Star Trek Bridge Crew – 76
Best 2017 Ubisoft Games According to Metacritic
Ubisoft has a record of experimenting with different gaming platforms, and the developer continued its foray into VR in 2017 with Star Trek Bridge Crew. Although the game’s 76 Metacritic average doesn’t immediately catch the eye as a must-play title, the game has enjoyed a fair amount of praise for its general design and stunning attention to detail.
A VR experience is supposed to transport you to another world, and Star Trek Bridge Crew absolutely captures the immersion of commanding the Starship Aegis. It’s every Trekkies wet dream, but it’s also a heck of a lot of fun even if you’re not up to speed with the franchise. Static VR experiences seem to work best in general, and Bridge Crew doesn’t have to worry about movement or having to combat motion sickness. Do not, however, let that fool you into thinking this title is void of action and intensity. There’s all the thrill of making split-second tactical decisions from aboard your Starship as you battle Klingons across the galaxy.
