Astro Bot is a dream for platformer fans and should be played by anyone with a PS5. It won't convert dislikers of the genre, but it does everything right, is incredibly fun, looks great and couldn't celebrate 30 years of PlayStation any better

ASTRO BOT can never be accused of being a tech demo, unlike its predecessor, as many of the ideas previously toyed with in Playroom are now fully fleshed out and in a way that feels just as much a love letter as it does a defiant creative statement in PlayStation's library. Whatever the future holds for this charismatic little robot, it is safe to say that ASTRO BOT is firmly planted as this historic company's new face.

I'm not just saying Astrobot is a great game because it's fun as a platformer, or because it's full of PlayStation nostalgia. The real reason lies in how every element of the game is focused on delivering the 'pure joy of gaming'. Every aspect points in this direction, making it stand out as a truly remarkable experience.

Astro Bot, Team Asobi's platformer, reaffirms what was seen in Astro's Playroom, reaching excellence and positioning itself at the top of the genre as one of the best games of the year. Team Asobi's work offers an exquisite gameplay and takes care of every single aspect that makes it up. This is not a good attempt or a great contender for the crown. On the contrary, we are talking about one of the best platformers of the last 10 years.

Quite simply, Astro Bot is a more complete experience than its predecessor, featuring all the key elements that made the franchise such a success. The developers at Team Asobi have come up with their biggest project to date, leaving us wanting more and more. Even after I'd finished the game 100%, I still wanted to play levels over and over again. Progression is addictive, and the art direction pays homage to the world of video games. Leaving aside the few problems of inaccuracy due to the genre, for me, the title is already a benchmark for 3D platform games!

Using Astro’s Playroom as a template, Team Asobi delivered a bigger and better 3D platformer with Astro Bot. This latest series entry features creative levels and mechanics that are a joy to play. And while it’s accessible to players of all skill levels, it has enough challenges to satisfy platforming experts. To top it all off, it’s an excellent tribute to PlayStation’s various iconic and lesser-known characters. Even if Astro Bot doesn’t seem like the type of game that you’d play, it’s very much worth playing given the sheer fun that you can have with its creative platforming gameplay. As such, Astro Bot has the makings of PlayStation’s next big franchise.
