I got Zombie Vikings on a sale last week. Today I played it a lot. Then I hooked up my Starlink toys and played the first hour or so. 

Zombie Vikings: I really love the art style, music and gameplay. It's a brawler like a Final Fight or Streets of Rage. It's animation style is more like Castle Crashers but with a macabre and comedic art style. 

The dialog is really funny too. The story is about getting the Odin's eye back from Loki. You have four characters to choose from and they each have their own backstory that unfurles as you play. I'm playing as Seagurd who is half viking, half sea monster. You can play with four players at the same time, but I played solo. You get access to new weapons and shields as you go. There are a variety of fighting moves you can use. At one point, I got a pig sidekick who gave me extra abilities as well. It's a fun game. 

Starlink: I hooked up the toys to the controller. What a strange way to play this game. My controller is twice as heavy now.

The game so far is interesting. I did a space battle in my ship, as you would expect, but then crash landed on a planet. You fix your ship right away and then fly around over the surface of the planet doing various missions and fighting just above the ground as if your space ship was a hovercraft. You can switch out weapons on your ship to fight different enemies and the game helps you choose. You just snap on another toy weapon and it's active in the game. There are also upgrades within the game for your pilot, ship and weapons which I guess I'll get as I do more missions. The story is a bit of a mystery to me so far. I think I'm helping a rebel pilot escape from an enemy they've just stolen something from. I guess it'll come together as I play on.
