Do you love survival, Star Trek, and immersing yourself into the games you play? Then this upcoming Star Trek VR game, Star Trek: Infection, is going to be right up your alley!

Developed by Played with Fire and Published by Broken Mirror Games, Star Trek: Infection is a survival VR game set in the titular world of Star Fleet and space exploration. Star Trek is no stranger to the VR genre, with Star Trek Bridge Crew being a fun experience. However, while Bridge Crew is a more traditional take on the Star Trek world, Infection jumps into a far different genre.

Infection touches on an aspect of the world we sometimes see in shows like Star Trek: Next Generation and Deep Space 9. Infection explores how space is not only a frontier for adventure, but also of horrific things that that hide in the unknown. We’ve seen this in things like the Borg and Q, but now we have a view of it from the perspective of an average officer.

You play as a Vulcan Starfleet officer, trapped on a dead and empty ship. You are not alone, however, as a parasite has taken hold of everything, including your own body. Now mutating and having your own Vulcan abilities change, you must fight to keep not only your life, but even your own mind and body.

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THIS VR STAR TREK GAME

Tend to Your VR Body: Inhabit a full-body avatar in VR as an alien organism mutates your physical form. Keep an eye on your condition, deciding whether to treat or cultivate the mutations.
Fight or Embrace the Infection: The infection is changing more than your appearance. Your renowned Vulcan composure is showing cracks while your signature telepathy is altered, all while unlocking new but unstable powers. It’s up to you to juggle your mutations, learning to manage or exploit the side effects.
Face Horrors in Your Mind: Your sanity is faltering. Traumatic memories buried long ago are being resurfaced, against your will. Shadows move where they shouldn’t. It’s as if something in the ship is learning your fears and using them against you.
Set Phasers to Stun & Scan for Life: Use your phaser or rely on stealth and your iconic Vulcan nerve pinch to silently take down threats. Use your tricorder to scan for dangers and uncover vital resources.
Get Your Hands Dirty: Use your VR hands to interact with the ship. Use tools and workstations to physically craft items and gadgets

Star Trek: Infection will release sometime in 2025 for VR on the Meta Store, as well as a on Steam shortly after. You can also discuss Star Trek: Infection on the PopGeeks Video Game Forum!

I think some people are being too harsh on this movie. It’s not a traditional action-packed crime thriller—it’s a slow-burn character study. It’s about survival, adaptation, and what people are willing to do to get ahead. Yes, the pacing is slow, but that adds to the realism. Guk-Hui’s journey isn’t supposed to be glamorous; it’s messy and full of setbacks. I liked that it didn’t romanticize crime but showed its consequences.

For a film that wanted to be a crime thriller, Bogotá: City of the Lost didn’t deliver much actual crime or thrills. The cinematography was nice, but that’s about it. The pacing was inconsistent, and the emotional beats didn’t land. If they had focused more on the underworld politics and Guk-Hui’s descent into crime, it could have been great. Instead, it felt like a collection of missed opportunities.

I didn’t mind this one! It had a slow pace, but I liked the different setting and seeing how Guk-Hui had to adjust. The crime elements could have been stronger, though. It felt like the movie wanted to be intense but never fully committed. Still, I wouldn’t call it bad, just not as thrilling as I expected.

One thing I did appreciate was the historical backdrop. The Asian Financial Crisis in 1997-1998 pushed a lot of families into difficult situations, and I liked that the film used that as a starting point. Immigration stories often focus on hope, but this one focused on struggle, which felt more authentic. I just wish the film had explored Bogotá’s local dynamics more instead of making it feel like a generic crime setting. It had potential, but it didn’t fully capitalize on it

I watched Bogotá: City of the Lost, and while it had potential, I couldn’t help but feel like it was trying too hard to be something it wasn’t. The setup was interesting—South Koreans finding themselves trapped in a harsh new world—but the execution lacked depth. Guk-Hui’s journey had the makings of a gripping crime drama, but the storytelling was sluggish, and the character development was thin. Mr. Park’s dream of a shopping mall could have been a compelling throughline, but instead, it felt like an afterthought. I understand why some compared it to Vincenzo, but honestly, Vincenzo had style and dark humor—this film had neither. 5.6 on IMDb seems fair.

I actually really enjoyed this movie! It painted a bleak but realistic picture of survival in a foreign land. Guk-Hui’s struggles felt authentic, and the moral ambiguity of his choices added weight to the narrative. While it wasn’t perfect, I appreciated the film’s rawness. It wasn’t just about crime—it was about adapting, about family, and about ambition. Song Joong-Ki delivered another solid performance, showing the desperation and cunning needed to navigate this unforgiving world. The setting also felt fresh; we rarely see Korean productions exploring South America. It’s not an easy watch, but I think it’s worth the time.

Here's looking at you, kid.

I had high expectations for Bogotá: City of the Lost because of Song Joong-Ki, but this film was a letdown. It was trying to be gritty, but the pacing dragged, and the tension never really built up. The whole "dirty business" angle had potential, but instead of immersing us in the underworld, the film kept meandering. Mr. Park was an intriguing character, but we barely got to know him. I wouldn’t say it’s abysmal, but I wouldn’t recommend it either.

The film reminded me of Narcos but with a Korean protagonist. The concept was great—Koreans trying to make it in Bogotá, caught between corruption and survival—but the execution was uneven. I liked how it acknowledged real-world issues like smuggling and political bribery, but it never went deep enough. The themes of migration and lost opportunities resonated, but the story lacked cohesion. I don’t regret watching it, but I wouldn’t rewatch it either.

This movie was… okay. It wasn’t terrible, but I wouldn’t call it a must-watch. The setting was interesting, and I liked the concept of a struggling Korean immigrant trying to survive in Bogotá. But the plot felt scattered, and the pacing was slow. If you’re a big Song Joong-Ki fan, you might enjoy it just for his performance. Otherwise, there are better crime thrillers out there.
