I was so weak
. I watched Pedz stream a couple of gaming sessions and I really liked the look of it. I was going to go for the toys option but, as a set, they are super-expensive and I decided to go the download route... and that option is still expensive

I've played maybe two hours so far and... I think it's lovely! The inclusion of Fox and Co in the Switch version is really well done and I'm kinda thinking that this is a new StarFox adventure. The ships feel good when you steer them; the analog sticks are great for sweeping the vehicle around. I'm having a lot of fun with the gameplay as it mixes up flying, shooting, exploration and collecting into a slick - and big - adventure.
I feel that there is confusion about the game in terms of the toy and digital options. You can use either approach and have fun; the toys look great and - from watching vids - the tactile nature and ease of swapping bits on and off is good fun... but the digital approach is (relatively) cheaper and quicker. There's no doubt that this is an expensive game to get everything for; I'd suggest watching some vids before splashing out on either option.
Some folk have made comparisons with No Man's Sky. I can see why but only in broad terms; this game is simpler and easier to get into... and offers more immediate fun. Production values are high - it is perhaps surprisingly slick on Switch and Ubi has utilised their Snowdrop engine which I'd previously experienced with The Division.
I'm hoping that my initial enthusiasm continues and, at this stage, it feels like it will. The opening hours have been terrific.
