    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.

    Fantastic video game! Super fun as exciting and, above all, fascinating.
    Kudos to the developers for hunting this pearl in an increasingly barren market. Well done!

    A simply amazing experience in every way. Aa good as any Mario game. I pray they make a PSVR 2 sequel.

    Это явно один из лучших платформеров, который не связан с популярными франшизами, которые я играл, А VR придаёт ему уникальности и непередаваемого погружения!

    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.

After four levels of every world there is a boss. I always look forward to the bosses while finding all the things in the world. I did get stuck in a wall once, but it's okay.… Expand

Exactly the same as Astrobot it would be. I giving 0 because this score is unfair and make consumers to buy a game without really gives anything.

    When I heard that this should be the best VR Game out there I was pretty sceptic. I am not so much into Jump and run and I dont play games that are aimed for a very young audience.

    Astro Bots know how to operate controllers. When I play, I am first surprised by the cute artwork and then I am surprised by the level design using the controller.

    Astro Bot Rescue Mission is an amalgamation of recent Nintendo platform games, such as Super Mario 3D World, Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze, and Splatoon.

Problem is, those games weren't great, they were just average. This rendition is greatly improved by a clever second-person view that I would love to see more of in video games. 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.

    Charming is the word that best describes astro bot. When I saw the design for the first time it looked extremely generic but they managed to convey a lovability personality through this design.

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

    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

    Didn't think that a platform for vr was possible. But this is a great integration of the genre with virtual reality.

    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.
