What Starlink: Battle for Atlas is

Starlink: Battle for Atlas is an adventure game developed by Ubisoft Toronto and released in 2018. It was published by Ubisoft Entertainment. It is available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on Snowdrop.

The premise, in the publisher's words

You choose your pilot, hull, wings and weapons, combine them to build a custom starship and lock it into place atop your game controller. 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 astreroid 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.
