Astro Bot Reviews
From start to finish, from top to bottom, no matter how you look at it, Astro Bot is simply sublime
If someone were to ask me why it is I love video games, I’d immediately tell them to play Astro Bot. No other title in recent memory has done a better job at instilling the sheer wonder only a medium as interactive as this can provide. Much more than a super-loaded sequel with even more creative levels and mechanics, Astro Bot celebrates the entire medium by delivering unbridled joy distilled into a charming 3D platformer. I never cry at games, but one extended sequence based on one specific PlayStation series saw me come extremely close. That sort of magic doesn’t come around very often, but it’s a kind of magic Astro Bot frequently thrives on. Should you enjoy games in any capacity whatsoever, you absolutely owe it to yourself to share in this magic too.
Team ASOBI came out swinging for the fences, expanding on the existing games in the series in every direction. Astro Bot is a delight in every sense of the word. A magnificent tour through Sony PlayStation's history, the franchise – and the Astro Bot character – has enough charm and chops to now launch forward as PlayStation's premier mascot-driven series. Stellar platforming, a mountain of secrets, and a never-ending sense of discovery and adventure, Astro Bot is a new classic. So. Much. Fun.
Astro Bot is simply perfect. One of the best PlayStation games ever made. A 3D platformer that rivals with Nintendo's work. A serious candidate for the Game of the Year award.

In its playful personality and incredibly inventive design, Astro Bot reminds me a lot of Mario Odyssey. It truly does sit alongside the best platformers of all time, providing some moments of pure magic and joy. Considering how smart and unexpected much of Astro Bot is, the possibilities for future adventures are endless.
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 creative, inventive, insanely fun, and a true love letter to the legacy of the PlayStation.
The amount of dedication and passion that’s gone into Astro Bot is obvious in every pixel of every texture; there’s not a single bug, glitch, or texture issue to be seen. Its controls are easy to understand and incredibly tight, with Astro moving exactly how you need him to. In the 15 hours I’ve spent so far in finishing its campaign and going back to replay levels to pick up missing Bots, I’ve not encountered a single moment of frustration. It’s beautifully designed both in its self-contained levels and those dedicated to much-loved, Sony-exclusive franchises.
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.
Engaging from start to finish and full of wonderful touches that take your breath away, Astro Bot is a phenomenal experience that will keep you glued to your screen.
This is more than a 3D platformer. It's a sentimental journey that will allow you to meet many old friends. Astro Bot is a real must have for PlayStation fans.

This perfect platformer package is rounded off by a host of guest appearances from well-known gaming legends and levels inspired by iconic PlayStation games.

Astro Bot takes the great inventive approach of the demo games and takes it to new heights. The result is fantastic and beautifully packaged in a full game with lots of surprises for Playstation fans. The game sounds nice and cheerful and looks fantastic. The game makes full use of all the features of the Playstation 5, game design is of the highest quality and the special powers are fresh and innovative. Astro Bot is a must-have for any Playstation 5 owner and it hasn't been since the Playstation 2 that Playstation has shown Nintendo how to make a 3D platformer.
