  • Authentic Star Trek experience with original cast voice acting, capturing the feel of the classic TV series.
  • Challenging and well-crafted puzzles and storylines that provide a satisfying episodic adventure.
  • Improved features over its predecessor including adjustable ship combat difficulty and inclusion of more main characters.
  • Outdated pixel art graphics and interface can make spotting interactive objects difficult and sometimes frustrating.
  • Lack of in-game tutorial and auto-save system requires frequent manual saving and external references to the manual or maps.
  • Occasional illogical puzzles and some minor bugs or sequence breaks which can halt progress without guidance.

    The story in Star Trek: Judgement Rites continues directly from its prequel, delivering an engaging episodic narrative reminiscent of the TV series, enriched by original cast voice acting and complex, satisfying puzzles. It features a tighter, more intricate plot with non-linear missions and compelling dialogue, though some missions vary in quality and occasional bugs can impact progression. Overall, it offers a challenging, well-crafted Star Trek experience that rewards thorough exploration and strategic thinking.

    • “Each mission plays out like an episode from the TV series, so you will visit various planets and encounter a wide variety of situations.”
    • “Storytelling maintains the high bar set by its prequel, with its first mission throwing you into a high-stakes struggle against a familiar villain to avert a genocide.”
    • “There is lots of well-written dialogue, it's fully voiced by the original cast, the mission plots are interesting, and the puzzles are mostly satisfying to solve.”
    • “Also, the quality of the missions/puzzles is a bit uneven.”
    • “(Edit: on the final mission 'Though This Be Madness,' it is possible to soft lock your game file if you give fruit to the young boy in the playroom without speaking to him beforehand. This sequence break will make it impossible to obtain a mission-critical item from him. Beware!)”
    • “The devs have not seen fit to include the manual which has the map you'll need for the missions and the controls which I find disappointing as it should have been available with the game, but you can find it available for download elsewhere if you search for it.”

    The graphics of the game are clearly dated and sometimes pixelated, particularly in object detail and cutscenes, reflecting its original 1993 release. However, some improvements over its predecessor include tighter visuals and better cutscenes, and many players appreciate the classic style, focusing more on story and gameplay than modern graphics. While not cutting-edge, the visuals still effectively support the game's strong narrative focus.

    • “I had the other Star Trek point-and-click when it first came out (now called Star Trek 25th Anniversary). This is similar with some improved graphics, particularly the cutscenes, and the option to cut out ship-to-ship combat, which some people didn't like but I found fun.”
    • “I would give Judgement Rites a slight edge over its previous game, Star Trek: 25th Anniversary, just because it has a little better graphics and a little tighter storytelling.”
    • “Graphics 9/10 (some scenes could have been done better, the quality of the cutscenes and videos differs).”
    • “Only drawback is that sometimes you aren't sure what objects in the environment to click on because the graphics are so pixelated.”
    • “This is a classic game, graphics are poor and gameplay is good.”
    • “Sure it's an old game and sometimes the artwork could do with being a bit less pixelated (like when trying to find some objects), but it has a strong story focus and it's good fun playing through "episodes" which are voiced by the original cast.”

  • gameplay

    The gameplay has a nostalgic, classic 90s feel with a "if it isn't broken, don't fix it" approach, offering solid mechanics despite being punishing and sometimes unintuitive. While combat can be challenging, adjustable difficulty and combat avoidance options enhance enjoyment, especially compared to earlier series entries with problematic mechanics.

    • “Takes a 'if it isn't broken, don't fix it' approach, with identical gameplay as the 25th anniversary, and the original series cast doing voice work adds to the immersion.”
    • “The graphics are outdated, but the gameplay is still solid.”
    • “At times the mechanics of the game can be punishing and not intuitive.”
    • “Definitely skip the first game in this series st: 25th anniversary due to the awful combat mechanic which makes it unplayable, but so far I'm enjoying this game due to the ability to set combat difficulty or avoid it entirely.”
    • “Gameplay is very 90s and doesn't hold your hand, but if you have nostalgia for this type of game, you'll find no better example of it than this.”
