Star Trek Online:

Ok so I know that this wasn't on my list of future reviews but I haven't finished Deus Ex, barely started Frontlines, and I have no excuse for Homefront, but I promise I will get to them. It's just that I recently stumbled upon this game and I need to write something. Also sorry for not writing much (anything) recently, been busy.
Alright so here we go, Star Trek Online (STO) is an MMO set in the Star Trek universe, and for those of you who are star trek fans you will get a lot more from this than someone who hasn't seen anything in the Star Trek universe. It is set about 50 - 60 years after the end of Next Generation (don't quote me on that), there are a bunch of names that you will recognize during the campaign, Jean Luc Picard, Catherine Janeway, Hikaru Sulu, etc. Many of the series happenings are mentioned for reference in multiple missions which is cool. But none of that is really what makes this game great, it's just gravy.
This game really shines when it comes to the space battles, of which there are many. The movement is very fluid and proper feeling, the weapons sound and look correct, and the ships...THE SHIPS. There are probably around 50 different Federation ships of varying classes and configurations available, including the ships from all of the shows and movies of course. The customizing is quite amazing, because each ships have different configurations and styles you can pick which part of your ship is made with which config, you choose the saucer, neck, hull, pylons, etc. Then you pick which weapons are attached and which bridge officers you want running systems. How you get new ships is through the ingame leveling up, every time you achieve a new rank you get a token for a new ship which you then name and customize and set off in. Alternately you can use one of two different currency in game, one that you can get through daily events, the other you can get through actual money. Btw those daily events are most commonly set as large ship engagements with you and other players who wander in the area versus an enemy fleet. Those large ship engagements are really something to be apart of.
The species you can choose from are plenty, I personally have a Trill character which I thought was pretty cool simply because they are my favorite species and as far as I know there aren't many commanding ships. I am probably being fairly bias here with this 'review' but I don't care because I really enjoy the Star Trek universe and I am quite satisfied with this game, I started playing it about a week and a half ago and I play it literally every day.
So should you get it? Yes, because it's free, it's an amazing way to enjoy the fandom, and it is a fantastic mmo. Don't think I mentioned this but there is really no grinding needed to be done in this game at all, you level up by doing missions and really you will be ahead of the ranks required for everything, and if you are falling behind somehow you can always run into a Klingon fleet and destroy them with some friends. It really is a great game so you should get it if you are a Star Trek fan or are curious about Star Trek, and if you just like mmos because it is one of the best out there. 9.5/10
