Wanna know if Star Trek Infinite is Star Trek or really just reskinned ?

Check out this 3h30m bit of gameplay as the Klingon Empire and form your own opinion!

@Imperor As I love Stellaris so much, I gave it to try to a friend that is also a huge strategy games and sci-fi fan, but he found it a bit too much overwhelming.

Do you think he should give a try to this new Trek game, as it's the same formula but seemingly more accessible?

Great question. Honestly, it's almost a carbon copy of Stellaris. I have found only the tiniest differences in the actual gameplay.

It feels more static and formulaic with and thus guided with the missions you have. These guide you clearer on what's expected of you with your chosen race/group.

Otherwise it's really almost entirely the same, beyond adding EU4 and HOI4 elements to the mix with scripted events and the missions tree.

I should point out that there are some mechanics that work differently, but sort of come down to the same thing. Governors are now on ships, rather than planets and you move them around and the same goes for spies, for example.
