How this score was computed
The VGC Score is a weighted blend on a press-comparable 0-100 quality scale. Steam approval rates are first calibrated (95% positive on Steam ≈ 89.5 quality, since Steam approval skews high). Press and tracked creator reviews each count ~2x a player review and share one cap against player evidence (creator buy/skip calls pool into an approval rate, calibrated like Steam approval); all-time sentiment is capped and halved (it's context, not verdict); reviews of the current build carry the most weight when a fresh patch anchors the window; and a 'typical game' prior keeps small samples from pegging the scale. Because press reviews and Metacritic user aggregates describe the launch build, their weight decays as the game ages (3-year half-life after a 1-year grace). That's how a game that launched rough can outgrow its old reception once updates win players over. Reviews under 2h playtime (the refund window), non-Steam activations, and free copies are downweighted.

“With Star Trek: Bridge Crew, Ubisoft creates an immersive, attractive co-op experience for the TV series fan. The main problem is that, beyond Trekkies, it won't be a suitable game for anyone unaware of the Starfleet's adventures. The absence of matchmaking filters (country, language, etc) can make communication a chore among the crew. ”

“Star Trek: Bridge Crew is the killer application that virtual reality needed. Funny, engaging, unique in its kind, Ubisoft's game is also enjoyable by those who are not fans of Star Trek.”

“It's still somewhat thrilling to inhabit the captain's chair on the bridge of a starship--at the bare minimum, Star Trek: Bridge Crew accomplishes that mission. When the game is at its best, the spirit of cooperation between various asymmetrical elements is encouraging--even special. In every other regard, however, Bridge Crew is forgettable the second you pull out of VR.”

“Playing Star Trek: Bridge Crew is every Trek fan’s dream, giving you the opportunity to sit on the bridge of a Federation starship. It’s a great co-op game for VR, but takes a few direct hits when played with AI and when you think about the balance between roles and the mission structure. Even so, with the Trek license lending this game an awful lot of atmosphere and the paucity of must-have VR games right now, this is still a near essential buy.”

“This may be a VR dream come true for Trekkies, but it’s one you wake up to discover is severely lacking in variety, depth, and value for money.”

“Star Trek: Bridge Crew feels like a promising first draft of a fantastic Trek simulator, but it only goes boldly for a few hours. After the novelty of finally sitting on a beautiful Federation starship bridge wears off and you’ve exhausted the handful of mission types, all that’s left is the goofy physical comedy of messing around with your friends or strangers in VR.”

“Star trek Bridge Crew is a must have for all serious Trekkie out there with an immaculate respect to the IP. On the other hand, most players will find the game repetitive and quickly boring due to the limited gameplay.”

“It's almost as if you're really aboard the U.S.S. Aegis or Enterprise and that's the biggest compliment we can give this title.”

“If you can find some like-minded friends to join your adventures fresh out of Starfleet, Star Trek: Bridge Crew makes for a great social experience. Those that opt for a more single player experience might find themselves missing out on the magic.”

“Star Trek offers one of the most exciting VR experiences to date. Flying your own ship feels exciting and fun, especially when playing with friends. Playing in co-op is the way to play, and mostly hides the fact that the content can get repetitive.”

“Star Trek: Bridge Crew is a brilliant VR experience, and pushes the technology to emphasize social interaction and cooperation in a way only a handful of other titles have been able to realize. Beyond that, it's fine slice of Star Trek fan service, as well.”
