Sony finally has its Mascot counter to Mario.
Loved the game from start to finish. Beautiful looking worlds, Fun as HECK! Gameplay with lots of different power ups between worlds. I recommend trying to get all the Puzzles & Bots from each Galaxy. Makes the game a bit longer & funner because it's relatively easy. If you want to get extra bots, chase & run into passing asteroids & those mini levels are HARD AF! They will give you the challenge you're looking for. This game has everything! Some worlds have a secret passage to hidden worlds called the Lost Galaxy. Each Galaxy has about two in two of their planets. Some worlds you would have to do over again to get the missing puzzles and bots that you missed and if you're willing to pay 200 coins and once you restart a level, The little bot bird will help you find the remaining puzzles & bots you missed. The last Boss switches things up BIG TIME from the platforming formula & makes you use all power ups to beat him & turns into a spaceship battle before facing him. This is the Mascot platforming game that PlayStation has needed since Crash Bandicoot. Since Xbox practically owns Crash now, Sony has finally got their mascot with a Mario 64 esq worthy Game in their main catalog now. This game is imaginative, creative, beautiful, fun, challenging when it wants to be, & nostalgic for anybody who has been following PlayStation all the way back from the first console. So many references to other games with bots that look like them and even even a few worlds based on them such as horizon zero Dawn, God of war and uncharted. Making you even use their signature weapons on that level. I can't praise this game enough. It's perfect. Only bad thing I can say that it was not long enough. 20 plus hours & I'm done. I damn near 100 percented the game. I got all the puzzles & only about 20 bots shy of getting all 300. I beat it over the weekend & now I'm just sad that it's now over 😢. Luckily I can always go back and get the remaining bots 😁

So much fum
I have spent hours upon hours playing and replaying this game! Team ASOBI has crafted a masterpiece. The game-play is so simple yet incredibly fun. The game is easy enough for a child yet has challenge levels to test the most experienced plat-former. There is not a bad level in the entire game and the power-ups keep the game fresh. The added bonus time trials and Christmas level are welcome additions, especially since they are free. The graphics and music are stellar. I would give this game a perfect 10.

Lots of Bots
I've been playing this game for some hours now, and I must confirm that it is worth every one of the accolades it has received. In fact, it is even worth buying at full retail price, contrary to my usual practices!Everything here is so utterly charming, with a new delight or surprise around every bend.PlayStation fans will grin at the Bots Astro Bot rescues, including such famous PS stars as Ratchet (and Rivet!), Crash Bandicoot, and Parappa the Rapper, among many others.But most of all, this game plays like buttah! THIS is one platform game that enables steady progress, compared to something like Jedi Survivor, which is plagued with difficulty spikes that make me set the title aside for days if not weeks at a time.Things just work here. And did I mention the bouncy music that will stick in your head?All in all, one of the best games on the PS5!

A love letter to the Gamers and PS legacy.
Astro Bot absolutely deserves all the praise it’s receiving, and I really hope it gains even more attention and higher sales so that Sony takes notice.This game is essentially a celebration of PlayStation’s history, packed with references to so many iconic games that have defined the platform over the years. A lot of levels are inspired by these classic titles, giving it an extra layer of content. For those who’ve followed PlayStation for a long time, it’s a nostalgic experience.While I do wish the game was longer and had more content, I think Team Asobi did a fantastic job. The game is fun, engaging, rewarding, and the challenge levels are just the right amount of difficulty to keep you hooked without feeling repetitive.It’s one of the best 3D platformers I’ve played, and it appeals to both long-time gamers and newcomers. I keep seeing posts from people playing this with their kids, with each family member having their own save file. Very few games manage to achieve this kind of family engagement, aside from maybe Nintendo games, which is a huge win for Astro.Personally, I haven’t had this much fun with a game in a long time. All the positive feedback seems to reflect that most people agree. As someone who doesn’t have as much time for massive open-world games anymore, I appreciated Astro’s manageable length—it’s a game you can finish over a weekend or even in a single long session.Growing up with PlayStation, I found Astro Bot to be a truly enjoyable experience. In fact, it’s only the second game where I’ve chased the Platinum. The Uncharted-inspired level was probably my favorite—it brought back so much nostalgia that it almost got to tears.I didn’t expect the current PlayStation to release something like this in today’s era, but I’m really glad they did. I’ll definitely be supporting more of Team Asobi’s and Astro’s future titles. If you’re on the fence about buying this, or if gaming hasn’t been as enjoyable for you lately, I highly recommend giving Astro Bot a try.I hope this review was helpful, and I hope you enjoyed reading it!

Tons of heart and a total blast!
This was a great game! The mechanics, the attention to detail, and just the sheer amount of heart the devs were able to pack in, was really awesome. I played through with my kids, passing the paddle old-school style, and we all had a blast. Highly recommend.
