Star Trek Infinite (2023) | Gameplay Review (PC)
The Good:
Good use of the Star Trek universe
Solid strategy mechanics
Focus on exploration and first contact
The Bad:
Some mechanics feel limited
Interface takes time to master
Needs a better soundtrack
Conclusion
Star Trek: Infinite is a fine science fiction grand strategy experience, designed to appeal to fans of the TV and movie franchise. The development team has tried hard to deliver as many familiar elements as possible and mostly succeeded. The game creates a more focused experience than the New Horizons mod for Stellaris and its mechanics are easier to understand.
Some players have been complaining of game-stopping bugs, which have not impacted my campaigns, so it might be a good idea to wait for a patch or two. Some mechanics, like spies and governors, also feel under-backed. But the ability to create stories and play out scenarios makes Star Trek: Infinite a great experience for both veterans and newcomers to the grand strategy space.
