ASTRO BOT

A Joyful Showcase of PS5 MagicAstro Bot is an absolute gem—playful, polished, and packed with heart. From the moment the game starts, it’s clear this isn’t just a tech demo—it’s a love letter to PlayStation fans and a brilliant platformer in its own right.The visuals are stunning, with crisp detail and vibrant environments that really show off the PS5’s capabilities. The haptic feedback and adaptive triggers are used beautifully, adding a tactile layer to the gameplay that’s genuinely immersive. Every level is bursting with creativity, and the nods to PlayStation history are a nostalgic treat.Whether you're a seasoned gamer or just exploring what the PS5 can do, Astro Bot delivers pure fun with surprising depth. It’s short but sweet—and honestly, one of the most charming experiences on the console.

I've just got my boy a PS5 and most of us know that the PS5 comes with astrobot playroom preloaded on the console which gives around an hour or 2 of gameplay.My boy absolutely adored the astrobot rescue mission game on PS4 VR as well so wanted to play this game as well.The game has a fantastic blend of gameplay and interaction combined with colourful, graphically gorgeous worlds that make full use of the PS5 dual sense controllers motion control, microphone and adaptive triggers. It's an amazing title to add to your collection and a must have for kids. I have to admit that I also love playing astrobot as I did the PS4 VR version and I'm middle aged lol.It would be interesting to see if this is made into a VR version for the new VR2 and I would also buy a PS4 version whether that's VR or not I would buy another copy for the PS4.Come on developers make this VR for the PS4 and 5 as we loved it.Bit pricey but we purchased this when it was £43.99 during Black Fridays reductions so a bit cheaper.A fantastic game that is worth the money and has masses of replayability.Most of the levels are relatively easy to do although coming up against the end bosses of each level can be challenging. The speed run levels are particularly difficult and I think the developers should really make these easier for kids. I would have liked to have seen a easy, medium and hard level selection so children can have a fighting chance to complete the game but this isn't an option unfortunately.Another huge plus for the game was the additional Xmas bonus level that unlocks when you complete the game (the developers really should have given this to everyone regardless of their completion percentage) which was a timely addition just before Xmas lol. This game has deservedly won the game of the year, it's fun, it's varied and has loads of fun elements from becoming tiny like a mouse to being a large sponge astrobot soaking up water then squeezing out to grow plants for coins or putting out baddy fire characters etc etcI really hope the developers make more astrobot games because they are fantastic games for kids and adults. Please don't forget about the PS4 players either and especially those that own the original playstation VR headset because this would be fantastic in VR.Top game and deservedly the winner of game of the year.

Astro Bot is pure magic from start to finish. The level design is clever, the visuals are stunning, and the DualSense integration is some of the best on PS5—every jump, splash, and gadget feels amazing. It’s packed with personality, playful nostalgia, and creative surprises that constantly made me smile. Whether you're a longtime PlayStation fan or just love great platformers, this is an absolute must-play. A love letter to gaming that's fun for all ages!

Astro Bot is back, and let me tell you, this game is a blast! Right from the start, it's clear this is one of the best uses of the PS5's tech, especially with the DualSense controller. You really feel every movement, jump, and slide, and these sensory stimulations add a lot to the experience.The game itself is a platformer, so think Mario vibes but with its own unique style. It’s colourful, cheerful, and full of charm. The levels are incredibly creative, with lots of hidden secrets and clever designs that make exploring super fun. Plus, the bosses are massive and challenging, but not so hard that you’ll want to rage quit.One of the best parts of Astro Bot is how it celebrates PlayStation’s history. There are loads of little nods to classic games and consoles, which will make any long-time PlayStation fan smile. Even if you’re new to the PS5, this game is easy to get into and just a joy to play.The only downside? It's not super long. But honestly, it's so polished and fun that you'll love every minute of it. Perfect for players of all ages, Astro Bot is one of those games that reminds you why you love video games in the first place. If you’ve got a PS5, this one’s a must-play!

Great fun throughout. Full of surprises. Endlessly inventive and imaginative. You’ll meet cute robot companions along the way that will help you finish the levels. Fantastic value and they keep adding more levels and robots with the updates!

I'll start by saying I was a huge fan of the original that came bundled with the PS5 at launch, and so was eagerly awaiting this sequel which promised to be even bigger and bolder, and it has certainly not disappointed.The variety of gameplay is fun, refreshing, and easy to pick up but every difficult to master, which is a blueprint that any platform game should follow. There's tons of levels to get stuck in, each with their own secrets to find that adds to replay value, and plenty of bonus/time trial levels on top. While the varying difficulty can sometimes get frustrating, it rarely gets boring or competitive. If I had one lament, it is that some 'power's that Astro acquires in the game get a lot more screen time than others, but that me nitpicking really.Last thing I would say, is that my wife isn't a big gaming fan, but absolutely loves this and we really enjoyed taking it in turns trying to beat levels, offering each other handy (and sometimes not so handy!) tips on how to beat a certain level. So if you're not usually into games, or you know someone that isn't, this might just be the game that'll turn their head!
