I'm getting everything out of this game that I had hoped I would get out of Starfield. Unlike that game, here the things that are abstracted and gamified are really tastefully chosen, and the actually enjoyable parts of the space captain fantasy are elevated. The world feels open, endless, and mysterious, without actually being aimless, bland, and opaque. Ship customization is fun, with lots of opportunities to tailor your vessel to a particular playstyle without getting lost in a sea of choices. This really feels like a game that was created by someone with a great eye for what the game needs in order to sell the fantasy and what would only be excess friction.
For years I have searched for the perfect space game where I can do anything I want when I want with an ever expanding universe. I wanted a space game where I had no objective other than to find my place in the galaxy where my decisions mattered and where I could form bonds with other factions and lifeforms along the way. I eventually gave up this search thinking this said game doesnt exist and could not exist. That was until, finally, Approaching Infinity showed up on my recommendation list and I was immediately hooked. You want to be a mercenary that takes job after job until you finally earn enough money to retire on your very own paradise planet that you can govern over? Approaching Infinity lets you do that You want to be a spelunking explorer who searches for the next big tip on ancient space stations so you can plunder ancient artifacts and test on said artifacts to unlock their powers for the benefit of you alone or to sell to the highest bidder? Approaching Infinity lets you do that You want to be a Scavenger who finds desolate space hulks roaming in the vast emptiness of space to collect its hidden bounties and to tow the wrecked ship to the closet space station to sell it for scrap? Or perhaps youd like to repair the broken down hulk to fly as your new flagship? Approaching Infinity lets you do that I could seriously go on and on about the many things you can do in this game where other titles dramatically fall short but I think i've made my point. There is a game loop for every kind of space sim player in Approaching Infinity. It also runs amazingly on the Steam Deck!
tl;dr: This is a far better game than it appears at first glace. I can't stop playing and discovering new cool things to do. Approaching Infinity is a full-featured roguelike RPG with Trek-style spaceships and landing parties. You can explore planets, claim tow or blow up derelict spaceships, complete quests for a variety of factions, kit out your squad and your ship, and generally get the kind of deep ability to affect the landscape that you get in a top-flight roguelike. For example, you can cross water with water walker devices, using a power some of your officers might learn, or freeze it with a freeze grenade or freeze gun. You can use sonic damage to blow up crystals and they might turn into gemstones. You can outfit your ship with devices that let you mine asteroids, sell commodities at different space stations, and get barred from entering a port because you angered the locals. I have won the game precisely once so far (Tentaculon Victory) and there are many more ways to win... and even more ways to die horribly. Maybe that cryo tube has an officer in it you can recruit, or maybe it's a blood-sucking zombie. You don't know until you open it. The graphics aren't spectacular but they're not embarrassing either. Play for a bit and you won't notice. In short, don't sleep on this terrific labor of love. I have had a great time raiding space temples, modifying my weapons with the crafting system, and picking alien plants. There is so much to do that 70 hours in I feel like I've barely scratched the surface. If you're really lucky, you might even be able to find the Amulet of Yendor!
