Reception
Star Trek: Infinite received “mixed or average reviews” according to aggregator Metacritic. On
Steam, it received mixed reviews. IGN’s Will Borger gave it 5/10, or “mediocre.” Most complaints
focused on the presence of bugs and glitches, some of which prevented the game from functioning
properly.
It was favorably received in preliminary reviews up to September 2023. Mick Fraser called it "huge,
complex, and a Trekkie's dream".[6] IGN's Will Borger described a preliminary build as doing a
good job of bringing Star Trek into 4X gaming as something akin to "Star Trek-themed
spreadsheets", but also writing that the game "can sometimes feel overwhelming".[5] At PC Gamer,

Russell Adderson called it "the Star Trek game of my dreams", especially praising the mission tree
system and use of Star Trek lore.[4] Polygon indicated that, like in Stellaris (the game Star Trek
Infinite is based on), warfare was the most "underwhelming" part of the game, but said that the
review version of Star Trek: Infinite was "already promising" and "likely to get a lot deeper" with
Paradox's history of ongoing support and downloadable content for titles.[3]
