Star Trek: Infinite

So I had hopes for this game. I like Star Trek and I like Stellaris, a Star Trek game using the Stellaris engine should be a great thing right? Unfortunately the game just doesn't deliver enough. It's by no means the worst game in the world, if Steam had a middle of the road button I'd probably use that but in it's current state I can't recommend it and since it's not longer being worked on it's not going to get any better. The game never really captures the Star Trek feeling to me and the main way it distinguishes itself from Stellaris is by features it lacks in comparison to the more polished Stellaris. Honestly it's a little frustrating, you can see that there are some solid ideas. I like that the factions have somewhat unique approaches to gameplay and expansion the issue is there isn't enough there. With not enough content factions feel constrained to a certain path and the game feels kind of empty. It's a shame they won't be able to patch it and add more but if you're looking to scratch a Star Trek itch you're probably better off playing a mod in Stellaris.

Plays like a bad mod for stellaris. Also check the date of the last update before buying.

Wish it got A LOT more support, that being said; it's still the best star trek 4x and I can't not recommended it to a star trek fan looking for a cool space empire game. would buy on sale though

This is a badly made Stellaris mod that will apparently not get any updates, as it's been dropped like a hot potato. It's pretty bad, for example the extremely limited number of starships available and the stupid way to get them which are not canonical at all. Also there is no "canonical map" option. There are some mods attempting to fix that, but still it's not great. Do not recommend to buy this.

Very disappointing how this was handled, will never buy another Paradox game.

Released in a buggy, incomplete state and then Paradox pulled the plug on support rather than support their loyal customers who bought the game. The executive team at Paradox need to stop making terrible decisions like this. After Imperator: Rome, City Skylines 2 and now this game, I will no longer pre-order Paradox titles.

I will never trust this developer and Publisher again. This game was a cash grab. They took the bones of another game, and threw a star trek skin. Which is fine, starting out - but they should have continued to expand the game with add-ons. There were promises made that we would see more. Unfortunately, we never did. There are other games that have mods that do better than this with an active dev base.
