    I wasn't really sure if I needed a full Astro Bot game, or maybe not right at release day. But I ended up getting this and I'm glad I did. I just played about 4 hours straight which is extremely rare for me these days, I seem to be losing interest in gaming and then the games I do try usually don't keep my interest. They did a great job with this. I am tired of the super difficult trend in gaming, this is a great game to relax with. Still some challenge finding everything to 100% the levels, and I am starting to encounter some mini/secret levels that take a handful of tries, but it is fun the entire time. The music is incredible. The different worlds and themes so far have been great. My expectations for this were totally too low. Can't wait to play more.

    Astro is pure old-school, platforming, cartoon joy. It’s absolute FUN. The gameplay is gold (huge grin from start to finish). It’s beyond gorgeous (way more impressive than photo-realism). It looks like a Dreamworks/Pixar-style movie. The music is infectious. They don’t make ‘em like this anymore. We need more of this..

    Astro Bot is an absolute delight from start to finish. It’s bursting with charm, color, and creativity—every level feels like a love letter to PlayStation fans. The gameplay is tight and satisfying, the visuals are stunning, and the use of the DualSense controller is probably the best I’ve experienced so far. It’s not just a tech demo anymore—this is a full-on platforming masterpiece. Whether you're a longtime gamer or playing with your kids, this game is a must-have for any PS5 owner!

    This is one of the best platformers ever made! Great visuals, great soundtrack, super responsive controls, addictive, and a very quality made game. If you’re a big Playstation fan then you will get hit with nostalgia from the bots you rescue from each level!! If you have played the free PS5 pack in game Astro’s Playroom, and wanted more, then this is exactly what you’re looking for. Its Astro’s Playroom but made into a full fledged game and its even better and more improved. There’s a reason this is the highest rated game of 2024! I highly recommend it

    Love the game, sound, visual, gameplay mechanics. The music is really amazing! I have the soundtrack on my playlist. There’s a lot of PlayStation iconic characters that I grew up with and seeing them put a big smile on my face. I beat the game 100%. Definitely recommend this if you wanna see your old childhood game characters and have a blast playing.

    I’m about halfway into the game and so far it has been a constant blast! The game itself is incredibly creative with its gimmicks and worlds. The music is a joy, the platforming feels smooth and responsive, and the level design is immersive and fun. Highly recommend Astro Bot for those who have a love for platform genre games or really anyone who is looking for a genuine fun time! There are tons of references to Sony’s video game history that will make anyone smile! I hope Sony keeps this up!

    I can't believe how great this game is. With everyone giving it perfect scores, I figured I would be disappointed, but it still blew me away. Astro Bot feels like both a love letter to PlayStation fans (new & old), as well as a flat-out amazing 3D platformer that rivals the likes of the 3D Mario games. The ingenuity and creativity of the game is practically unheard of nowadays, and I hope we get more games like this soon.

    The absolutely best platformer I have played until now. Heavily inspired by an Italian plumber, this game is pure unadulterated joy. It's inventive, creative, and fun. It also has a lot of challenge levels that will make you question your sanity. Lastly, the game is a love letter to the PlayStation history that many older gamers like myself will appreciate.

    One of the best games I've ever played. I've been at game playing for awhile, but this game takes the cake. Not only is game play super smooth, but the story is really cute and suitable for my daughter and I to really enjoy gaming together. Be ready for some frustration, laughs, challenges, and a super interactive fun environment. I would recommend this game to any one.

    There is a reason this game won Game of the Year. Graphically, this is the BEST game I’ve ever seen and it’s not even close. What Team Asobi have done here celebrates gaming as a whole, PlayStation as a platform, and rewards exploration to a point where every playthrough becomes a scavenger hunt, and I LOVE that! One of the best games - period. If you love collect-athon games reminiscent of PS1 and PS2, you need to get this game.

    Astro Bot is a delightful and nostalgic platforming experience that masterfully blends classic gameplay elements with modern innovations. It channels the magic of old-school Mario games while bringing its own fresh ideas, creating an adventure that feels both familiar and excitingly new. Gameplay – A Perfect Blend of Classic and Modern Astro Bot captures the essence of traditional 3D platformers, evoking memories of titles like Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Galaxy. The level design is imaginative and varied, offering a mix of precision platforming, exploration, and clever mechanics that keep players engaged. Each stage introduces new ideas whether it’s unique environmental challenges, hidden collectibles, or interactive elements that make full use of the PlayStation hardware. One of the biggest strengths of Astro Bot is its responsive and fluid controls. The character moves with precision, making jumps and platforming segments feel incredibly satisfying. It’s the kind of game that rewards skill, much like Mario’s classic outings, where movement mechanics are tightly refined, and every jump feels deliberate. Nostalgia Done Right Astro Bot is dripping with nostalgia, not just in its gameplay mechanics but also in its world design, music, and charming nods to gaming history. The way it borrows from Mario’s blueprint collecting items, rescuing allies, and facing creative bosses feels like a loving tribute rather than a mere imitation. If you grew up playing classic 3D platformers, this game will take you back to the golden era of gaming, where discovery and fun were at the heart of every level. Even small details, like sound effects and character animations, evoke that sense of wonder found in older platformers. The joy of uncovering hidden secrets, the thrill of jumping between moving platforms, and the challenge of timing your jumps perfectly all bring back the magic that Mario games mastered decades ago. Presentation – A Visual and Auditory Treat Visually, Astro Bot is stunning. The bright, colorful environments are packed with detail, and each level feels distinct, with creative themes that keep things fresh. The character animations are full of personality, making Astro Bot feel alive and expressive in a way that’s reminiscent of classic Nintendo characters. The soundtrack is another highlight. The upbeat and whimsical music reinforces the game’s lighthearted tone, much like the catchy tunes in Mario titles. Every piece of music enhances the experience, creating an immersive world that feels cheerful and adventurous. Conclusion – A Must-Play for Platformer Fans Astro Bot is more than just a fun game it’s a heartfelt tribute to the golden age of platformers while standing tall as a fantastic experience on its own. With tight controls, engaging level design, and a nostalgic charm that echoes classic Mario games, it’s a must-play for anyone who loves the genre. It proves that great platformers aren’t just about nostalgia; they’re about creating magical moments, and Astro Bot delivers them in abundance.

    Thoroughly enjoyed my time playing Astro Bot, as it reminded me of gaming in my youth. You can tell the developers poured a lot of passion into this project, and numerous references to Playstation history was a nice touch. The game looks great and the controls are very responsive, which is a must for a platformer. Can't recommend enough!!
