Customer Ratings & Reviews

An absolute delight to play. We need more games that focus on fun and ingenuity instead of resolution and game length. Astro Bot delivers and then some. A beautiful game with clever level designs, varied gameplay, and a sense of joy throughout. I rarely write a review for anything, but as a lifelong gamer, I want to support this game and developer (Team ASOBI) any way I can.

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.

This is a delightful game, and a real love letter to Playstation's past. This is a 3-D platformer with a strong focus on collectables - most of which are tributes to other Playstation games and franchises associated with Playstation (for example, Metal Gear and Final Fantasy). The addition of free DLC since the game's release has also provided additional content that's extended the game's shelf life. There aren't a lot of quality family-friendly games in Playstation's repertoire, which makes this one shine even more.

I enjoy every second in the game, great level design, great platformer, honor to ps history

this game is very well designed and has a lot of replay ability. There is enough challenge to keep an adult interested and at the same time simple enough for a child to play. It truly feels like a Mario game for ps5 which is welcomed. We need more games like this.

Fantastic game. Diverse game play. Fun. Not difficult. Family friendly. Goofy and silly.

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..

Bought it after it won GOTY to see why it won. This game made me feel like a kid again! Really fun platforming, unique level designs, cute characters, great gameplay overrall. Really fun for any age. Totally deserved to win, it was a great experience.

One of the best games out for the PS5. Yes the game looks stunning but it’s all about the gameplay and it’s loads of fun. The controls are very innovative and the dual sense allows you to feel every surface and takes advantage of motion, sound and pressure sensitive triggers in ways I wish other games would do. A must buy for the PS5.

Very fun! have been having a good time with it. Some of the levels are actually really challenging, which I appreciate !

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!!

Astro Bot getting a standalone title is well deserved. The game play is smooth, and level design is well thought out. Playing this game after experiencing astros playroom has been a great experience and could be a contender for game of the year. The puzzles are challenging and get progressively harder throughout game play.

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.

From the moment you start playing, you're immersed in a world of vibrant colors and stunning visuals that truly showcase the power of the PS5. The art style is both charming and detailed, making every level a joy to explore. The gameplay mechanics are where Astro Bot really shines. The use of the DualSense controller is nothing short of revolutionary. You can feel every step, jump, and interaction with the environment, thanks to the incredible haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. The platforming is smooth and intuitive, with each level offering unique challenges and creative uses of the controller's features. Astro Bot is not just a game; it's an experience that highlights the potential of next-gen gaming. Whether you're a seasoned gamer or new to the platform, this game is a must-play. It's fun, engaging, and a perfect showcase of what the PS5 can do. Highly recommended!

It's been a long time since I've played a game this good. This is one of the best games I've ever played and it's got so many adorable moments and characters. It's super well polished, extremely fun, and the music slaps! Absolutely recommend this game to anyone of all ages and I hope it comes to PC someday - 10/10

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.

I generally am more of a JRPG gamer than a player of platformers. I do play other genres, too, but I figure I should preface with that. Astro Bot amazed me with how fun it can be. And it has tons of nostalgia for people who have played a lot of games on Playstation over the years (in particular I loved seeing the bots based on Symphony of the Night and Ratchet and Clank) It’s fun that can be appreciated by all ages and experience levels, but not without some challenging optional levels to test more experienced gamers!

The most joyful game I’ve played in years. Ultra polished from top to bottom. Especially for Sony fans, tons of fan service. Difficulty is just right with some optional stuff that’s a little tougher. Overall, I loved my time with Astro Bot and looking forward to see what’s next!
