Star Trek: Voyager - Across the Unknown

It's a choose your own adventure! Love it!

I purchased this hoping for some "elseworlds" version of Voyager where multiple endings were thoroughly written and designed to allow dozens of possible outcomes. Sadly, they went full "Mass Effect 3" as in you can have a lot of slight differences of personnel or equipment but the ending is either they normal ending of Voyager or the Borg take over and you suck. Also, on a design aspect, there are several spelling errors throughout (not translations errors, spelling errors). For a minimally voiced game that requires A LOT of reading, they really should have reviewed the script several more times. TL:DR - Glad I waited for a sale but I wish I could refund it.

Leider ein wennig steif im Spiel und langweilig im Kampfmodus alles sehr linear wennig freiheit, Blancing ist auch noich toll , schiffbau auch nicht interessant

Ich liebe die Serie und ich habe es gemocht das Spiel durch den Abenteuermodus durchzuspielen. Jetzt spiele ich ein Lvl höher :D

I wanted to like this so much! Yesterday I started a playthrough and if you play like a competent captain the game was over in 30 minutes. I giggled when that happened. BUT... Every 10 minutes there's a new bug! UI bugs, gameplay bug, render bugs. Most of these are game breaking. Do I have to buy the deluxe "no bugs" edition? What's going on? The game is literally unplayable.

Die Handlung findet zum Großteil in unvertonten Textdialogen statt, ab und zu gibt es aber nette Zwischensequenzen. Daneben gilt es, das Schiff auszubauen und auf der Weltraumkarte den Ressourcenmangel, der stets deutlich spürbar ist, zu managen. Unter diesem Druck müssen dann Entscheidungen getroffen werden, die den Spielverlauf deutlich beeinflussen. Serienkenner kommen hier voll auf ihre Kosten und werden ganze Episoden nachspielen - besser noch, man kann sogar Wege gehen, die in der klassischen Story nicht probiert wurden. Dazu lesen die deutschen Originalstimmen von Tuvok und Paris ihre Logbucheinträge vor. Bereits auf der mittleren Schwierigkeitsstufe bietet das Spiel eine nette Herausforderung, die gerade Anfang eine Survivalstimmung aufkommen lässt. Und irgendwie will man dann doch noch immer erkunden, was einen im nächsten System erwartet….

I want to be excited for this but its very bugy and limited force choices and bogs down cpu alot for such basic graphics. crashed my pc twice.

I see a lot of people say that your choices don't matter. This is untrue. While you are an a pretty straight track headed straight for the end of the game, the way that you get past obstacles and who makes it home are 100% up to you and the choices you make. GAME SPOILERS BELOW (if you've seen the show, it doesn't matter) - - - - - - - - EXAMPLE: In the show, (in short) there's an episode where Neelix gets gets his lungs stolen while on a away mission. The crew then encounters a friendly alien that helps them transplant another character's lung into Neelix to allow him to live. However, in the game, when I got to that mission, I did too good of a job beating it. The crew got in and out of that away mission without Neelix losing his lungs. The kicker is that later in the show, (again, in short) B'Elanna gets split into two people, her klingon side and her human side. B'Elanna needs her Klingon side to live, so the doctor ends up putting her back together by the end of the episode. HOWEVER in the game, when I got to the end of the mission that had B'Elanna split in two, I didn't have the alien tech that I would have received from the whole Neelix-lung situation. Thus, the doctor's chances of reintegrating B'Elanna were so low, that she ended up dying. Now Joe Carry is the chief engineer again. Choices matter.

Refunded because there's no game to be had here....

One of the better Star Trek games. This one is most like a "choose you own path" video novel game with a builder strategy component.
