Holiday Gift Guide - Starlink: Battle for Atlas



Starlink: Battle for Atlas is an all-new action-adventure game developed by Ubisoft Toronto. You choose your pilot, hull, wings and weapons, combine them to build a custom starship and lock it into place. As you pilot your way to a nearby planet within the Atlas Star System, you sense you’re not alone. Suddenly, three enemy ships emerge from a nearby asteroid field and it becomes very clear you are not welcome. 





You try to fight them off, but realize your current loadout isn’t working in this situation.  You make a lightning-fast decision, swap out your wings and weapons on the fly and re-engage, as another epic battle begins to save the galaxy from Grax and the Forgotten Legion



My Thoughts

This amazing game combines video games with imaginative play. Kids can go off on exciting space adventures in starships and help to save the galaxy.  They can choose between different pilots, ships, wings, and weapons to custom build their own starship. They can then go out and explore and complete missions in the Atlas Star System.  Multiple people can play at once using the split screen option, which is great if you have more than one child. The graphics are really awesome and make you feel like you're inside a movie.



In addition to the video game, my children are having fun just playing with the ship and action figures. They are only allowed an hour a day on video games, but when that hour is up, they take their Starlink ships and action figures and continue with the game. It is getting them to use their imaginations. My younger children are seven and eight and they just loved this game. Even my sixteen year old was playing with them. It's challenging, but not frustrating for younger kids. I would recommend it to anyone. It would make a great holiday gift because its like getting two toys in one!
