Star Trek: Infinite

Absolute garbage. Do not under any circumstance buy this game. It has been very abandoned, and frankly those of us who bought it should all get our money back, or a Steam credit. Steam should delist this game due to it being unfinished and unsupported. DO NOT BUY, even on a deep sale. You've been warned.

I really wanted to love Star Trek: Infinite, but I cannot recommend it. It feels unfinished, unbalanced, and empty. The Borg are a weak endgame threat, many story events feel forced, the strategy has little depth, and the other major powers are too passive. There are also many bugs, and support ended very quickly. This game had potential, but it never came together. For a better experience, play Stellaris with Star Trek mod.

No, this game is a shadow of the mods for Stelaris. this game could have been awesome. but was abandoned shortly after launch

This game was abandoned way too soon. It was unfinished at launch and the updates brought it closer and closer, and then wham. It's over.

Its not a bad game at all, I don't understand all the negative reviews. Yes, its basically Stellaris with a Star Trek skin, yes Stellaris has an entire Star Trek mod for free and yes, this version isn't being updated anymore so QoL improvements won't happen. But, its still a solid game overall and it has audio/voice that makes it feel more authentic than the Stellaris mods. Would I pay full price for it, Not at all, would I buy it on deep discount, Yes.

Being one of the People That picked Star Trek Infinite up on release, way back in 2023, I feel a bit late to the game in dropping a review. Sadly, the Negativity around this game is very justified. The game Release and that was it, no bug fixes, a very quick cash grab with the Star Trek IP, and run useing a Stallaris mod... No, really, this was just built off a MOD and left to sink. If you want to scratch that Star Trek itch, check out Star Trek: Voyager – Across the Unknown. It's a far better money spent than on this, or even Star Trek Online would be far more worth your wallet and time and saying it's more worth your wallet is a real statement if you know you know.

In short this is a officially licenced, full price, total conversion mod for a stripped back version of Stellaris. I hadn't played stellaris at the time of get this and I was genuinely exited to play this, though I was quite disappointed at how hemmed it feels and unfaithful the game is to it's source material, having now played the two this is more clunky and less vibrant which is a shame given the huge potential a star trek 4x game could have. This suffers from the same issues as all star trek games since the Activision days, what I mean by that is that it's too safely nestled in canon, no one wants to make a new story line, new characters or concept for a game because they know they will get Paramount upset. Birth of the Federation this is not.

i think the entire studio folded, paradox is only the publisher. anyways, they didn't even understand star trek and it showed. star trek fans would have fudged the use of currency, if you didn't hire a voice actress and then have them explicitly say it still exists in the federation, it does not. this would have been bad enough if they didn't double down with a living standard that doesn't even match the equality of the utopian abundance living standard in stellaris. a living standard that was inspired by the famous example set by the moneyless society of the federation! lol i really hoped this game would do well, because it has a lot of potential IF it had the kind of "custodian" support stellaris has, and if those glaring issues with the scifi politics were fixed, it could have grown. but they literally fired everyone and ran with the money. i wish paradox would hire another studio to clean up the mess, it's not at all unsalvageable, it just needs staff to do it. and cyberpunk proved that a game shown love can win back fans thought long lost.

Its basically a nerfed Stellaris Game with a half baked set of factions and was abandoned and left unfinished fairly quickly. Save your money and buy Stellaris instead and try one of the Star Trek mods there. You would have a far better expierience doing that.

idk what the negative reviews are about... its exactly like Stellaris except for the Start Trek universe, and if you know Star Trek then you have a huge advantage understanding the alien relations and such
