Suffers from a race-specific affliction requiring special transfusions.Part of an alien race that narrowly avoided extinction and suffered atrocities from The Cardassians.For clarity's sake, let's break down several of her compelling qualities into bullet points: For all the loathsome pablum and accusations thrown against fans who dare to label a slate of recent female leads as Mary Sues, it's nice when writers avoid the discussion through competent craftsmanship. The most critical contribution to this is Rydek herself (voice acted by the talented Krizia Bajos). Through both character dynamics and meaningful context, enough time is given to subsume yourself within this world. Even though the wider narrative evolves to something more campy, it's only after solidifying a great foundation beforehand.
A classic political scenario to navigate. Further complicating matters, Alydian control over Hotari-based mines has been the de facto situation and one primary source for fueling the Federation. Since neither race, Hotari or Alydian, is officially in the Federation, there's a palpable tension to negotiations. These separate storylines eventually intersect and overlap to showcase dual perspectives for the central conflict as well. Said repairs are critical for the crew's latest mission: a fractious dispute between two neighboring alien races. Complementing the A plot is Petty Officer Carter Diaz, a winsome engineer who's fixing last-minute issues with Resolute following a tragic accident. After a terse "Captain’s Log…" voiceover, the game proper opens with First Officer Jara Rydek, a Human/Kobliad hybrid preparing to join the USS Resolute. You can tangibly feel that shift through each cold open too: the older template music with the episode's title splashed on the screen. That may seem like a hair-splitting delineation, but it subtly informs Resurgence's emphasis on the series' original template and warps it well beyond many of its recent contemporaries. But after seeing no Bad Robot nor Abrams/Kurtzman producer labels in the opening credits, Dramatic Labs thankfully opted for the televisual format instead. Given the creative black hole that is J.J Abrams' 2009 revival – where only lens flare could escape its gravity – that shouldn't be a surprise either. I'll admit: seeing marketing terms like "cinematic" next to Star Trek tends to worry me.
Reviewer's Note: Although quite limited, I do touch on early SPOILERS to make specific points in this review. By Lee Mehr, posted on 06 July 2023 / 2,609 Views
