Astro Bot Reviews
Astro Bot is frankly superb in its execution, offering delightful worlds, abilities, and charm. Its presentation across its celebration of PlayStation’s history is twofold; one where it honors what came before and the other side of the coin in that it shows how much IP PlayStation has intentionally left behind. Regardless, Astro Bot deserves to be in your collection, not just because of how great it is, but that it hopefully sells well enough to allow other teams at Sony to not follow the same basic third-person over-the-shoulder narrative trend the publisher has been clinging to for years. We need more charm and experimentation from Sony, and this game is hopefully just the start.
Astro Bot is a massive love letter to the 30-year history of PlayStation. With creative and charming ideas, the game is a blast to experience, with many cameos that left me astonished. The technical aspects of the title, such as its DualSense and physics implementations, sit at the top of the market. While there are some underutilized abilities and features, Astro Bot is a great time. This is exactly the type of game PlayStation needs more of: a focused adventure that never wavers from its mission of being fun.
Astro Bot is one of the best games you can experience on PlayStation 5.

All things considered, I’m proud to say that Astro Bot is a 3D platformer every gamer should play, not just for PlayStation fans. This lovable, adorable white and blue bot offers a mixture of fun and engaging platforming gameplay with the PS5 spin and PlayStation nostalgia to please both new and longtime fans in multiple ways. Astro Bot may not have the extensive history nor brand recognition comparable to platformers like Mario… yet.
There are few games that manage to strike the perfect balance between nostalgia and innovation, but Astro Bot pulls it off effortlessly. From the moment you take control of the shiny little robot, you’re thrust into a world that feels both familiar and brand new. It’s a celebration of PlayStation’s past, while pushing the boundaries of what modern platformers can achieve.
Astro Bot is by far the most fun, feel-good game I've ever played on Playstation 5. Not because it's easy, not because it's a snack game, but because it does everything perfectly and never fails to make the player smile. As many have said, Playstation may have finally found its defining mascot.

It's really hard to find any compelling reason for anyone to skip on Astro Bot. Sometimes it's easy to forget how fun video games can actually be, and Team ASOBI did a great job reminding us of that, and all the shared joy this industry can bring.

I don’t remember the last time a video game just made me smile from ear to ear, making me hope it could never end. In fact, this may be Astro Bot‘s biggest issue: it doesn’t last forever. I simply want more of it. Astro Bot is serotonin in digital form.
A stunning 3D platformer in the spirit of the best Nintendo games. It turned out that the success of Astro's Playroom was not an accident - these developers really know how to create such games and why the audience loves them.

Astro Bot is a flawless 3D Platformer that stands among the industry's finest and is an instant classic. Its incredible level of design, boss battles, and mechanics build upon the best platformers that came before, making this title more than just a celebration of PlayStation's past; it is a surefire staple for its future.
Astro Bot is a truly remarkable feat of platforming, and one which puts the wonder back into gaming in a way that very few titles manage.
Astro Bot is a breath of fresh air from PlayStation’s first parties, as it truly encapsulates that old-school feeling, where Sony didn’t have the same formulaic game and took chances on other genres. Team Asobi knocked it out of the park with a game that is just tremendously fun to play.
It’s more than just a big, beautiful celebration of PlayStation gaming over the last 30 years or so, but an absolute triumph of just straight-up, uncompromised, guileless fun in video games in general.
Astro Bot is not only one of the best games I have played this year but one of my most fun video game experiences in recent memory.
Astro Bot is nothing short of a delight. It takes everything that made that small tech demo a hit and builds on its best parts while improving on the shortcomings. There are a few frustrating moments and it isn’t flawless, but there is more than enough to keep you invested from start to finish. PlayStation has finally got a killer mascot on its hands, one that I hope it doesn’t forget about anytime soon. If you’re looking for a fun and cute adventure filled with challenging levels, addictive collectibles, and a plethora of PlayStation references, Astro Bot is the game for you.
MARVELOUS

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.

Astro Bot is one of the best platformers released in over a decade, oozing with content and fun scenarios that should appeal to just about every kind of player there is.
A jubilant little adventure that dedicates itself fully to making an audience happy
