Due to the ever-lasting popularity of the Star Trek TV series and movies, numerous Trek video games have popped up throughout the years. The latest offering, Star Trek: Bridge Crew, looks to be the best yet and arguably comes the closest to realising your fantasy of being a Starfleet crew member.

Designed specifically for VR and complete with hand tracking, full body avatars, real-time lip sync and stunning visuals, the game is best experienced in multiplayer mode. Each player has to take up one of four roles on the starship, with at least two players required for most tasks. The helm is responsible for piloting the starship. The tactical officer keeps an eye on potential dangers and is in control of the weapons. The engineer distributes power supplies to different systems onboard, while the captain has to command and coordinate the ship’s crew.

Star Trek: Bridge Crew is experienced best when playing with a bunch of friends, although single player is also possible. The game is available on Oculus Rift, PlayStation VR and HTC Vive, and with its cross-platform support and online matchmaking function, you can quickly form your virtual Starfleet team.
