I’ve played a lot of Star Trek games over the years, and most of them tend to follow a pretty predictable formula: you fly around, shoot some phasers, scan a few anomalies, and call it a day. But Daedalic Entertainment and Gamexcite just dropped something entirely different on Xbox Series X|S.

Star Trek: Voyager – Across the Unknown (Deluxe Edition) throws out the standard power fantasy and replaces it with a stressful, brilliant, and deeply addictive story-driven survival strategy loop. If you’ve ever wanted to know what Frostpunk or FTL would feel like set in the Trek universe, this is your answer.
