borg were one of the very first enemies brought in to Star Trek Online nearly fifteen years ago, and as the player Captains’ powers have grown, this once terrifying threat has been reduced to much less of a challenge. The Mirror Borg bring the Borg back to their roots, once again causing nightmares to reverberate through the Star Trek Universe.

Should you choose to face these new Borg, do it with caution, and get ready to modulate your frequencies. We’ll see you out there in the Final Frontier. Star Trek Online: Both Worlds is available on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One today.

Tasha Yar in TNG and returned as Yar's part-Romulan daughter, Sela.

Star Trek Online: Both Worlds introduces the Borg King in an epic new multiverse storyline continuing the incredibly successful MMORPG.

What Happened To Denise Crosby's Tasha Yar In Star Trek: The Next Generation

Denise crosby has made several returns to star trek.

Denise Crosby was one of Star Trek: The Next Generation 's series regulars when the series launched in 1987 but she didn't make it through season 1 as the USS Enterprise-D's Security Chief, Lt. Tasha Yar . TNG season 1 was beset by a multitude of turmoil behind the scenes, and Crosby was unhappy with Tasha's role on the show. Crosby asked to leave Star Trek: The Next Generation and Yar was killed off in the episode, "Skin of Evil". To Crosby's surprise, she was invited back to portray another doomed version of Tasha from a parallel universe in the classic Star Trek: The Next Generation season 3 episode "Yesterday's Enterprise".

Denise Crosby recapped episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation season 1, as well as "Yesterday's Enterprise," on The 7th Rule podcast hosted by Star Trek: Deep Space Nine 's Cirroc Lofton and Ryan T. Husk.

Tasha Yar may have perished (twice) but Denise Crosby returned to Star Trek: The Next Generation as Sela, the half-Romulan daughter of the Yar from "Yesterday's Enterprise". TNG never definitively resolved what happened to Sela , and Yar did not reprise the role in Star Trek: Picard season 3, which reunited the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation . Star Trek Online: Unparalleled gives Denise Crosby a new opportunity to play an alternate universe version of Sela who had the Starfleet career that eluded Tasha Yar on Star Trek: The Next Generation.
