I couldn’t stop my Star Trek Online habit. There are better MMOs out there, but no other game offers as many Treks. And while Discovery and my recent obsession with the modern mirror universe haven’t really worked out for me, the frequent nods to the classic storylines and characters keep me coming back.

According to Cryptic Studios and Perfect World Entertainment, “Emperor His Crusher is one of the greatest threats the galaxy has ever faced.

favorite Star Wars: The Old Republic (opens in new tab)I’m really just waiting for a sequel that will probably never show up, but I’m glad we’re still getting meaningful story updates leading up to Lifecycle.
