    Im not aware of any other VR game that excels in all these areas. Yes, there are other good VR games, but they are short. Or long games, but these are ugly with low resolution. Or they are long and looks good, but have akward controls and give motion sickness, etc. Astro Bot is the first AAA VR game, that get whole VR right in all areas and for this erasons feels liek the first propper VR game and not just tech demo or port of a TV game.

    It has been said alraedy, but Astro Bot feels like a completelly new game experience. And for this reasons it is such a blast. It is not such because you are playing awesome game. But you are experiencing and exploring someting new that you never seen and experienced before. That is something that for example RDR2 can not offer (it will be awesome game, but it will play in a way you are very familiar with).    … Expand

    This 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.

I have never seen production values like this outside Nintendo's games before. 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

    Jeremy 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.

    VR does add most of the magic, but even without it, Astro Bot would be a good game. The visual direction is beautiful, the gameplay is simply perfect and adds tons of new unique ideas. The best part is that both, new and old mechanics, work equally well, and with a surprisingly high level of polish. They also implemented mechanics from older games, but they don't seem forced. The whole gameplay formula reminds of 3D Mario games (but with its own identity), and there are subtle 'easter eggs' everywhere...like the formation of the levels, reminiscent from Kid Chameleon.

    The soundtrack is also fantastic. Every single song is memorable.

    The only negative aspect i see is the lack of a harder mode. Once we finish the campaign, it would be cool to have the option to play a more challenging version of each level (no checkpoints, faster moving platforms, tougher enemies, etc.).

    I just hope this game sells as much as it deserves, because after Astro Bot, a sequel would be a day one to me.    … Expand

    First of all, the graphics are truly the best and the pinnacle of PSVR to date. This cartoon art style makes practically object seem blurry. 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.

    Astro Bot: Rescue Mission is a system seller that is a super fun plat former that will make you smile of how awesome a game can be    … Expand

    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.

    One 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.

    It's been years since I've really been interested in cutesy platforming games. I have nothing against them, they just haven't really been my type of game since more realistic games have come about due to improved graphics. The last time I probably really looked forward to a platformer was during the Sega Saturn days with Sonic the Hedgehog.

    But something about the trailers for Astro Bot caught my attention. The trailers showed a game that looks like it was creating new ways to game by using VR. So I bought Astro Bot.

    I can honestly say that not only did the game live up to the trailers, it has surpassed them. Astro Bot creates worlds that allow you to do things that flat gaming simply can't do. The way you interact with the environment simply isn't possible without the use of VR, and the team that created Astro Bot has done some extremely creative things, surpassing some of the great things that have already been done in VR by other games.

    And the love and attention that went into making this game really shines. Astro Bot is a very, very polished game, with superb visuals and gameplay. This is a VR game that should not be missed.    … Expand

    Anyway this isn't just that the level design is astoundinggg and that because of the vr and that 3d depth It uses every single mechanic you can think of and it looks just beautiful while at it. Think Pixar level graphics in 3d but jooollllllllly jooollllly good fun while moderately challenging too. There's level designs that'll take you back to sonic underwater levels but like 50 gazillllllin times better and then a little awesome karting bit too that took me back to megaman x5. It's just incredible the level design I thought I saw it all in the first 3 levels but holy **** did it just keep getting better and better.

    Honestly Astrobot is one of those times you just stand up and salute the creators. Just phenomenal on every level. I played each level on repeat 4 times already. Even after the Plat I want more.

    Exceptional!

    Been a good 20 years since I smiled as much as this over a video game.    … Expand

    Astro Bot is an absolute Master Class study of fun and creative level design in a VR space. I'm not sure it's possible to play this game with out smiling. It's hands down must play and must own!

    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!

    You are in for a treat as this is the best display of VR on PSVR and the best platformer on any headset at the moment.    … Expand

    I rarely had so much fun in a VR game. I really felt the potential of VR with this title, that only a few developers managed to demonstrate in the past. I hope there could be more of this in the future to follow Astro s adventure! Great job, to Sony Japan Studios and the Astro team!

    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.
