Pure, joyful escapism doesn't get much better than this.

Astro Bot is the game with which every PlayStation VR owner should release Virtual Reality. Audio-visually gorgeous, playable comfortable and accurate, and with affordable difficulty.

‎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.
