    Awesome platformer for PSVR maybe The best Platformer on VR. Got this game free with my PSVR Mega Bundle and i played it right away. It was my first PSVR game and it was AMAZING. I am not the biggest fan of platformers but I really enjoyed Astro Bot.

    I rarely put a 10, especially to a VR game. But despite the average sharpness on the PSVR1, this game shows that VR can be terrific even for plateforms, and that gameplay & level design quality is much more important than the resolution of the display or the quality of the lenses on the VR headset. Terrific game, easily one of the best VR game ever.

    Kudos to the developers for hunting this pearl in an increasingly barren market. Well done!

    The best 3D platformer I've played. VR really does add to the experience and make the game the classic it should be remembered as. Worth the price of PSVR alone.

Problem is, while taking ideas away from Splatoon, they could have taken the lives system (maximum of 3, restores every checkpoint). Problem is, this game is just good. It's not GREAT. It's not enough to justify the prices of PSVR on top of what a PS4 or PS5 costs. And make sure it's at least a PS4 Pro, because this is a very advanced game that might crash on something earlier.

    Overall, this will be a fun game when many more people experience it for the first time in 2025 when it runs smoothly enough and prices of the hardware are low enough.    … Expand

    A well crafted VR game that leaves nothing at the door. It is a fun platformer that has been brought into VR. The best way to describe this game is if Mario got a VR game made by Sony. Definitely something to play if you are new to VR. Whilst the controller can be unresponsive at times the rest of the game works extremely well in a fun solo adventure.

The game is a linear 3d platformer in vr and it nails what all 3d platformers must nail control. Astrobot handles like a dream as he jumps hovers and punches enemies. At times your controller is given abilities like spraying water and ninja stars, which reminds me a bit of nintendo land and other early wiiu games. These give the game the variation it needs to keep from going stale. The levels are fun and varied with level themes changing level making no level look or feel the samw as the last. The soundtrack while not having many tracks is realy enjoyable listen to adn you don't get sick of any of the tracks even if you hear them every couple levels. The game also has fun bosses that while being quite easy are a lot of fun to take down. For the completionists there are 8 bots and a chameleon to find in each level. The chameleons unlock challenge levels that will moderately test you but platformer veterans will have no issue. The use of VR in a 3D platformer is inspired and the developers ring most of the potential out of the concept with having you look around corners and from a birds eye view. It's the game I have played VR and is a must play for PSVR owners.… Expand

    There are many good games now that make PSVR worth the investment, but this game by itself makes it worth the purchase. It's a true system seller and more than worthy of all the good reviews it's gotten.

    For those of you old enough to remember the feelings of pure fun and joy you had the first time you played Mario 64 in the 90's, be prepared to have those feelings again!

    If you own a PSVR and dont have this game, buy it now or at least try the demo! There is a free demo available on PSN that let's you play the first 2 levels of world 1 and part of the Boss fight. These levels are fun, but the full game only gets better and more creative!

    If you are on the fence, but interested in VR, now is the time. This is a game for people that love games and will convert all that try it into believers of 3rd person platformers in VR!

All of the little nuanced flourishes in the interface and environment show that there was a ton of love put into the production of the game. Every character is full of life and the soundscape really breathes life into everything.

    If you have some kind of physical handicap, this is not a good game for you, as you will be required to move your whole body around a bit to advance and you have to have pretty good reflexes, too, but there was never a time that I felt the game was unfair. Every enemy action is properly telegraphed, so your reflexes can lead you to victory without memorizing patterns and if you ever do die, don't fret, there are re-spawn points every 30 seconds or so. This game respects my time like no other I have played before.

    As for gameplay, I would describe ASTRO BOT as something like Mario 64 in VR, but like any good VR game, you can't really imagine how immersive it feels until you put the headset on yourself. Do not miss it. I rate it 5 out of 5.    … Expand

    I thought I’d be done looking at VR games for a while, but alas, here we are. After completing games like “SUPERHOT VR” and “Blood & Truth,” I expected that my VR time would merely be spent clocking hours in “Beat Saber” and “MLB Home Run Derby VR” (the latter’s actually rather fun, I might say) until Sony decided to bombshell us with some larger VR announcements. That said, my brotherI thought I’d be done looking at VR games for a while, but alas, here we are. After completing games like “SUPERHOT VR” and “Blood & Truth,” I expected that my VR time would merely be spent clocking hours in “Beat Saber” and “MLB Home Run Derby VR” (the latter’s actually rather fun, I might say) until Sony decided to bombshell us with some larger VR announcements. That said, my brother decided to buy a copy of “Astro Bot: Rescue Mission” after trying out “THE PLAYROOM VR” (a free, glorified tech demo for the game) and he very highly recommended that I give it a whirl. I tried one level in it, but was immersed so much in it that it became a title I absolutely needed to play through. And now that I’ve beaten it, I can say it’s definitely a pretty great VR adventure.
    “Astro Bot: Rescue Mission” advertises itself as a 3D mascot platformer with a VR spin to it, and I can certainly say it looks the part. The visuals are colorful and very sharp (even though the VR can often downgrade those a good bit), the sound design is very strong, with clever sound effects and catchy music, and the game plays as well as your standard 3D platformer would play. What gives the game an edge over said standard 3D platformers, though, is how well it integrates the VR into its play. I worried about how necessary the VR would be to a 3D platformer, especially one that used a regular control, but I can assure you that “Astro Bot: Rescue Mission” feels like it couldn’t have been done without the VR. Having the VR serve as your in-game camera provides a fantastic new twist on the 3D platformer, and the way that the VR plays with things like depth perception is so fantastic and clever (it also doesn’t hurt that there are a ton of “wow factor” moments coming from things like having your head under water, birds randomly flying by you, etc.). And fortunately, while you will be moving around a bit, the movement is minimal enough that this won’t make you as dizzy as, say, “Blood & Truth” will (it also helps that “Astro Bot: Rescue Mission” is easier to play when sitting down, too). There were several points while playing where I felt like “Astro Bot: Rescue Mission” could be to the VR what games like “Super Mario Bros.” was to the platformer genre, and what “Super Mario 64” was to 3D gaming.
    For much of the early game, I had a feeling this could’ve been my first 10/10 rating for a PSVR game, and I felt all ready to crown the game as the best title available on VR. However, I started to find a few problems with the game. To be completely honest, I felt the game honestly could’ve been a bit shorter. I know that might seem bizarre, given that some VR games need to be short so that you don’t make yourself sick wearing the headset, but in the case of “Astro Bot: Rescue Mission,” while the game starts excellently, around the last few worlds, the game sort of crawls its way to the finish. By the end of World 3, the game seemed to have exhausted a good deal of those “wow” moments I mentioned earlier, to the point where the last few worlds just feel a bit lackluster by comparison. Not only that, but by that point, you do start to notice that the level design gets a bit repetitive, and while the levels are beautifully-crafted, they start to feel too same-y by that point.
    Even so, while the last few worlds do take away from the game a tiny bit, “Astro Bot: Rescue Mission” is still a pretty great VR title. It might not be my personal favorite game on the VR (“Beat Saber” and “SUPERHOT VR” are still a good deal ahead of it), but the game definitely expands wonderfully on a tried-and-true formula, providing a game that serves as a pleasant introduction to VR for younger audiences, while a charming and clever enough one for older audiences. As one of the leading exclusive titles for the PlayStation VR, I can see this being a system-seller, and it’s a definitely a game to try if you own Sony’s virtual reality headset.

    Brilliant game!
    The platforming is fun, creative and tight.
    The graphics are clean and crisp! Surprisingly good for what I have come to expect from VR games in general and the performance (framerate) seems like pure perfection in my eyes. I played this on a PS4Pro though so that might be different on the standard, although I heard that it is only the resolution that is lowered. Only    Brilliant game!

    Only "complaints" (small ones) would be that the controller tracking isn't perfect but it is still good enough so that it isn't a big issue in the slightest and generally, the controller tracking isn't the most used feature in the game. You mostly just use the traditional buttons on your DS4.
    Another one is that the scope/ambition of the game isn't that big and the price tag reflects that. For the price, you get more than enough. But as an overall game i would love something with greater ambition.    … Expand

    Astro Bot is as close as you'll get to a perfect representation of what can be done in VR currently.

    It's one of the most fun games I can remember playing, and gave plenty of awe-inspiring moments by making perfect use of the new perspective, whether it is the sheer size of boss enemies feeling like they are towering over you, taking a moment to enjoy the spectacular surroundings, physically using your head to attack enemies or break obstacles, or moving yourself to peer around corners or stand up to look over walls and realising you can find hidden areas this way.

    It can be fluid and almost rhythmic in its' gameplay at times, as you control Astro over platforms and around enemies, while ducking and weaving around obstacles yourself, and it can be quite challenging late in the game. Forgiving checkpoints help with this however and ensure you don't get too frustrated with having to repeat lengthy sections of a difficult stage.

    If you own a PSVR you definitely need to get this game. It's one of those games you will want to show your friends to convince them of the wonders of VR gaming.    … Expand

Everything is vibrant and there are so much little details in animation. Many levels might seem similar in some ways, but there are a lot of levels. Finding all the bots and the challenging levels easily gives replay value.

    Enemies aren't that challenging, and the game is very forgiving when you die, but the linearity of the game does shift the focus from tense and struggles to a more relaxing and enjoyable experience. There are creative ways to use tools, boss fights are decent, and it's just fun to play.

    One of the best if not the best games of VR, fun and somewhat challenging. As for most of the games of its genre, it lacks of a solid story, it is fun anyway and becomes more challenging as you move forward but not as challenging as it should be, that gets solved by the challengues you unlock allong the way so it is suitable for everyone.

    The environments and puzzles are very inventive, and the tricky jumping puzzle nature of platformers is kept to a minimum.

The game shines for this in terms of binding. Maybe the backgrounds of most levels are practically one color, but the levels themselves have a lot of details, are stylistically and coloristically different, and the animations of both robots and enemies are at the highest level. Because fighting with huge bosses makes an impression as big as the bosses themselves, because in comparison to our protagonist, they are really great. It is a pity that music, despite the fact that it fits quite well, repeats in many levels. Astro Bot is the forerunner of Sony goggles. With its pampered presentation, the honey gameplay, or enough for about 8h campaign (and you can even extend it by doing much more difficult challenges), Astro Bot can not be omitted by any PSVR holder, if you are not allergic to platformers.

    As a 43 year old jaded gamer, who is tired of the same old dark ultra realistic first person shooter games that have flooded the market, this 10 out of 10 platform gem resurrected my inner child and warmed its way into my heart as my personal favorite of all time.

The total immersion of VR cannot be conveyed in words, but suffice it to say that the polish, attention to detail, scale, color palette, rendering, and overall gameplay in VR is an experience which not only set the bar for ALL VR experiences, but redefined next gen gaming and the future of the metaverse. I believe this game FINALLY proved the power and value of joyful and beautiful escapism in VR. Gaming doesn't have to be only for 16 to 40 year old wannabe sociopaths mowing down fields of bodies. Make fun gaming experiences that take us away from the horrors of the world. No matter what games you like to play though you owe it to yourself to drop $40 and get this game ASAP!… Expand

    I can't even put my joy in words. This game makes me feel like an 8 year old again! Sony is doing incredible things in this game, covering new grounds for gaming as a whole. This is an absolute system seller for PSVR! Do yourself a favour and buy a PSVR if you don't own one already.

    I absolutely love this game!!! it is seriously like a super mario game in virtual reality. the environments are beautiful, the characters are fun, it is just a great time being in this VR world and rescuing the little bots...hands down my favorite VR game to date. I have not finished the whole game, but I sense it is not super long as there appears to be only 5 worlds, that being saidI absolutely love this game!!! it is seriously like a super mario game in virtual reality. the environments are beautiful, the characters are fun, it is just a great time being in this VR world and rescuing the little bots...hands down my favorite VR game to date.

Buy this game and enjoy!!!… Expand

    The more I play the later levels from world 2,3,4,5 are getting much better!
    This is the best platform games I've ever played. So much joy and smile!
    Some mechanics are really VR exclusive. It is the benchmark for how to design a great VR game.
    And the music are soooooo good!
    I really love 2-2 and 3-3 and 5-2! And all the boss fights!

    This is the most fun I have had with a Platformer since I played Super Mario World for the first time Decades ago. This genre that has become some what stale and repetitive over the year is reinvigorated with VR tech which adds new way to play and adds an amazing level of immersion by placing you in these amazing beautiful worlds.

    Hands down the best PSVR, no, best VR game of all time. This game shows what VR can offer in the truest sense. You can only play this on VR. The only flaw about this game is that you will not like it if you hate platformers.

    Sony’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]

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

    The 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.
