Star Trek: Resurgence is a narrative-driven game that fully captures the essence of what Star Trek is. Yes, in the universe of space exploration, there are battles to be fought, wars to win, and enemies to face, but at the core of it all is discovery and the interpersonal relationships between different species. War and battle are backdrops, settings for the actions of humans and alien races to take place. They push people to their limits and show what can truly be done in times of desperation and need. Some of the best episodes of Star Trek have very little to no battles or phaser action at all. The instincts of a person, their true feelings, and actions will come forward and show not only everyone else but also themselves, who they truly are. These revelations come from the decisions that were made in those times. But those decisions often reflect or are influenced by the regular, everyday decisions that get made. Building relationships, getting to know fellow officers, falling in love, or angering someone, upsetting them, creating a rift between people. These smaller effects stack up to later choices, influencing the decision in ways no one can predict.
