Considering that
Starlink: Battle for Atlas' highest rated Xbox One version is currently sitting sitting at 77% on Metacritic, it probably won't end up as the best-reviewed game of 2018, but it doesn't change the fact that exploring
Atlas might be extremely enjoyable, especially if you're a younger player, and have always dreamt of reaching for the stars in a video game that's not titled
No Man's Sky.
According to Ubisoft,
Starlink is "
a top holiday gift this year," and the fact that you can buy additional toys that actually work in-game will surely boost the sandbox game's overall sales. Yes,
Starlink is a toys-to-life title (just like
Skylanders or the cancelled
Disney Infinity), that includes modular toys to customize on the fly, allowing players to adjust to any situation by changing their ship's weapons.
Ubisoft has released a ship building video tutorial hosted by community developer Gabe Graziani, who gives detailed instructions on how to put together a formidable starship. To see your physical model in the game, all you have to do is connect your modular toys and see them come to life in real time in the game thanks to the
Starlink: Battle for Atlas advanced technology. Be sure to check it out below:
