Ownership Star Trek Online was originally owned by Cryptic Studios and published by Atari Interactive, along with sister title Champions Online. On May 17, 2011, Atari indicated that it no longer wanted to pursue MMORPG gaming and that it planned to sell Cryptic Studios. Later in the same month, Perfect World Entertainment purchased Cryptic Studios for $50.3 million and continued its operations. In December 2021, Swedish holding company Embracer Group announced that it would acquire the North American and publishing arms of Perfect World Entertainment from Perfect World Europe through its Gearbox Software subsidiary. Following the acquisition, Perfect World Entertainment was dissolved into Gearbox Publishing and renamed as Gearbox Publishing SF (San Francisco), who is now the current publisher for Star Trek Online, while Cryptic will continue operations as a subsidiary of The Gearbox Entertainment Company. Reception Star Trek Online has received mixed reviews, garnering a 66 on Metacritic. GameSpot praised the game's space combat as entertaining, but found the other aspects of the game to be "bland and shallow". MMOify's reviewer reviewed the game favorably but criticized many aspects of gameplay, including "poor voice acting" and repetitive quests. An IGN reviewer described the game experience as feeling like "two games" which did not mesh together well, and although visually it was "quite a gorgeous game", found much of the gameplay to be repetitive in nature. In 2016, Den of Geek ranked Star Trek Online as one of the worst Star Trek games. In the same year, Tom's Guide ranked Star Trek Online as one of the top ten Star Trek games. In 2017, PC Gamer ranked Star Trek Online among the best Star Trek games, noting that it includes original voice acting by actors from the live-action television series. In 2020, Screen Rant ranked Star Trek Online as the best Star Trek game, saying that "This is Star Trek at its best. The nature of the franchise makes it perfectly suited to being a massively multiplayer online role-playing game".
