Astro Bot

This is the first game I have had an enormous amount of fun playing and discovering everything, and the creative levels and the funny little bots are so cute and adorable. This game feels like the first definitive game for the PS5, Astros playroom was a fun short Miles Morales length game but this is full length game and you can feel all the love and hard work that was put into this, I did not come across 1 single bug or glitch (That shouldn't be something i have to say but with how games come out now i guess that deserves to be mentioned) this is as polished as a classic Nintendo game where it doesn't need a day one patch or anymore updates but the fact Team Asobi is still adding more DLC to this game is great, so far all the speed run levels are still just as fun and thrilling to get a new high score. When I first bought this game I was worried that I had wasted $90 Canadian or that the game wasn't going to be worth it but I was happily proven wrong within the first few minutes of playing it. I don't see this as a "story" game but the one it showed off was cute, funny and great and Astro Bot is one of my favorite PlayStation icons now up there with Kratos, Cole, Jin and Ratchet and clank.

Basically this game is worth the $90 Canadian or the $70 American or whatever I without a doubt recommend this game to anybody who enjoys platformers and wants a fun classic game.

ASTRO BOT (2024) is a really great, exciting and super nostalgic game! This game is a special nostalgic treat, as if especially recommended to those gamers (like me) that grew up on the many great PlayStation products over the years, as well as still enjoying them today. If you've ever played the pre-installed "Astro's Playroom", you may have something of an idea of this game, in terms of style and sensation.

This full Astro Bot game utilizes those previously explored areas and so much more. It takes the player on an new epic experience, with new effects, sensations and worlds to explore. Mechanically, the game uses very smooth, very fluid controls making for a very fast paced and

"JOIN ASTRO IN A BRAND-NEW, SUPERSIZED SPACE ADVENTURE! The PS5® mothership has been wrecked, leaving ASTRO and the bot crew scattered all over the galaxies. Time to ride your trusty Dual Speeder across more than 50 planets full of fun, danger and surprises. On your journey, make the most of ASTRO's new powers and reunite with many iconic heroes from the PlayStation universe!"

Overall, this was a really fun play.

For the longest time, I thought the reason I didn't enjoy video games was because I was getting older. Astro Bot showed me that it was the games that had been terrible in the past few years.

I haven't been this excited about playing and going back to a game since the PS2 era.

Astro Bot is currently my game of the decade. It is as good as everyone says, if not better.

The game is extremely well polished; I haven't seen a single bug so far. The levels are so diverse and engaging.

You can't help smiling multiple times every level. It's a nostalgia-driven thrill of a decade. The game box even has a poster, just like the old times.

When I first read that Astro Bot won Game of the year 2024, I was like: *Yeah right...Sony must've payed the academy a great amount of money for the title. I mean, how can a silly child-game get such a praise?*

Well... After spending a total playtime of around 60 hours in this game, I have to admit I was so wrong in every way. Cause this game is nothing but a masterpiece!!!

Here's why:

Astro Bot is more than just an undeniable original game, it's a clean work of art!

Every level is like one christmas present after another. It's full of breathtaking creativity, incredible variation of gameplay, nostalgia, amazing landscapes, astonishing graphics and last but not least: Astro may be small but without a doubt the biggest and most ADORABLE hero in the universe.

So, to anyone who haven't played this game yet: DO IT!

10/10.

After playing Astro's Playroom it was really cool to see how much Team Asobi expanded on the mechanics of that game with this one. There were more special abilities to use, especially in the end levels of each galaxy.

And there was a ton of physics simulations and particles to go send flying in the air. A lot of stuff was destructible which was cool, and just like in Astros Playroom there was haptic feedback with a lot of things in the game. I really think Team Asobi are masters at haptics because this game was up to the same level of controller feedback as the last one, which I rarely see that level of inclusion in other PS5 games.

There were plenty of levels and each one I think didn't get boring. There were also a lot of levels that had pretty good music. Although the audio mixing could be better on some levels.
