    Это превосходная игра, в которой в полной мере используются преимущества DualSense (вы чувствуете каждую каплю дождя), и это определенно лучший платформер в который я играл.

    I really don’t think Sony realise how great AstroBot is. It is simply flawless, imaginative, polished and perfect. They really need to make more of these, immersive for kids and adults alike. I’d give it 11 if I could.

    Basically the Playstation Mario to show off the DualSense... Mate, this game is insane and an incredible pleasure to your hands. A bit short, but lot's of replayability and accessible for all players young and old. Also features speedrun courses vs the world, in which you can sink hours to master the course.

Pra quem nasceu ali depois dos anos 80 e antes dos anos 2000 e curtiu todas as gerações do PS vai amar esse game! A parte do controle é sensacional. É incrível a precisão do Feedback Háptico.

Astro's is a great platformer game, it is a great introduction to the controller and a great way to pay homage to the old and welcome the new. The haptics feedback and adaptive triggers, paired with controller sound and game design work really well. There is something happening at all times and even though some might say it's too much, I think it is intentionally designed that way. You get a good enough time to get used to your new controller and get a taste of what to expect from the rest of the console features. Fast load times make going for the platinum a great experience and the few hints are good enough to keep you collecting stuff until the last few trophies that might require some online guide help.
    By the time you have finished the game, you will feel at home with how the new controller work and thus use and implementation in other games will feel less than a novelty and more like a welcomed addition to your gaming experience, and that is great. You'll be less distracted by how things work and will be able to concentrate on just enjoying the experience.
    Not a 10 as it is not a legendary masterpiece, but it does the job it set out to do extremely well and it is a must play for all new console owners. And the speed run challenges are great and might keep you coming back for a few minutes/hours at a time to grab back your #1 place among your friends.    … Expand

There is so many little moments where you see little bots recreating scenes from your favourite games. As I have been playing all generations of playstation consoles this was a lot of nostalgia. I haven't seen anyone playing this game without a big old smile on their faces. It's absolutely brilliant. It's a fun platinum trophy to get.

    • Very good story as you get to go through PlayStation's history
    • Gameplay is very fun and enjoyable
    • Great use of the Haptic Feedback and the Adaptive Triggers
    • Easy Platinum for Trophy Hunters

    • Relatively short

    Un juego de plataformas realmente currado , en el que te permite probar las nuevas funciones del dualsense en condiciones. Cabe destacar también la originalidad del mismo, el cual te permite explorar todas las generaciones de PlayStation y recordar viejos momentos , utilizando objetos de forma más interactiva, un buen juego sin duda para empezar a jugar a la PS5

    It was my first PS5 game, as it was a free showcase of the new Dualsense. And it was great. I didn't expect the PS5 controller to be that good. My jaw dropped.

    Perfect game to start with, teaches how to use the DualSense controller. Very intuitive, even for a 3 year old to play as his first game ever and easy enough to finish.

    Astro`s Playromm ist ein extrem gutes Spiel, es setzt den Dualsense Controller richtig gut in Szene, spielerisch macht es mega Spaß und auch die Grafik ist wirklich sehr gut.

    I don't care if this is a tech demo: This is my favorite PS5 exclusive right now. It is such a perfect game to have right when you boot up the console.

It is such a perfect game to have right when you boot up the console. It is an actual 3D platformer filled with dozens of PlayStation references and showing off why buying a PS5 was a good idea, both to new players (like me) with the fast loading times and the Dual Sense controller and the OG PlayStation players both with the capabilities of the system AND with a crap ton of references. Every world is based after a part of the PS5 and the very end of every world represents a PlayStation console in some way. Let's say: at the end of Cooling Springs you are in a small area in which the skybox is the PS3 menu. Also spoilers I guess: the final boss is the tech demo from the PS1 that then turns into a green dinosaur. That is mind-blowing. It is too perfect. Like I just said, I wasn't a PlayStation fan before, but I have to appreciate all of the references, both trough game cameos and artifacts. This isn't a very long and difficult game, it will take you 5 hours at most to get the Platinum Trophy, but this is a goddamn techdemo. Even what we have here: 4 worlds and a final bossfight, tons of references, tons of collectables and all of the other trophies. This is an incredible game. Nintendo made us pay 50$ for a crappy joycon tech demo that you would have fun with for about 30 minutes, Meanwhile, Sony gave us an amazing 3D platformer for free and they put a lot of effort and love into it. I hope Astro gets more actual triple A titles in the future. God bless Sony and Team Asobi for bringing us this masterpiece… Expand

    I'm a sucker for a great 3D platformer. If only this game was a full blown game and not a tech demo. i liked this so much it was hard to play sackboy after which is also a great game. But this was just so good that it outdid sackboy and imo kinda sabotaged it by accident lol

    Astro is something extraordinary. I wouldn't analyze it for the game it is, but for what they wanted to show you it gets full marks.
    Amazing how Dual Sense is exploited and for all the secrets for playstation fans. Absolutely to try.

    I expected just a short demo of dualsense, and i ended up smiling the entire game. This game is a masterpiece, even just being a "tech demo". It feels like a crime to get this game absolutely free!

    This game oozes passion and love, passion for a simpler time of gameplay first fun and a love for Playstation History. It's a 5 hour free love letter to the PlayStation fans. Its criminal that some 'critics' scored it a 7/10. This is a solid game and should not be missed.

    With all around fantastic gameplay, graphics, design, and just overall fun, I’d argue that under different circumstances, this could have even been considered a game of the year contender. I never realized just how much the Sony PlayStation had influenced my life until I played this game.

    Astro’s Playroom is way more than just a technological demo. It’s probably the best way to introduce players to the new DualSense controller. And it comes free with PlayStation 5. [Issue#308]
