We'll look at plenty of digital adventures shortly, but first up its worth noting that infinite Star Trek tales await if you go the tabletop RPG route rather than pulling up a PC or console game. Ready to see the best of the best? Engage! Many of the best are far in the past, sadly, but if you don't mind dated graphics there's a treasure trove of top-notch games to relive.
Starting with text based games back in the late '70s all the way up to VR titles in more recent years, there's no shortage of Star Trek video, board, card, and roleplaying games to sift through. Much like geeky fantasy counterpart Dungeons and Dragons, the Star Trek franchise has seen an absolutely absurd number of game releases of wildly varying quality.
Want to jump into some classic games to fuel that nostalgia trip and get in the proper mood for the Picard premiere on January 23? Hopefully he still takes his tea Earl Gray and hot. Renowned for his ability to overcome obstacles and solve problems through logic, reason, and compassion, the titular star ship captain still has plenty of adventures ahead. This beloved anti-Kirk character was exactly what the franchise needed for its reboot as The Next Generation, and exactly what we need now going into an uncertain future. CBS is going all in with original Star Trek series to get us hooked on yet another streaming service as the long-awaited Picard spin off premieres this month on January 23 via CBS All Access.
