If you missed it when it first launched in September, Astro Bot is a charming adventure game that mixes beautifully designed levels with fun platforming gameplay. For anyone who has owned multiple generations of gaming hardware–specifically, PlayStation consoles–Astro Bot is also effortlessly charming as it features hundreds of little bots, many of which are modeled after iconic characters from PlayStation’s history.
“Team Asobi cements itself as an essential PlayStation studio with an imaginative platformer for the ages,” Mark Delaney wrote in GameSpot’s Astro Bot review.
Astro Bot makes incredible use of the PS5’s DualSense Controller, with clever implementation of haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. If you have even the slightest interest in the platformer genre, Astro Bot is a must-play game.
