I must have missed it, will check it out tonight.

Is paying for content that forms the core of the gameplay optional, or do I literally have to pay for every ship/part?

Not really interested for the same reasons stated by others. No like No Mans Sky, no like toys and or digital toys as dlc bussiness model.

The game looked interesting to me when I first saw it, but the Toys to Life part makes me hesitant. I might give it a shot in a few years when I can get it all cheap.

Decent chunk of gameplay here. Looks pretty good, even though it's not my usual type of game.

I think the game looks great. A space shooting game where you can travel through space and enter any planet at will. With great visual design, lots of different enemies, what seems a decent story and tons of different ships and weapons to unlock either with the toys or ingame, each one with its own strenghts and weaknesses. I was in even before I knew about the Star Fox partnership.

For everyone asking about the toy to life experience. It is optional to have physical toys (you still have all the content if you want it)

From their website :

Q. Do I need the modular toys to play Starlink: Battle for Atlas?

A. No. Each starship, pilot, and weapon in Starlink: Battle for Atlas is available for purchase in physical and digital formats. All Starter Pack physical starships, weapons, and pilots are permanently unlocked digitally as well.

Additionally, all physical toys unlock their digital counterparts for a period of time when connected via the controller mount, letting you play how you want, when you want.

The game does indeed look promising.And honestly, I dont see how people are mistaking it for a No Mans Sky clone.It dosent look anything like that game.

But the problem is the toys.Not only they make the game more expensive to buy, but it takes of pieces of the game and put it behind paywalls, which completely sucks.I may buy it eventually, but only when its discounted.

Yeah, I agree. Based on the footage I've seen, it looks to have potential. However, the toys-to-life thing is a big turn-off.

As of now, I have no interest in the game. I would rather just have a legit Fox Sequel...not another remake...a full blown continuation and evolutionof the IP without tedious gimmicks.
