Star Trek Infinite is a fun grand strategy game that struggles to match the feeling of its source material.
Star Trek is an old and massive franchise, yet it has only given fans glimpses into some of the most critical moments in its universe’s history, often through the lens of the Federation. In contrast, Star Trek Infinite puts you in the seat of the ruler of one of the great factions in the Alpha Quadrant. While this lofty position allows you to watch many stories play out, it doesn’t always nail the feeling of what it means to be Star Trek, especially to those not already interested in the genre.
If you played Stellaris, then you’ll already have an idea of how Star Trek Infinite works. The game occurs on a giant galaxy map, which can be zoomed in to view specific systems where planets, ships, and stations can interact. You’re free to pause or speed up the action at any time, and you’ll be doing a lot of the former, as there is an absolute ton of things to keep up with.
The problematic part about recommending a Grand Strategy game, even one by Paradox Interactive , is that learning one is a mammoth task, one which Star Trek Infinite’s tutorial is woefully underprepared for. If you’re coming into the game solely as afan, then this knowledge alone might be enough to turn you off, as there is a lot to keep track of, and random events can force you to change your strategy on the fly.
