Critic Reviews for Astro Bot
Astro Bot from Team Asobi is a brilliant 3D platformer, one of the best PS5 exclusives, and an absolute joy to play from start to finish.
A very inventive platformer in its own right, Astro Bot is particularly special for anyone with a place in their heart for PlayStation.
Sony's glossy mascot gets an outing filled with imagination and loving craft.
You tend to start writing lines in your head when compiling a review, and one that stuck with me early was to call Astro Bot 'the best platformer since Super Mario Odyssey'. Then I played a little more and started to think 'maybe it's better'.
An excellent 3D platformer, with the best force feedback ever seen (or rather felt) in a video game, even if it's a curiously flawed celebration of 30 years of PlayStation.
Astro Bot doesn't just deliver on the promise and potential displayed in PS5 pack-in demo Astro's Playroom, but soars above and beyond to serve up a near-perfect platformer to rival – and possibly surpass – the best of Super Mario's Mushroom Kingdom romps.
Team Asobi cements itself as an essential PlayStation studio with an imaginative platformer for the ages.
