    Dans une vie de gamer, on empile les jeux au cours des années. Entre boulimie et passion. Au final, au bout de 30 ans de transpiration collée au pad, il nous reste quoi?:
    Le premier bloc caché dans le Level 1-1 de Super mario Bros,
    le 1er zelda, le 1er contact avec Samus, le 1er quart de tour pour pondre un Hadoken. le 1er tour de piste sur Mute city le 1er départ sur Ridge Racer,    Dans une vie de gamer, on empile les jeux au cours des années.

    la 1ere planéte sur Mario Galaxy
    Finalement, à chaque fois, cette impression qu'on paume ses repères, qu'on ouvre une nouvelle porte, parfois un nouveau monde.

    Astrobot Rescue mission c'est tout cela: Claque visuelle et sonore à chaque instant, design classieux, sensation de grandeur et de vertige, et puis dans tout ça, du game, du vrai. De la plateforme, classique mais jamais redondante, un gameplay calibré aux **** oignons qui emprunte à tous et qui dépoussière le genre tout entier.
    Et puis ce sourire sous son casque Vr, ces Wahouuuu de partout, impossible de résister..

    Ce Astrobot est une bulle enchantée, qui se pose là, entre un Mario 64 et un Galaxy.
    Rien que ça.
    Et rien que pour ça, Merci!    … Expand

    Great Game and a must have. Reminds me of the good old days with the N64 with a VR twist.

    I'm pretty sure Miyamoto is a little jealous of this one. Awesome game and easy to play for long sessions in VR. Great job Studio Japan.

    This is it.
    I've been playing games since Zx Spectrum, moved on to PC and jumped on Sony's bandwagon when Playstation arrived. Meanwhile, I did get a Nintendo Wii for my kids - and since everyone was talking about Super Mario Galaxy (1 and 2), I gave it a try. And I was absolutely stunned. Up until now, even if I'm more of a "great graphics" kind of guy, I still regard Super Mario Galaxy    This is it.

Up until now, even if I'm more of a "great graphics" kind of guy, I still regard Super Mario Galaxy 2 as one of the best videogames ever. Move forward 8 years, put on a PSV helmet and launch Astro Bot. Just wow. A game that justifies VR on its own. One of the best games I have ever played. And just like Super Mario Galaxy (where Astro Bot gets a lot of inspiration), it's all about the gameplay. The fun. The joy. Enough for me to create a Metacritic account just to tell you how thrilled I am to experience this gem. Game of the Year, for me.    … Expand

    Just got PSVR as Xmas gift. Tried a few games. Downloaded the Astro Bot demo to see if I liked it. Around 2 minutes into the demo I knew I was buying the game. An excellent little 3D platformer.

It is a beautiful game and if you are new to VR as I am then I thoroughly recommend it as a first game. Only played the first two worlds so far and loving it. Not too difficult although one or two of the challenges have been tricky. Really hope they have a sequel in the works with more worlds, more collectibles but along the same lines. My favourite PSVR game so far.… Expand

    A true gem of VR! I don't care for platformers much, didn't really like SMO on the Switch. I only got this because it came in my bundle and it's my favourite PSVR game for sure.

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

    This is an absolute must for anyone with PSVR. If it were a standard none VR game it'd still be fun but getting into Astro's world in VR is a game changer.
    The worlds are unique, finding the little bots can be challenging on some levels and they are so damn cute their cries for help really make you feel the need to go back and get them all.

I'm nearing the end of the game and I have never been so sad to see a game end. Luckily these last levels are by far the most amazing in the game and just when you think you've been blown away..Bam! You're blown away again and then world 5-2 comes and you're in awe.I lost sleep last night after 5-2; I was so impressed and couldn't stop thinking about it! Oh and the challenge stages..Pure brilliant hardcore platforming at its absolute finest and most fair! If you die, it's 100% your fault. A truly fun experience of epic proportions and wonderful game and I thank Sony's Japan Studio for giving this to the world! Oh, and the music is amazing too..I mean really amazing! Whole game is a masterpiece of design! I cannot stress how fine of a game this is! A++ 10/10… Expand

    Best PSVR Game yet! I was never so much into Jump 'n' Runs, but after I played this the first time (tried it just because of the high ratings) I was completely blown away. This game is so much fun. It simply puts a smile on your face while playing it. A must have! Not only for VR enthusiasts, but for everyone who likes likes Jump'n'Runs

    Was honestly expecting a mario galaxy knockoff or something going in initally, but after finishing it, I can fully say this game is amazing and takes advantage of the psvr hardware so well. So many specific vr features mixed with smooth gameplay, a banger ost and I can always have a good time playing this game

    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.

    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]

    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.
