Starlink: Battle for Atlas Reviews
Once you put aside Starlink's somewhat confused nature and design, what you're left with is a genuinely enjoyable open space adventure.
Starlink's fighters are fun, whether you're playing with them in game mode or just racing around the living room and dogfighting with your kids or friends.
A great space opera for kids, which includes fast combat, deep exploration and some strategic elements. The use of toys and split screen multiplayer fits perfectly in the game. Switch version adds Starfox (with his own campaign, starship and allies).

Frustrating platform elements and rote missions prevent Starlink from being as good as its promise deserves.
A muddled mess of good intentions and corporate greed that ruins a promising space adventure with needless repetition and horribly expensive toys to life gimmicks.
Starlink is a fun, albeit repetitive, game of space combat and exploration--but the digital version of the game is the way to go if you're on a budget.
Starlink: Battle for Atlas is Ubisoft's new attempt to make a galactic war-type game and it's fun, entertaining and joyful. Also the toy-to-life experience is something new and unique. Though the missions can become repetitive at times, but the level design and addictive gameplay make up for it. In the end, The whole package is a beautiful and fun game that absolutely worth your time and money. So be ready and go for saving Atlas with Ubisoft's Spaceship!

Ubisoft Toronto's Starlink: Battle for Atlas is just what we needed as an original and unique toys-to-life product with wonderful gameplay and lore.
An astoundingly excellent adventure game with a lot to do and a great deal of area to explore. They even take the game to the physical world and give you the option of holding the ships and weapons in your hands. Change them out to be instantly shown in the game and combine them in any way you choose. This is one of the best games to come out for the Switch yet!
There's no other title with quite the same approach as Starlink has taken and it's easily the best integration of toys to life that has been done so far.
While Starlink shot for the moon and missed, it still managed to lands amongst the stars.
Starlink: Battle for Atlas is a good game that's robbed of greatness by a lack of ambition and terrible toys-to-life implementation. Everything it gets right – the clever mix-and-match shipbuilding, the combat, the controls, the imaginative alien worlds, the decent space opera storyline – can't escape the vortex of tedium that comes with pedestrian mission design, planets that are mechanically the same, and the crushing knowledge that people who buy just the Starter Pack are getting an unquestionably inferior experience.
Before you know it, Starlink turns playing with toys into something that feels an awful lot like work.
Starlink is a great outing for folks of all ages. The toys are costly but well-made and great fun both in and out of game. Buy it.
Instead of forcing story-based planet missions into a game that doesn't have an interesting story, Starlink should have doubled down on space combat. If it did, the flaws in the story would have been outshined by the constant joy experienced while dogfighting in space.
The incredible sights and sounds and satisfying mechanics of Starlink: Battle for Atlas make exploring its gorgeous planets a joy.
While the overarching plot isn't exactly high drama and the gameplay can feel limited by artificial busywork, Starlink: Battle For Atlas is the kind of game I've been craving for a while.
Ubisoft Toronto's first original IP looks great, plays beautifully, and puts a fresh and fun spin on toys that come to life inside games
Starlink: Battle for Atlas has moments of exciting combat, neat customization, and some engaging mechanics. However, this new intergalactic action adventure suffers an engine misfire due to a ton of repetition, occasionally awkward controls, and a lackluster story.
Starlink: Battle For Atlas is a fun and enjoyable open-world space sim that tells a charming story with a likeable cast of characters. Despite its repetitive side activities and money-sucking selection of toys, the core gameplay loop and combat system are worth your time. The fact that everything can be brought digitally is also a plus.
