Oct 7, 2018I've had the PSVR headset since it released back in 2016 and have tried most of the VR games, never had as much fun with a VR game as Astro Bot. It's Amazing what they've accomplished with this game, it takes full advantage of the PSVR and delivers an incredible experience, it's definitely a must buy for any PSVR owner!
-
Oct 7, 2018Where did John get his ridiculous score of 0 from? This game is beautiful and an absolute joy to play. Ignore John - this is a must buy game!
-
Oct 7, 2018This game is a solid 9 out of 10 but this score should cancel out the frankly ridiculous zero score someone left. The graphics are top notch, probably the best yet on PSVR if not any VR game. Definitely a milestone in VR gaming, my only criticisms would be that the levels are a bit too linear and overall the game is a bit too easy.

Oct 6, 2018Absolutely incredible. Makes me feel 30 years younger!! This is the best £25 ive ever spent. This will put a great big smile on your face, i sure hope its poularity leads to added levels in the future. I WANT MORE !!! Well more until red dead 2 releases at least!

Oct 6, 2018This is the game to prove VR is the next step in entertainment. There was that feeling you had when you played the original Mario and super Mario 64. The same feeling of “something new” is here. If you are waiting for vr to take off this and firewall are enough to jump in.

Oct 6, 2018Absolutely superb in every way and showcases how VR can elevate a stale genre. Highly polished and the 40 euro is a bargain, I would have paid 60 for this easy. It's a must play.

Oct 5, 2018One of the most polished and visually stunning PSVR games to be released. An absolute joy to play and highly recommended for young and old. A must have game if you own PlayStation VR.
-
Oct 5, 2018Whimsy, delight, and charm combined with tight platforming controls + VR = an essential for any fan of games. Polished, well designed, brilliantly executed chunk of gaming goodness. Don't hesitate on this one, it is not to be missed.

Oct 5, 2018If there is any Virtual Reality game that deserves 10 out of 10 rating than there it is.
Sony found their own Mario. -

Oct 5, 2018One of the best platform games not only in virtual reality, but in the whole generation. If you complete some of the challenges as you unlock them, the game can last about 10 hours. If you pretend to complete it at 100% (and you will want to do so), raise this amount about 5 more hours. In all that time, you will enjoy as a kid. A must have.

Oct 4, 2018This game is pure joy, I can not stop giggling while playing. First I was thinking this is most for kids, but boy I was wrong. Another game proving how freaking cool VR is.
-
Oct 4, 2018It is one of the best PSVR game this year. The other one can be the firewall zero hour for different type.
This game is a 3D VR platform game. Decent VR image quality and magic level designs. You can imagine a PS's Super mario. -
Oct 4, 2018Game is great, Playing this in PSVR, you wonder why aren't there more games like this? 3RD person VR is clutch. Not that common vomit inducing 1st person style that's tanking the system. In my opinion this could very well be PSVR's #1 game. You don't have to try it before you buy it.. Just buy it.
-
Oct 4, 2018I've been waiting for the developers of Robot Rescue on the PSVR Playroom to release an actual Game of the same nature and ASTRO BOT DELIVERS on that promise!!..... This is absolutely a dream come true for VR platforming and this game show the true capability of VR platform games!!!....simply amazing!!
-
Oct 4, 2018Lovely from start to finish and the game that all PS VR owners should own and delect with. Mario 64 is forever a milestone of 3D platforming but Astro Bot gives similar wow moments with VR. More please!
This for you, John. -
Oct 4, 2018This is legit. I didn't really like the Playroom... but this is just incredible. It's like the next evolution of Mario type games. I am just blown away by this game, even with all of the hype... I didn't know what to expect.
-
Oct 4, 2018The best VR game so far and one of the best platformers of all time now ! if you have PSVR you must play this game ,if not this game is the best reason to buy a headset for sure !

Oct 3, 2018The game absolutely deserves the praise it's getting. It's not hype, it's genuinely the most fun single player VR game I've ever played. If you have a PSVR it's a no brainer. I'm not sure if it's worth buying the headset just for this one game, but if you have the money to do so then jump on it!
-
Oct 3, 20183D platformers will not be the same anymore. This game is incredible. Looks and play amazing on the Pro. Would be great to have more future content as DLC.. Great job Japan Studio
-
Oct 3, 2018a top platform game in VR, using VR immersion to very good effect to help with exploration and interaction. 3rd person games are not what I expect from VR - I want to be the hero, not the cameraman to the hero. So, 1 point taken from an otherwise truly excellent game of pure unabashed platforming joy.
may it help bring the light to many poor flatgamer souls... -
Oct 3, 2018Absolutely fantastic. This game is a masterpiece that will put a big smile on your face from start to finish and even after you removed the headset. Visually breathtaking, easy to pick up and a pure joy to play, it is probably the best VR game to date and everyone should give it a try.
-
Oct 3, 2018My first review on Metacritic. I love this game. My fav PSVR game for sure. I only felt inclinded to post this due to Johndyce's unhelpful review. This is for you John.
-
Oct 2, 2018One of the best VR game, which is not just sitting in a vehicle of standing in room. Gameplay looks like a new Mario franchise but more than Mario.

Oct 2, 2018Superb game. Charming visuals and atmosphere and fantastic usage of the visual capabilities of the Psvr. The general controls don’t add anything to the genre on their own, but the design of puzzles and movement around the 3d environment far surpass what can be done on a flat screen.
-
Oct 2, 2018I actually did not believed that this game is such a masterpiece. It is undoubtedly the Best VR game so far and one of the best platformers in history in general.

Oct 2, 2018ASTRO BOT: RESCUE MISSION
if you have PSVR you must play this game
It truly is VR's Mario64 moment is absolutely incredible -

Oct 2, 2018Finally an innovation in 3D platforming. After playing this I now think so much less of Super Mario Odyssey. This game makes me think of how great Rachet & Clank would be as a VR game. This game is definitely a VR system seller
-
Oct 2, 2018Excellent game (2 hours in) - Allthough i can't find all my little friends, some of them are really hard to spot :)

Oct 2, 2018The game is just awesome. everyone that likes vr like me will have so much fun with this game, i wish xbox exclusives should be made with so much detail and work like this game.
-
Oct 2, 2018I don't normally write reviews but I decided to counteract John's review and his score of 0. It's fine not to like a particular type of genre but why waste your time putting down something almost everyone else seems to be having a good time with? I'm tempted to give his favorite Firewall game a zero except that I actually like that game.
Anyways, John, this perfect 10 is for you. -
Oct 2, 2018This game is phenomenal. I've been looking for a reason to dust off my psvr, and this game is the platformer we needed to continue the trend of vr.
-
Oct 2, 2018This game is a must buy! Best looking game for PSVR, even on the OG. do yourself a favor and join the fun.
-
Oct 2, 2018Absolutely fantastic game, this sets a new standard for all VR titles, and is a triumph among all platformers as well.

Oct 2, 2018This game is absolutely incredible. Having been a lifelong fan of 3D platformers, I could easily see the potential of the short demo (Robot Rescue) that came with PSVR, to have a full game is like a dream come true!
-
Oct 2, 2018The gameplay is very short - around 5 or 6 hours which is a terrible value. This game does nothing new, I don't even understand third person VR and how it brings anything new to the table. If you like quirky characters you might like this. Otherwise I'll be playing Firewall Zero Hour
-
Oct 2, 2018A masterpiece, the best VR game ever! Thank you so much for this game sony, I feel in my childhood again!
-
Oct 2, 2018Jeremy was right. This is the real deal. 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.
-
Oct 2, 2018Simplesmente genial,artistico, imerssivo, divertido, sensacional!!!
Esse é um grande momento pra quem ainda não pegou o VR! Esse game junto com Moss beiram a perfeição! Parabéns a Japan Studios e a sony pelo excelente trabalho! -
Oct 2, 2018An absolute joy to play its does seem like this could be VRs breakout moment as the game would not work as well without it. Game combines the best of Sonic and Mario games past to give PlayStation its best ever platformer. - Absolutely essential for all PSVR owners and if you don't own a PSVR get one to play this!

CD-ActionNov 14, 2019Sony’s in-house studio brought us a really well made platformer. It is also the second (after Moss) mandatory buy for every owner of PS VR. [13/2018, p.79]

Feb 3, 2019Creative, VR-exclusive gameplay ideas embedded in a sugar-sweet world with pleasant mini-robots. A feast for platformer fans.

Dec 20, 2018The first board meeting held for Astro Bot Rescue Mission could have featured a single word written in all caps on a whiteboard: CHARM. It oozes through the game’s pores, but never feels like a cheap or thoughtless cash-grab; this isn’t another me-too half-baked mascot platformer fast-tracked out the door.
