    It’s rare to play a game with such a clear sense of purpose. Its designers — Sony’s prestige Japan Studios team — want simply to delight you. Each level is a fountain of new toys, gags and ideas. Astro Bot Rescue Mission is a platformer keenly aware of the platform it’s on. [Polygon Recommends]

    A perfect example of how VR can be used in ways that go outside of the typical trappings of the medium and enhance regular gameplay. With its charming characters, expansive levels, and immersive tricks, it should be viewed as the new standard for platforming games in VR.

It truly is VR's Mario64 moment. It's just unfortunate that it's a lovely 3D platformer, as people get all bent out of shape when they don't understand what that means. It's not comparing it to Mario 64, but instead that game's impact on gaming and its particular genre. This really is a watershed moment in VR.… Full Review »
