Greetings, Polygon readers! Each week, we round up the most notable new releases to streaming and VOD, highlighting the biggest and best new movies for you to watch at home.

Some intellectual properties really suffer for a lack of good board games. Fans of Transformers, G.I. Joe, and others have often been starved of good board games for their favorite franchises (at least until recently). One that has not had that problem, however, is Star Trek. It has a long and varied history with board games of varying qualities going back decades, almost to the Original Series’s initial run. I’m always game to try a Star Trek game, so when it is offered I rarely refuse. These are some of my favorites. Honorable mention goes to the Star Trek: The Next Generation Interactive VCR Board Game and the unmatched Robert O’Reilly (especially his Gowron eyes). No offense, Chancellor, but there just wasn’t room for you on the list!

Star Trek contains multitudes. It is philosophy and comedy. It’s space opera and soap opera. It is often a legal procedural. And, just as vitally and consistently as any of its facets, Star Trek is horny.

My Remnant 2 character is dangerously close to joining the vast pantheon of characters I've left in limbo, just after completing the tutorial - a race of outcasts we might call the Abandonians, kicking their heels at campfires and savepoints, while I drift guiltily back to older games I've already completed several times over. It's not that I dislike Gunfire's sci-fantasy co-op shooter - the multiple-dimension premise is pleasantly loopy, and I like the variety of procgen landscapes. There just isn't enough time in the day, not when I'm replaying Into The Breach for the 14th time. Still, perhaps the introduction of a new mode built for quickfix, story-free sessions could persuade me to give 2023's 24th best game another whirl?

For those of us old enough to remember, Super Smash Bros first came to the Nintendo 64 back in 1999.  At the time, it was revolutionary because it combined 12 characters from 9 different Nintendo franchises for a new fighting game experience.  It featured a great commercial with different Nintendo characters frolicking in a meadow until they started beating each other up.  This ushered in a whole new franchise for Nintendo that nowadays draws on all of their IPs and even some 3rd party IPs like Street Fighter and Metal Gear Solid .

I confess: I'm a Star Trek nerd — and commodities enthusiast, too. Thus, asteroid mining should be my personal heaven. On Sunday, I watched with the excitement of a five-year old how a NASA space probe brought back the largest-ever stash of asteroid rubble to Earth. But was this feat a step closer to commercial space mining? Not even close.

Watching Fionna and Cake is kind of like watching a surprisingly game 80-year-old ball with her grandkids. They’re comparatively limber, but she’s holding her own — and you realize most of what they know they must have learned from her, and while little Billy and Jessica were playing, she was up in the stands learning from them, too.

The Picard show may have wrapped its third and final season in April, but Sir Patrick Stewart isn’t done with Jean-Luc or his story just yet.

With around 1000 explorable planets on offer, Starfield is positively bursting with new environments to explore. But some players think they’ve discovered something more familiar: an homage to a classic Halo planet. Kinda. 

Early reviews of Poolman, a new comedy mystery film directed by Chris Pine, are calling it one of the worst movies of 2023.

If I’ve learned anything from science fiction — and actual science — it’s that space travel is difficult. It requires vast political capital and financial heft to travel through space for even short distances, and exiting a ship to explore a planet means counting out oxygen tanks and accepting that even a small error could result in death. From Outer Wilds to Alien, the best sci-fi stories about space exploration emphasize those stakes — how even in societies where space exploration has become accessible and even normalized, it’s still extraordinarily dangerous.

Paradox have announced that Star Trek: Infinite is coming out on October 12th. Infinite’s previous trailers already made it look like a "Stellaris in a different version of space" affair - which is by no means an unfavourable comparison - and the latest footage shows off more grand strategy shenanigans. Planet management. Lotsa menus. Expanding factions, sometimes peacefully if you prefer a clear conscience.

The 4X grand strategy game Star Trek: Infinite will release for PC and Mac on 12th October 2023, Paradox and developer Nimble Giant Entertainment have announced.

The 4X grand strategy game Star Trek: Infinite will release for PC and Mac on 12th October 2023, Paradox and developer Nimble Giant Entertainment have announced.

Every nerd who lived through the 1990s has got a favourite Star Trek series. For me it’s the more morally ambiguous story arcs of Deep Space Nine, for others it could be the strong female leads of Voyager, but for most it will surely be The Next Generation. This was Star Trek’s return to TV screens in the late 80s, defining the look, feel and storytelling style of the decade of television that followed it, and with plenty of iconic episodes and moments. Whichever show you prefer, Star Trek: Infinite more than caters to 90s Trekkies.

In 2016, Paradox released Stellaris, its first space-based 4X grand strategy game. It allowed players to take on the role of an upstart interstellar empire, establish colonies, manage their government, forge alliances, and crush their enemies. The game’s galaxy was vast and robust, but, as Polygon’s own Charlie Hall pointed out in his initial review, it was also fairly generic, a weakness that the modding community has sought to rectify by applying the aesthetics and history of their own favorite space operas overtop of it, such as Star Wars, Mass Effect, and of course, Star Trek. Not to be outdone, Paradox and developer Nimble Giant have been creating an officially licensed Star Trek 4X game, Star Trek: Infinite. Paradox offered me the opportunity to preview the game over Labor Day weekend, and those four days melted away.

Starfield players are a creative bunch, and when they're not filling spaceships full of potatoes or building New Atlantis in Lego, they're using the robust character creator to recreate a bunch of famous faces.

Once you’ve designed how your character looks, what their background is and what traits they have, you only need to give them a name. Simple, right? Wrong. Naming your character is just as important as everything else in Starfield.

Starfield is finally here in its non-'advance access' form and its players are already hard at work. Not hard at work exploring the galaxy or cataloguing the flora and fauna of distant alien worlds, mind you. No, they're hard at work doing the truly important stuff: making celebrities in its character creator before sending them to die in the chilly void of space. Per aspera ad astra.

Starfield has finally launched, available on Steam and Xbox Series X|S. It is also on Game Pass.
