I'm not in Canada, so the prices I'm looking at are $120 NZ for the digital starter pack or $160 for the deluxe. A full price switch game such as my 2 earlier examples is usually $85-100. I'll happily pay that amount for something I'll get a lot of time and enjoyment out of, but Starlink appears to get most of its flavour from the ship customisation mechanics, while the actual gameplay loop and story appear to be pretty bland.

I've watched a lot of reviews from various sources on YouTube and they all fall into these categories:

- Paid endorsement: "oh my God I love the toys this is so cool I feel like a kid and star fox is in the game this is great! This video is sponsored by ubisoft"
- Slightly critical: "Toy mechanics work well, lots of options to customize your ships, lots to do in game but the things you do get repetitive. Star Fox inclusion adds some depth and is woven nicely into the story, but the overall story isn't too elaborate."

I've yet to see an outright bad review of the game, but for now I cant really justify the price point. Will probably try it if it goes on sale sometime though.

And THEY bring friends and they stop being cool and then you realize, oh, this is a Nazi bar now. And its too late because they’re entrenched and if you try to kick them out, they cause a PROBLEM. So you have to shut them down.
