Most notably, it restricts free movement of protagonists in favour of \u201cNav icons\u201d that fast travel you to items, NPCs, and decisions. You can see an example of a Nav icon above.<\/p>\n<p>Subtitles and menus have also been altered to suit the handheld nature of the Switch.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/stevivor.com\/reviews\/star-trek-resurgence-review-in-the-spirit-of-starfleet\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">I adored\u00a0Resurgence\u00a0when first playing on Xbox<\/a>, likening it to\u00a0Star Trek The Next Generation A Final Unity.
