While Christine Chapel (Jess Bush) has tagged along in trade for a ride to Dr. We open with the USS Cayuga’s crew on planet Parnassus Beta, helping to support the colony with logistical and medical needs. The following contains major spoilers from the Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season finale!

That foundation was a good base upon which to build an insightful fleshing out of the Gorn - beyond just ‘monsters’ - undercut only by a classic Trek cliffhanger that leaves half the story in the air. From here you must win the match in one of several ways capture the enemy base (which rarely happens), hold a series of control points (which also rarely happens), or destroy all the enemy ships (which nearly always happens, because blowing stuff up is 1000x more fun than sitting around waiting for a bar to fill).Combining well-paced action and medium-to-high stakes with emotional depth, “Hegemony” ended up being better than I expected. You jump in, select a ship, click 'Battle!' and within 90 seconds your chunk of floating grey metal bobs happily in a square of royal-blue ocean, waves lapping gently at its hull. Like the other 'World of' games, the time between launching the game and embarking upon your first battle is a matter of minutes.

What World of Warships certainly has going for it is immediacy. Yet it also requires considerably more patience than pretty much every other multiplayer shooter out there, both on the smaller scale of individual deathmatches, and on the larger scale of its expansive but rather grind-happy free-to-play model. World of Warships' slower, more methodical approach to multiplayer shooting makes for an interesting tactical challenge, and there are moments when it explodes into gloriously exciting games of aquatic cat and mouse. The answer to that question is 'it depends'.
