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.

First-party developer Japan Studio shows competence in the use of virtual reality, and even more in the way it takes the DualShock controller at the front of the action. The protagonists, Sony's Bots, are as cute as they come, and the general look and feel make Astro Bot a joy to play. On the otherside, the game does barely offer any kind of challenge at all and more variety in gameplay would have been appreciated by experienced players. However, it is good to see type of productions for virtual reality, which show great potential.

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.

Astro Bot Rescue Mission, like its titular hero, gets the job done. Although the general tone is low key at all times, there's very rarely any lows to speak of. It's polished and responsive, it just plays it safe with its subdued level design, relying on the VR "wow" factor a bit too often.
Astro Bot Rescue Mission is the best example of traditional video game mechanics executed in VR yet, amplifying and broadening 3D platforming to a whole new platform. The fundamentals, while nothing too unique, are consistently strong, allowing for the great VR mechanics and interactions to be built upon them. The wonderful tone and feel of Astro Bot’s levels paired with their thoughtful design makes it a joy throughout. Rescue Mission is directly designed around VR, while being fully featured and very high-quality, making it one of the very best VR games yet and an excellent example of the possibilities of virtual reality.
A generous and thrilling exploration of the wonders of VR.
Astro Bot Rescue Mission is one of the first real gems of this exciting new method of playing called VR.

I don't know whether the lack of conversation about the game is due to the chilled reception of VR in 2018 or too many other big games launching this month. Don't let either distract you from this gem. Astro Bot is a beautiful world and I encourage everybody to visit.
It’s fair to say that few other games have enchanted me this year as much as this platformer.
