    For me this is the best game on the PS5. It was so fun going through it and even had decent re play value. It's a must and always brings a smile to my face.

    So much more than a tech demo. Through ingenious level design and heart-melting charm, it delivers the greatest love letter to video games yet seen. This could be the new standard for platform gaming - a masterpiece.

    Absolutely fantastic game, even better that it came free on the PS5 and showed so many of the fun things they've done with this console.

    The music/sounds are fantastic, it's a pretty easy platinum trophy, and down right just enjoyable to play.

    Is this the beat pack in game ever made?

    Perhaps...

    Competition would surely be Super Mario World (SNES) and Wii Sports (Wii-duh)

    Pros

    Amazing graphics
    Tight Controls
    Charm in bucket loads
    PlayStation euphoria
    Free

    Cons

    Relatively short
    Motion controls take some adjustment

    The perfect introduction to the dualsense and the ps5 in general. This should be everybody's first game on the ps5. In addition, as a game it stands on its own. It saddens me that even high budget and highly praised games don't come even close to this gem.

На столько грамотна, что детишки её просто обожают, а выбивать платину в ней легко и интересно. Много возможностей где, как и с чем взаимодействовать.Игра великолепна в своём исполнении.

    从高中同学那儿了解了现在的游戏机，也在他的帮助下买了第一台PS2。 之后大学买了psp，ps3,nds，过一年买了xbox360，wii，到工作首发美亚入了ps4。 最后陆陆续续的买了3ds,x1s,ns 去年本来熬夜看完了ps发布会，5点半才又去睡，哪知道6点就放货了，熬了两个月，每天3，4点睡，推特一有消息就扑到电脑上去抢，终于在11月抢到一台寄到加拿大亲戚家，可惜寄回来运费太贵。 实在不想便宜黄牛。 12月才在德亚买到了xsx，国行发售后才终于玩上了ps5。 这个游戏让我想到了很多，很多彩蛋让我会心一笑，让我回忆过去。 而当儿子的哭声响起，又让我回到现实。    白金。

    It’s really hard to rate this game because it feels more like an overall experience than a game. With that being said, it shows off the capabilities and mechanics of the PS5 controller very well. As a game it is pretty short, but for what it is on its own merits, it is solid. Definitely replayable.

    Un aspecto que me gustó mucho son los coleccionables: los gachas y piezas de rompecabezas que contienen consolas y periféricos de anterior generación de PlayStation, muy curioso, incluso vi artículos que no conocía y yo que creía que ya había visto todo.

    Otro punto me gustó mucho es la cantidad de referencia de grandes éxitos clásicos y juegos representativos de Playstation, como God War, Crash Bandicoot, Gravity Rush, Uncharted, etc, etc.

    Increíble! Maneja a la perfección todas las posibilidades con el nuevo DualSense. Me encantó.

    Good game, good demo of the Sense controller, with quite some content. But of course, how to succeed to the PSVR Astro game ? Impossible to beat !

    As a launch title for PS5, this is a amazing love letter to PlayStation fans like me, and boy I was impressed with me being a little boy playing Lego games and THIS is what exactly it is.

    For a free-to-play, PS5 pre-installed game, this little game has a surprising amount of content and challenges to do. The PS5 dualsense controls are on full-display here and make for an extremely enjoyable time.

    This would easily be worth the $5-$10 I would be willing to spend on this but the fact that it's free makes it an even better value. The game itself is great with cute characters, great gameplay and mechanics, and fun environments that are designed very well. Finding every little nook and cranny and grabbing every trophy for platinum is the most fun I've ever had with grabbing a platinum. Definitely worth playing with your PS5    … Expand

    A sheer platforming joy, Astro's Playroom would be an amazing game even if it wasn't a free "tech demo" for all PS5 consoles. Great use of the DualSense controller makes for an awe-inspiring experience that I love to let my friends play and have fun with. While brief, the amount of quality content and fun collectibles make this a great title.

    When I got my PS5 not too long ago, I had always wanted to play this game. After about 3 and a half hours and one Platinum Trophy, I love this game for using Astro as the tech demo.

    I enjoyed Astro's Playroom far more than I expected I might. It's so much more than a tech demo; it is an outstanding game in and of itself that is absolutely worth your time.

This is as close as any Sony game I've played comes to capturing the joy of a 3-D Super Mario title, and in some ways it surpasses Nintendo's best platformers. A shame it's so short, but it's free, so who's complaining?… Expand

    dal punto di vista ludico non inventa nulla, è un platform abbastanza basilare con alcuni checkpoint non messi benissimo.
    ma per il resto il titolo fa quello che deve fare, ovvero incominciare a farci vedere tutte le potenzialità de nuovo pad.
    dalla resistenza sui grilletti che ci permetteranno di fare azioni specifiche come aggrapparci ad un muro senza fare troppa pressione per non distruggere la struttura.
    si passa alla vibrazione migliorata, dove sentiremo effettivamente molte cose tra cui i passi del robottino o la pioggia, questo si unisce alla qualità migliorata del altoparlante che trasferirà dei suoni molto migliorati, che renderanno tutte queste sensazioni ancora meglio.
    infine i video che ci aiuteranno a sbloccare i vari trofei, il gioco è disseminato di citazioni dei vari titoli e console che hanno fatto la storia di playstation, e ad esso sono legati anche molti trofei che ci chiederanno di fare determinate azioni, e questo titolo ci fa subito sfruttare questa possibilità non tanto per prendere il trofeo di platino, ma per scoprire tutti i possibili segreti che il gioco nasconde.
    il titolo rimane ovviamente come una sorta di mega demo, quindi risulta limitato in alcuni aspetti come la difficoltà generalmente bassa, ma nel complesso è un titolo che si gioca con grande piacere e che ti fa capire tutte le potenzialità che la next gen potrà offrire

    As a tech demo, I really enjoy this game. It was an amazing journey with all things Sony PlayStation-related. When I tried, I didn't have any expectations, but he gave me an amazing vibe.

    There's no way this game has a 83 metacritic. That's absolutely absurd. This is the definitive PlayStation 5 experience.

    Astro's Playroom is a game that serves as a showcase for the PlayStation 5's capabilities and the new DualSense controller. As a pre-installed game, it offers a fun and nostalgic experience for players of all ages, a solid 10 in my opinion.

    Is it a free tech demo that came pre-installed on the console? Yes, but it’s some of the best fun I have had in years. Outstanding platforming and gameplay. Fun setting and characters. Finished in 2 sittings.

    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]
