    Honestly I hadn't had this much fun with a game in a long time. My only complaint is that I wish it was a full blown game and not just 3hrs plus about 1.5hrs of finding collectibles.

    Great tech demo of PS5. Atmosphere, music, Playstation laboratory, gameplay variability are awesome. The game excellent demonstrates all features of the new gamepad. Maybe the only strange thing is that reflections work only for thing near 1 meter from reflecting surface. And also, no RTX used in this game, but PS5 supports it and it's strange.

    Um joguinho simples e gratuito para todos que compraram, ou comprarão um PS5, ele é basicamente uma demonstração das funcionalidades do Dualsense e uma excursão pela história do PlayStation com dezenas de referências a jogos que marcaram história no consoles da Sony

Doing an excellent job to pull you into a memorable experience for the launch of a new generation, this game takes you through a world within your own system fully showing off just how amazing the Dualsense controller is. Along the way you run into hidden characters & iconic titles from the history of Playstation like Crash Bandicoot, Kratos, Sly Cooper, and even Shadow of the Colossus & so many more. You also collect "artifacts" of their products anywhere from consoles to accessories to create your own interactive museum filled with PSPs and PS Move parts. This game feels like the first time Sony has truly embraced their own legacy where every twist and turn is a love letter to Playstation until the very end. When you get a PS5, I highly recommend playing this game before any other. It is truly a way to usher in an exciting new generation for Playstation.… Expand

The game can likely be summed up as a "collectathon-lite" with some platforming elements thrown in for good measure. It is not an immensely difficult or complex game, nor is it very long - however, it is the perfect combination of engrossing as it is accessible. The fact that it comes free with every PS5 makes this a must-play for anyone with the system.

    As a person usually obsessed with playing fantasy action-RPGs and minmaxing characters, I was blown away over the speed in which Astro's Playroom put a smile on my face, and the length of time that it kept that smile going. It is a wonderful video game and an astonishingly competent tech demo, and I cannot recommend it enough - it may be short, but it will absorb you completely for that short time.    … Expand

    Tech demos should not be as good as Astro's Playroom is. Although it is a short adventure, Astro's Playroom hits the mark when it comes to cozy aesthetics and fun platforming. Additionally, the game expertly shows off what the DuelSense controller can do.

    Honestly this game despite being bundled in with the system was the best experience I've gotten on the PS5. From the bubbly and cheerful music to the detailed levels and the cute atmosphere. It's an amazing showcase of both the system's graphics and the controller's potential to future games, I would even go as far as to say it's on par with what Wii Sports did back in 2006.

It's an amazing showcase of both the system's graphics and the controller's potential to future games, I would even go as far as to say it's on par with what Wii Sports did back in 2006. The nostalgia is also very intense with this game since you collect consoles and accessories from all PlayStation's past both successes and failures. It's always a great feeling when you collect them around the different levels and also spotting the neet Easter eggs about all the great games Sony and others have offered to all the consoles. I highly recommend playing this game first it's a an amazing introduction to this PS5 ecosystem even if you also bought other games with your system.… Expand

As a great showcase of the new controller features, it was a smart move by Sony to bundle this in for free - It's got people really talking about the new controller, and I don't think sales would be great if it was at a cost, which may have quietened down talk of the haptics and adaptive triggers if Demon's and Spiderman were the only gamesSolid platformer and great tech demo for the ps5.

    All proportion must be well kept and remember that it is a small free game which offers the introduction of the Playstation 5 and in no case the note must be compared with the more classic production. Extremely fun and beautiful, this game is probably the best thing that happened to the release of the PS5. If you are fond of references, this game will bring you a feeling of great nostalgia.

    Astro's Playroom isn't just an introduction to the PS5, and the DualSense controller. It is also a nod to the great history of PlayStation. But within that, is a great platformer. Good visuals, tight controls, nostalgic sounds with some iconic soundtrack notes. Astros Playroom is a very good game that could have been sold for 19.99. But was free, which makes it even better
