"When I saw Starlink: Battle for Atlas at E3 2018, It seemed quite impressive. Now, after spending some time with the game I can say that it’s actually a game I’d consider owning, and a concept that I would love to see more of in gaming. The toy-to-life concept of Starlink has really sold me on the idea, and it’s something I would like to see more of in games that focus on character progression and abilities."

it's a shame because it's not a terrible game. The Switch version with the added Star Fox integration was pretty cool.
It's the best Star Fox game in years! The toys were unecessary but I bought most of them anyways. I think they look cool :)
I have every ship, weapon and player minus the ship that came with the XB1 / PS4 set (since I purchased the Switch set with the Arwing). I was tempted to pick up one for the PS4 that came with that other ship when it was on clearance for like $5. They look cool sitting in my display and my two kids actually like playing with them like they are toys.
I bought the game a year or so on the Switch with the Ar-Wing for $20. I treated as a Star Fox game and I wasn't disappointed.
From Ubisoft: "Get a free PC copy of Starlink: Battle for Atlas Digital Edition on Ubisoft Connect PC when you register."
"In Starlink: Battle for Atlas™, you are part of a group of heroic interstellar pilots, dedicated to free the Atlas Star System from Grax and the Forgotten Legion."
They are doing one daily for next 6 days I think. I predict it will alternate dls or add on one day then game the following. Kinda hoping they give the crew 2 away
Farcry primal will also be a good one. Games like that on pc played with a trainer are excellent
This really wasn't a bad little game. A little repetitive but the graphics and mechanics were solid. I enjoyed the Switch version a lot with the Star Fox integration.

But as we head into September 2020, it also signifies the arrival of a brand new set of discounts that come about through the weekly Xbox Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale. And as has been the case for as long as we care to remember, once more the Deals With Gold sale is found delivering a host of great games at bargain basement prices. Want the full list of those available between the 1st-7th September 2020?"
Having had a chance to play Starlink at E3, I also agree with a lot of points made in this article. The game has a lot of charm and the toys add another layer of fun to the overall experience. I’m hoping this game does well saleswise in October but even if it doesn’t it def has the potential to be a must have item this upcoming holiday season for kids.
No Mans Skylanders. No Mans Starfox. Either way, this will be my first toys to life game. Starfox sold me on it.
I'm tempted to buy this game. Don't get me wrong I actually like Zero despite it being a remake of a remake. Anyway Starlink looks like what a modern Star Fox game should be. What with the way the studio is handling the game it almost feels like it should of been a exclusive what with added Star Fox content and being able to play the whole game as the character. I was just expecting an extra level or something of that nature devoted to the character on the Switch version.
This seems very promising much like Disney Infinity
