To that end, there is a lot of story content that could be enjoyed for many, many hours, much of which is actually a pleasure to repeat once in a while.

35 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's great in that sense, and also the graphic and visuals are outstanding.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
10 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I love the diversity in ships and character customization options, even the free to play options.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
10 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The voice acting is great, the missions are lots of fun, and they genuinely give some interesting extensions to Star Trek stories.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Sure, like all games, some of it is repetitive, BUT, and that is a very serious BUT, the amount of tasks, ground and space battles that are optional anytime you want them, allows you to freely solo or group up and enjoy everything there is without the boredom monster eating into your soul.
