I figure I would ask the community if anyone has any dealings with this terrain. It is fairly cheap, and reminds me a lot of deadzone terrain.

Is it good? Bad? Not worth getting? My intent is to use it for Infinity

I picked up some of this thinking it would be compatible with RoboGear/ Urban War Hexagon scenerey because the connectors look similar but it wasn't. The panels are also a lot smaller than i was expecting and definitely smaller than deadzone, which is a similar size to the hexagon terrain. There are some interesting details and panels but you aren't going to get a lot of usable Infinity terrain out of it, especially if you are using the gothic arch windows.

Not sure I'd recommend that particular set, especially for the intended purpose. Very much follows 40k design philosophy - it can look cool, but the "swiss cheese gothic" look is a nightmare when dealing with a TLoS game focused on individual models.

More generally, I like Pegasus terrain. Definitely on the higher end, in terms of value. It's hard to find any building kits in their price range, let alone ones so flexible. Some people balk at the lack of detail (needs moar skullz!) on some kits, but I rather like the flexibilty it allows. I can just as easily use their Gothic City kits for 40k as I could for WFB. Rock solid, too. Haven't used any of their clip-style connector kits, though, so take that last bit with a grain of salt.

There are 3 or 4 sets in EACH range and Pegasus gets 1 or 2 at best under license (the original kits are Russian but there have been French and English licenses too).
The syberclicks stuff is way smaller scaled - but it will link up with some of the faux-fantasy stuff if you can find it (it WON'T be under the Pegasus name, though).

About the only thing it has in common with the hexagon/platformer is the metallic plastic moulding (and the original maker). They are compatible within their own range, but outside of that, you're out of luck without modelling skills and glue.

HEXAGON is ONE range of products and is part of the "ROBOGEAR" range.
PLATFORMER is another separate range of products (and includes the biotoxin/chemical plant kit in the range).
Syberclicks is a THIRD range of kits. There is some pseudo-medieval fantasy stuff in this range, too.
There is also a "power station" range of kits with another incompatible (with the others) set of connectors.

The Gothic stuff is an altogether different range of stuff.

I've used all of it. It can work for infinity, but the windows offer the same issue that GW terrain has. Too many holes.
I use them for different purposes.
The Platformer stuff gets used by me to make catwalks that only S1-2 models can use (in infinity). The syberclicks gets used for making terrain that up to 40mm bases can use and I put black card behind the window wall sections.
The Hexagon stuff gets used to make scenery pieces that provide LOF blocking and/or cover.

I have two Pegasus kits, they're both really decent quality but the kits are pretty intimidating.

When you open the box up, it's just a crap ton of sprues of identical looking panels.

I've used or played on just about every Pegasus sci-fi terrain kit/line.

Middling Kits.
-Syberclix is probably the least inspiring to me. Very low fences and the gothic windows don't visually jive with the clicks system.
-Hexagon(several kits available) is pretty good for beginners. Bigger buildings are easier to make and the clips don't look totally out of place against the angular panels. It was great for starting out, but I lost interest after a while. Mostly it gets used a greebling fodder now.
-Platformer (several Kits available) is very good looking (again very short fences...) I use quite a bit as parts in building my own terrain. Probably the best looking panels of the lot

Pretty good kits.
-Power Plant is a good kit for making a standalone piece of terrain. I worked one of these for a friend, though I did use some additional parts.
-The Technobridge is a very nice kit if you need a bridge. The ability to combine kits is great too. Someday I'll get one of these.

My favorites:
-Chemical Plant is not a great standalone kit, but it is by far my favorite kit for greebling up my buildings. Almost every piece of terrain I build has some Chemical Plant parts in it. Every gamer who builds their own terrain should have one of these kits. I'm thinking about buying another.
-Gothic Building series (Several Kits available. There are several of these and they are all great. You have to build your own roofs and floors, but these kits are quite big, extremely sturdy, and work in a variety of settings, from medieval up through grim Darky-ness.
Here's one I built

All this to say, if you want something gothic, I'd recommend skipping Syberclix and picking up one of these

It's going to be a bit more expensive, but you'll end up with a much sturdier building that in a year you'll still want to use.

My Gothic Cathedral will be used for many years, but my old Hexagon buildings mostly sit in their boxes.

Other excellent options for infinity would be the Deadzone terrain kits. A bit modular looking but definitely a style that works well with Infinity.
Also, I've had really good experiences with the Dust Tactics "Warzone Tenements" and Quoneset hut packs. The Warzone Tenements remind me alot of the Gothic Building series except they're a bit more contemporary in style.

Again they're a bit more expensive than Syberclix, but not much and the results are much better.

+1 for their Technobridge

+1 for gothic city buildings

Real sturdy, easy to build, easy to paint with airbrush.

I didnt glue any of the different wall sections to each other, I simply use the pegs to stick a random building together for each game.

+1000 for the Gothic buildings. A few years back I did a whole city of them. the chemical plant was also a great source for dressing them up.

I later added a massive bridge

It was only my iron will and lack of storage space that stops me from doing an Empire State building type thing.
