Star Trek: Infinite

this is Stellaris with a Star Trek make over sadly, abandoned

Glad I refunded it when I did. I saw a bare bones attempt at mimicking Stellaris. As of March 27th 2024, The game was officially abandoned like a bloated dear carcass on the side of the road.

Lofty promises were made, but very little was delivered. Money was spent by Nimble Giant and Paradox on all the wrong things; the UI is beautifully designed for the most part, but actual gameplay is atrociously incomplete and extremely buggy. It seems that there will also be no revival from the modding community because the game is too hollow to build anything from it in its current state. Given a do-over I wouldn't get this game even if it were free, it's an annoying waste of space on one's computer.

TL;DR: The game has been abandoned while in a not quite finished state. "Not quite finished" means: The game works! There are no major bugs or main missing features. HOWEVER, balancing of factions and content (or the lack thereof) suggest there was a plan for more updates and DLCs which now will never happen. Without this, the 4 factions feel quite unbalanced which makes playing with friends... challenging. Two of the factions barely even have reasons to interact with the rest of the main powers. The lack of content, however, is the big issue. After playing one game I didn't have the stomach to go in for another one. It feels like playing a Stellaris mod. There is one way to play (for each faction), there is only one way how the game will go and there is just one end-game crisis. War only happens if players (or the AI!) gets bored since expansion is just more useful. It gets repetative soooo quickly. If this game was just the starting point for years of cool stuff to come I'd say: Go grab it! But as it stands, just don't.

This game is unfinished and will never be finished. Needs about 3 balance patches and 12 DLC to make it complete. Even then it is very boring and very slow. A slower and more boring version of Stellaris.

As a Star Trek fan, I was excited for this game. The potential for something akin to Birth of the Federation, but with a modern take on it in the vein of Stellaris. It was not that. It was a poorly done reskin of Stellaris. Two of the primary reasons I purchased this game are because it was Star Trek, and because it was published by Paradox. The level of disappointment I feel when I see this game in my library is palpable.

Von Paradox Spielen sind wir es gewohnt, dass diese nicht ganz fertig erscheinen, dafür aber über die Jahre erweitert und verbessert werden. Insofern geht man als Käufer zu Release immer ein gewisses Risiko ein. Bisher habe ich das nie bereut... Bis jetzt. Das Spiel wurde im Dezember 2023 einfach fallen gelassen. Obwohl es eine gute Grundlage gibt, ist das Spiel weit entfernt davon fertig zu sein. Es fehlen massig Inhalte. Gamma und Delta Quadrant, Borg und Dominion als spielbare Rasse; um nur die gravierendsten Lücken zu nennen. Ich wünschte ich könnte das Spiel noch refunden. Denn der Deal, liebes Paradox Team, war ein anderer. Im Grunde handelt es sich hierbei um einen nicht fertig gestellten Early Access Titel. Mein Vertrauen wurde stark beschädigt. Das wird Einfluss auf zukünftige Kaufentscheidungen haben... Schade.
