What players say
I wanted to play this game for so long and im glad i finally purchased it, great story, really good database (enemies, animals, plants...) one of the best starters for people who never played any game. Overall id say 9/10, only thing is maybe they could have put more things linked to the achievements but glad they never added multiplayer achiements.
1 more review, not recommended
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...
