Starlink: Battle for Atlas

Yes, you have to turn off the virtual machine thing, and yes you have to install Ubisoft Connect or whatever (this sh-- is absolutely 100% annoying). However, I loved this game back at release and I love it now. I absolutely hate the company Ubisoft and all that they are. It was on Summer Sale with literally everything digital for less that 15.00. Le Sigh.

This game is essentially unplayable on modern operating systems, as it requires users to disable a critical BIOS security feature just to run. It's unacceptable that this has been the only "official fix" for a well-known bug that's existed for over five years. Since the game is no longer receiving updates, this issue will likely never be resolved, leaving the game permanently broken. Charging over $50 for such a product is simply outrageous.

If you liked starfox and wished it was actually open world, give this a try.

DLC doesn't register to your account upon buying on steam. Ubisoft side issue. You can still buy it here but they wont help you gain access to it heads up avoid dlc and this game honestly. There is a work around to start the game in offline mode. then switch online afterward to work around issue.

Would not recommend because Ubisoft support is ♥♥♥♥. I bought the Deluxe Edition and yes I got access to more weapons, ships and pilots, but probably for only the first 5 play sessions. Afterwards I no longer had access due to a bug. Ubisoft support pretended to help out at first, but eventually just said they are no longer providing support and just closed my ticket. As a game, this is probably a 7, but I'm not recommending because Ubisoft sux.

Better than Starfield.

Always, fun and exciting to start a game of Starlink after having not played it for several years. Quickly, I start to remember why I never finished it. Besides the technical issues (120Hz/FPS cap in full screen, inability to use RTX HDR in borderless windowed mode, issues with Intel high core CPUs, issues with virtualization, etc.), the game gets extremely repetitive and boring fast. The story is a complete snooze fest. It becomes very apparent early on that you are not playing to enjoy the story. So, the gameplay must be the reason? Nope, it is extremely repetitive. You basically do the same two to three tasks over and over and over and over again... What a boring game! Update happened in April and now DLC that people paid for no longer works. Oh, and then there's Ubisoft Connect...

★★★★✰ (Internet off to use the DLC, using my VPN's kill switch).
