Astro Bot Rescue Mission Reviews
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.
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.

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.

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.

Astro Bot Rescue Mission is one of the best platformers I’ve played this year and is easily the best PSVR game you can get today.
Don't let Astro Bot Rescue Mission pass you by: it's one of the most innovative and downright fun PlayStation VR games you're ever likely to play.
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.
Astro Bot Rescue Mission offers a level of interactivity and polish that has not yet been seen on the PSVR platform. It is quite clear that the game was built specifically for VR, and in so doing was obviously a labour of love for Japan Studio. Quite simply, the game offers the best implementation of PSVR yet seen on the platform. It features solid and refined gameplay and crisp Pixar-Like visuals; all of which are bundled together in a title with so much charm, character and charisma, that it would be a travesty not to experience. Without a doubt, the game is a true PSVR classic.
Undeniably one of PS VR greatest hits, let Japan Studio and ASTRO BOT: RESCUE MISSION bring you on a wondrous galactic adventure you will not forget.
Creative, VR-exclusive gameplay ideas embedded in a sugar-sweet world with sympathetic mini-robots. A feast for Jump & Run fans!

Technical quality, gameplay mechanics, cute characters and interesting ideas shake hands in one of the best games of PS VR library. And not just that: probably is one of the best platform games in VR. It's hard to not surrender to its charm and flawless aside (the fixed camera, for example), it's a very, very enjoyable game.

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 fun platformer that pushes the boundaries of the genre further. Without a doubt, the best PlayStation VR game yet.

Astro Bot Rescue Mission is another reason why you should own a PSVR, and a must play if you already have one.
If you own a PSVR, you need to play this game. Astro Bot breathes excitement in the platforming genre. This is the best game on the PSVR right now.
Astro Bot Rescue Mission is simply, amazing — a pure joy and a wonder that is a must play for all PSVR owners.
Platformers have found a home on PSVR and Astro Bot Rescue Mission is going to drive that point home. Players who are after a traditional 3D platformer that is filled with secrets and impressive worlds to discover, should take the plunge and help this little Astro Bot that could.
To me, Astro Bot: Rescue Mission is platforming at its finest, it's fun, looks fantastic and is challenging enough to keep you coming back for more. I can't recommend Astro Bot highly enough, I just hope this is the start of more quality content for PlayStation VR.
