Which Star Trek Game would you now play or recommend?

So as mentioned in another post I completed Armada 1 & 2. Since I'm kind of embracing old Star Trek games, which one would you now recommend?

1990 classic games, go for Elite Force 1+2, Klingon Academy, Bridge Commander, Birth of the Federation. Avoid Klingon Honour Guard and Dominion Wars as they were both buggy even back then and I doubt a modern computer would work with them.

Starfleet Academy is great too, and the Klingon and Borg video clicking games are on youtube. I liked KHG and Legacy a lot as well

25th anniversary PnC

Another vote for Elite Force 1 and 2. They're Half-Life but Star Trek, if that sounds appealing you'll love them.

The point and click games Judgement Rites and 25th Anniversary are supposed to be decent and are on Steam, I own them but haven't played them yet. Final Unity is meant to be good but you'll struggle to run it now.

Unfortunately, Trek doesn't have a great track record with videogames. Many 90's efforts were absolutely dire even back then.

Going for Bridge Commander and maybe download BOTF as well

A Final Unity. I used to love flying around the galaxy in that. You couldn't do much in that mode, but rocking up at a starbase was pretty fun. I think the story is better than most of the TNG films combined.

If anyone's struggling to get old DOS games like A Final Unity to work, an emulator like DOSBox Staging will likely get them running with a little bit of set up.

For old Windows games like Klingon Honor Guard, PCGamingWiki is a good place to look for fixes.

I'm not sure I'd recommend it exactly, but Crossroads of Time is definitely a game that exists:

And The Fallen is the best and only DS9 third-person shooter I can think of.
