I’d like to start this review off with a tale of Goofus and Gallant and hope to God the Highlights people don’t sue me for doing so. One day, Goofus and Gallant decide to buy the new toys-to-life game Starlink: Battle for Atlas. Goofus walks into his local GameStop and buys the PlayStation 4 Starter Pack and nothing else. Gallant uses his Switch to log into the eShop where he purchases the Digital Edition of the game for $15 less than what Goofus paid.
Later that day, both boys are enjoying Starlink when they encounter a particularly tough Prime on the desert planet of Kirite. Gallant has his Arwing destroyed, and quickly switches over to one of his four other ships and keeps fighting. Goofus loses his Zenith in the battle, and because he has no other ships to play with, has to pay a fine to respawn back at the last checkpoint he passed. When they come across a spire that needs to be opened with yellow weapons, Gallant equips his Levitator gun and solves the puzzle with ease. Goofus spends the next 20 minutes scouring for canisters he can throw at the spire to do the same thing, before giving up and blasting off into space to battle a Dreadnought only to die and have to pay a fine to respawn all the way back at the last checkpoint he passed.
If you plan on picking up Starlink: Battle for Atlas, don’t be a Goofus. Be a Gallant.
