Critic Reviews
But Why Tho? - Matt Donahue - 8 / 10
This game is made for Star Trek fans through and through. From the well-crafted story elements to the small random easter egg events, there is something for those with various entry points into the fandom.
COGconnected - Jaina Hill - 68 / 100
Having spent many hours on Infinite, I think I’ve seen all I need to see. Expansions and DLC might bring me back, but now we are talking about gating content behind another paywall. That sounds less enticing to me, especially when there is a more interesting mod available for free. Someone patiently waiting for new Star Trek games will definitely have some fun puzzling through Star Trek: Infinite, but I think I am probably going to go back over that New Horizon.
IGN - Will Borger - 5 / 10
Star Trek: Infinite does a great job of capturing the look and feel of Star Trek, but those enticing bones splinter under the weight of its bugs and glitches.
PC Gamer - Tom Hatfield - 72 / 100
Compelling, but not quite there yet. Needs two seasons to grow the beard.
Rock, Paper, Shotgun - Sin Vega - Unscored
An undemanding but enjoyable large scale 4X, with an emphasis on exploration and remixing possibilities in a familiar but somewhat flexible setting.
Stevivor - Steve Wright - 8.5 / 10
Coupled with the likes of Star Trek Resurgence, a narrative adventure also released this year, it’s safe to say that Star Trek video game fans haven’t had it this good in a long damn time. If you’re a strategy fan, you’ll enjoy this, and if you’re a Star Trek fan you’ll absolutely gobble this up. As well you should.
TheSixthAxis - Nick Petrasiti - 8 / 10
Star Trek: Infinite gives us a damn solid 4X experience doused in the rich history of the Star Trek universe, and with plenty of space to include more Deep Space Nine, Voyager and other quadrants of the galaxy through expansions. Even if you're not a fan of the source material, it can still stand alone as a good experience which will only improve over time.
The Nerd Stash - Julio La Pine - 8 / 10
One the best Star Trek games we’ve had in years!
