The other character is a lower decker by the name of Petty Officer Carter Diaz. Platforms: Xbox (reviewed), PlayStation, PC ![]() Conversations and choices matter in Star Trek Resurgence, so depending on how players choose to handle this line of questioning they can brush off the comment, or firmly explain how it’s never been an issue either option will affect what the science officer thinks of Commander Rydek. This is something that is explored early on when Jara is questioned by the ship’s science officer about what would happen if she suddenly needed an infusion in an emergency. But Jara is also from a race of aliens who requires regular blood infusions for her very survival, making her different from her other crew members. Commander Jara Rydek is the new first officer on board the USS Resolute, coming onboard this ship which has been refit after barely surviving a disaster that saw its previous first officer killed in the line of duty (see the prequel comic series for that story) is hard enough. Players will be introduced to and spend their play time with two characters. Like any good Star Trek tale, Resurgence is more than meets the eye. Even the small touch of having the episode title card was reminiscent of old TNG episodes. The graphical style on display will instantly make any fan feel as though they have been transported to the 24th century, between the late season DS9 federation uniforms with the grey shoulders, to the sweeping musical score the attention to detail on display here instantly made me feel as though this game was being developed by fans. Star Trek Resurgence opens with the sweeping shots of starships, inducing all the wonder and awe that I felt when watching Wrath of Kahn all those years ago.
