Astro Bot Reviews
Astro Bot is the clear winner of my game of the year title. This game puts fun above all else and does it perfectly. It is a technological marvel that has been thought out and executed with the utmost precision and great passion. It never gets boring and its only drawback is that it leaves you with an appetite for more. The countless references and easter eggs bring a smile that does not disappear for a moment. This is a title that rejoices the heart and improves the mood even after the hardest day.

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.
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.
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.
For what it is, though, Astro Bot is incredible, and that is worth celebrating here and now. I just can’t help walking away from the experience with a bittersweet taste in my mouth and a hope that someday soon, we don’t have to look to gaming’s past for the best bits of it all.
The little Astro has been accompanying PlayStation for several years, but this game serves to give the Japanese company that saga of platforms for all audiences that is placed at the height of other famous franchises such as Super Mario. A work made that overflows with love from the first minute of play to the last and that keeps you smiling all the time.

Astro Bot is the celebration of 30 years of video games on PlayStation, a tribute that does not remain only in nostalgia or the easy wink: there is room for the great sagas and hits, but also for forgotten games, and all are gathered around a great and no less fun platform game, that feels like it will be a classic in a not very distant future.

Just as with Playroom, Astro Bot is a game that absolutely celebrates all things PlayStation, aimed at anyone and everyone who loves this console and the games that have made it what it is. Whether you're an old timer or a young kid with their first console - or better yet, a combination of the two - the are dozens of hours of fun to be mined here. It's a fun, easy-going romp through PlayStation history, and absolutely impossible to play without a smile plastered to your face.
Astro Bot is a charming and cheeky nod to a lot of PlayStation history and a powerful demonstration of PS5 hardware, but more than anything, it's just a ridiculously good game.
Astro Bot doesn't care about such baggage, but if it did you'd probably use your mechanical arms to throw it at a giant robotic ape before smashing in said ape's teeth and propelling yourself into its soon-to-be exploded head. Astro Bot only cares about fun, and I genuinely can't think of a single moment it made me wish something had been handled differently, tweaked to be easier, or expanded upon. It's just perfect.
Astro is back stronger than ever. Team Asobi has created a game that not only celebrates the history of PlayStation, but also the very existence of the fans. Astro Bot is a platformer that, despite always following the same thread, manages to constantly surprise the player and awaken a multitude of different emotions.

Astro Bot is a love letter to video games that sets a new standard in 3D platforming, with ridiculously creative stages and gorgeous visuals.
