Astro Bot Rescue Mission feels like a greatest hits of platformers from a bygone era. The stunning implementation of PSVR truly elevates the game to a magical place. I really can't overstate just how much you need to play it for yourself.
Astro Bot would stand tall as a platformer on its own, but it genuinely uses virtual reality to elevate it beyond that. Delightful and joyous, It's one of the best VR games to date, and an essential part of every PSVR library.
Astro Bot is a for VR platforming instant classic. In some ways, it is to virtual reality what Mario 64 was to 3D, as it uses a new technology to push new boundaries in the genre. We would have loved for it to last a bit longer though !

Was Astro Bot Rescue Mission on your radar? No? Me neither, but you ought to put it on there right away. This is arguably PSVR's biggest must-have game experience and a phenomenally good VR platform game.
It's hard to say if the old concept of 'killer application' still makes sense in 2018, but in any case do not miss this wondrous space Odyssey: if you already own PlayStation VR absolutely play this memorable platformer, and if you don't... here's a solid reason to get

Astro Bot Rescue Mission neatly unfolds platforming's trick and tropes with immunity from the traditional hazards of virtual reality. Immersed in Astro Bot's kinetic charm and engaged by its clever novelties, you're left admiring the medium's strengths rather than cursing its limitations. Astro Bot is a treasure for PlayStation VR enthusiasts.
Priced at a lower entry point than most retail releases, Astro Bot: Rescue Mission is a must play for owners of the PlayStation VR headset, even for those who may not necessarily have a fondness for platformers or are turned off by the cute, cartoon-like aesthetics of the game.
Considered as part of the Playstation VR title park, Astro Bot: Rescue Mission is undoubtedly among the best productions designed for the Sony peripheral; thanks to the creativity of the developers, who were able to make full use of the possibilities offered by the headset. Considered as a platformer, however, the game shows the side of numerous weaknesses, above all an excessive linearity of the levels and an almost non-existent level of challenge throughout the duration of the main adventure.

Moss previously showed players that PSVR experiences didn't have to necessarily be first person only and Astro Bot Rescue Mission exemplifies this mentality, taking things one step further than the more diorama-esque levels of the aforementioned title by placing players directly inside the levels themselves.
A charming hero in a fantastic platformer, which for at least 5 hours will provide you with the highest quality gameplay and change the perception of the genre. The title is mandatory for every PS VR owner.

At the end of the day, Astro Bot Rescue Mission is an incredibly fun platformer that plays great and is even greater in VR. While not consistently mind-blowing, it often surprised me by its inventive level design and VR implementation, making it easily the title to own if you want a quality experience that is as innocent as it is fun to play.
Astro Bot: Rescue Mission is not just a good VR game. It is a really good platformer.

Though the play room is where it's at its most pure, that sense of playfulness runs through the entirety of Astro Bot: Rescue Mission, from its creative level design and innovative use of VR to its cute characters, awe-inspiring environments, and subtle dose of black humour. Pure, joyful escapism doesn't get much better than this.
One of the greatest virtual-reality experience ever made for PlayStation VR. Astro Bot Rescue Mission is a simple yet fun adventure that will make the player part of the gameplay, allowing anyone interested in VR games to enjoy some great ideas by talented developers from Sony Japan Studio.

When it comes to either VR games or 3D platformers, you can't do much better than Astro Bot: Rescue Mission.
Astro Bot: Rescue Mission is an immersive masterpiece and an absolute must play for anyone that has a PSVR headset. It’s the best use of the PSVR hardware so far and I hope future VR developers realise how great 3rd person focused adventures like this and Moss are. It was an absolute joy to play through and as I mentioned in the review I had a smile on my face for the majority of the 8 hours it took me to beat the game. I can’t wait to experience a VR experience that overtakes this as best VR game but until then I’m going to remember my adventure with Astro quite fondly.
ASTRO BOT Rescue Mission is a success of colors and genuineness, a platformer that manages to give a few hours of healthy fun and lightheartedness to adults and children; the excellent artistic design, together with the technical sector, gives a touch of personality to the title of Japan Studio, which, despite being a thread too short and linear, chooses to avoid complex mechanics, focusing instead on bringing that fantasy and that playful spirit so dear to the genre even in virtual reality, offering PS VR owners a fun and always accessible game.

Don't be fooled by its childish name and seemingly simple presentation: Astro Bot Rescue Mission is by far the best game you can buy for PlayStation VR right now. The game looks beautifully colorful, is packed with memorable VR moments, and with the bots has perhaps the most adorable figures in the history of the game industry in the house. The first real PSVR killer has arrived, folks!
