    Super good, a lot of fun to play and more than just a demo. It may be short (3-6 hours I'd say), but it's still a full game, and the best part is that it's free and already comes preinstalled on the PS5. If you do happen to get hold of one, you should definitely play this.

    Очень красиво и креативно сделанная демонстрация возможностей нового геймпада с элементами платформинга. Понравилось собирать артефакты и вспоминать железки прошлого) А босс-динозавр внезапно даже дал немного прикурить, не ожидал такого, проходил игру налегке. Короче, прикольная демка, советую с ней ознакомится.Очень красиво и креативно сделанная демонстрация возможностей нового геймпада с элементами платформинга.

    Hermoso videojuego, increíble que una demo se disfrute tanto e incluso más que varios juegos completos, si este juego tuviese más niveles fácilmente podría ser un titulo más.

    La jugabilidad es muy sencilla, un plataformero que aprovecha al máximo de las bondades del nuevo Dualsense, que se compone de 4 mundillos fragmentados en etapas y un jefe final. Un aspecto que me gustó mucho

    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.

    Una demo que todo usuario de PS5 debería pasarse sí o sí, incluso diría platinarlo, una corta aventura mientras recorremos y observamos toda la trayectoria de PlayStation.

    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.

    这游戏让我想起了曾经在商场里第一次看到鬼武者2金城武的脸时的那种震撼。
    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。

    The more you play it, the more you forget this a tech demo. This utilizes the DualSense's capabilities perfectly and is a treat to play. After a while, I started playing like a sandbox 3d platformer and looking every corner of these beautiful to find what I was missing. This game truly deserves more credit!

    O controle do ps5 é incrível nesse jogo, todas sensações que ele proporciona são muito boas, o gatilho é uma absurdo, mds, mt bom, trilha sonora viciante, fiquei ouvindo dps no youtube por um bom tempo, lembra muito a diversão que os jogos antigos de plataforma transiam e eram populares, que hoje em dia das grandes só a Nintendo consegue popularizar aí.

    Muito divertido, inovador no controle do play5 e maneiro com as referência e celebração do play5, para ser perfeito, 10/10 faltava só ter mais mecânicas de jogo de plataforma como um Crash, Mario ou Spyro, em fim, espero que façam uma continuação realmente apostando em um jogo de plataforma com todos esses elementos que faltaram aí.

    · Cosas buenas: posiblemente sea la mejor forma de estrenar la PS5, todos los homenajes y guiños que tiene, y el uso del DualSense
    · Cosas malas: por desgracia, es muy corto, me gustaría seguir jugándolo. Gráficamente no es nada de otro mundo, y lo peor de todo: te deja con muchas ganas de más.
    · Conclusión: No hay mucho más para añadir, te lo pasas súper bien jugándolo pero se hace muy corto, aún así, es un "must" para estrenar la consola.

It not only reflects on the past but also does an excellent job of showcasing the future as it takes full advantage of the dualsense’s new features that breathe new life into a game that would otherwise be quite simple on paper.

    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.

    What a great free 'get to know' game! It's a bit childish but I enjoyed playing it. How funny, all these little connotations to old games. The controls mostly are good, but sometimes can be annoying (that monkey and the jumpy thing). Good showcase on whats possible on the PS5. Also longer then I expected it to be.

    Astro’s Playroom is offered as a freebie to all PS5 owners and it is made to show off the features of the DualSense controller. I bought a PS5 with no prior knowledge of the DualSense and I have to admit this is the first time I have gotten super excited about the future of gaming since I first tried VR. I have Astro’s Playroom to thank for that.

I have Astro’s Playroom to thank for that.

    It’s a very short platformer that takes only 2 hours to beat, unless you revisit missions for all the collectibles. Every level takes you to a different generation of PlayStation and introduces different peripherals such as controllers, memory cards etc. Every level focuses on different aspects of the DualSense. It’s hard to describe it, but having played Astro’s Playroom, I can easily call this a game changer and good use of DualSense will be a factor (in addition to graphics and frame rates) when deciding the superior versions of video games.

    It is much more than a tech demo and you should definitely not ignore it because it’s a free game. Astro’s Playroom is Sony’s way of telling gamers “Look we have a revolutionary gaming technology. It’s now up to developers to make good use of it”.

    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.

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

    Astro's Playroom functions as a number of things - an introduction to the DualSense controller's features, a surprisingly strong platformer in its own right, and a digital museum to Sony's gaming history.

    Astro's Playroom functions as a number of things - an introduction to the DualSense controller's features, a surprisingly strong platformer in its own right, and a digital museum to Sony's gaming history.

    It's a wonderfully inventive and playful game that uses the DualSense well. The adaptive triggers, haptic rumble, motion, and the touchpad are all put to good use. The game feels really fresh and exciting as a result.

    There are 4 main worlds to play through, each based on the PS5's internal components. They're each visually interesting and diverse, with excellent attention to detail. The worlds are filled with other bots, many of which act out references to other PlayStation games which is really nice and fun to see. The platforming gameplay is simple and easy to pick up, but there's a lot of variety packed in. Each world has its own vehicle of sorts, each of which is piloted in its own gimmicky but fun and unique way.

    The collectibles are each a piece of PlayStation history that fill the PlayStation Labo room. Getting everything feels worthwhile and the Labo room is a cool celebration and display of every PlayStation generation.

    Astro's Playroom is a neat little pack in game to get you started on PS5. It's somewhat basic but it's got charm and the hunt for all the collectibles is quite rewarding. It's a freebie that clearly had a lot of care put into it, and as such I really enjoyed it.

I was absolutely amazed! The new DualSense controller really surprised me. So many possible vibrations that I was just amazed. The game is something like 3 hours long and features 4 worlds that represent some of the earlier PlayStation games. Each world was something special. The levels don't repeat themselves, so you always feel like you're experiencing something new. In each of these levels you will have an experience that introduces you to the features of the new controller. You'll be doing a lot. Shake, blow, touch the touchpad and so on. I don't even want to spoil it for you. Because discovering and figuring out the controller's functions is the main point of the game. Beyond that though, there are some collectibles in the form of puzzles from PS1 to PS4. For me a cool thing, because since the game is short, at least you can extend it somehow by doing this. What I'd also praise is the graphics, which are just nice and every now and then I felt like I was in some animated movie I'm controlling. I also praise the variety of robots. I enjoyed exploring them in many different ways. Most of them have animations when you hit them. It makes the game feel more alive. To sum up. Astro's Playroom is an amazing game that perfectly demonstrates the new features of the DualSense controller. It's pretty, it's great to play and I almost forgot the music, which I found enjoyable and really nice in parts. The only minus of the game remains maybe its length, although it's a fact that I shouldn't think of it as such, but rather as such a welcome to the PS5 console. The only minus, then, is probably the lack of any story. Otherwise, for me, the best jumping game I've played in years. Only time will tell if the developers will fully exploit the potential of DualSense vibes in new games. The question is whether we even want it. A friend of mine has had a PS5 for a while now and has played a few AAA games, and he said that every now and then the haptic response was getting in the way of his gameplay and making it harder to shoot. It's hard to say then. For some, these new features will be an intensification of the experience, for others a hindrance. Fortunately, if they do, the vibration can be turned off in the console settings, so there's nothing to worry about. I don't know myself how this feature will fare in other games. With Astro's Playroom, the vibration didn't bother me in any way. On the contrary, it was key for me and deepened my gaming experience, and Sony have once again shown that they really can and have pushed the boundaries a little further. Expand

I understand that people are giving 9/10’s but I personally need to remain balanced and also acknowledge that despite it being a nice ‘gift’ from SONY, this game gets boring quite quickly and clearly tells you that this is it for the introduction of the console.

    Sony ha pasado por una transición generacional fuerte con su producto estrella.

En un comienzo, era una competencia directa de Nintendo, e intentó emular parte de sus éxitos con franquicias como Crash, Spyro o Medievil. Pero pronto, descubrió un nicho en la industria con juegos orientados a un público más adoslecente y madura, aprovechando el vacío de poder que dejo SEGA en la industria. Comprar una consola de Sony en la actualidad no es muy recomendado para niños pequeños, a excepción de que este sólo quiera jugar Fortnite y Minecraft. Parece ilógico obserquiarle un PS5 a un niño para que pruebe Demon Souls o Returnal; los juegos maduros y cinemáticos apuntan a otro público, eso creo que todos lo tenemos claro. Pero, Astros es el argumentos para obsequiarle una PS5 a un chico que recién se adentre en el mundo de los videojuegos. De hecho, Zack Boy y Ratched a Clank complementan un combo que nada tiene que envidiarle a una Nintendo Switch con Mario, Zelda, Pokémon y Splatoon. Es la manera perfecta de adentrar, no sólo a niños, sino a un poúblico general en la nueva generación de consolas. Muestra de forma lúdica las bondades del dual senses, pero adolece en un punto clave: mantiene un escaso contenido, que plantea escasos incentivos a su rejugabilidad. Sony saber hacer juegos de plataforma, y Mario tiene competencia en un contexto donde parecía que era el absoluto rey. Esperemos que a futuro Sony se plantee explotar dicho potencial.
    Entonces, ¿Merece Astro’s Playroom una oportunidad? La respuesta es obvio que sí, de hecho lo he elogiado durante toda esta reseña. Su diseño artístico es precioso, sus maecánicas jugables sin intuitivas y sencillas de aprender, pero muy bien implementadas, tiene momentos muy divertidos utilizando las grandes particularidades del nuevo control de Playstation. Sin embargo, Astros no llega más lejos en la lista por presentar un contenido que deja con gusto a poco, como si de una expansión se tratase. Acá no evaluamos el contenido por su precio, de hecho el juego viene instalado de forma gratuita por lo cuál nadie fue estafado, pero se siente como un potencial desaprovechado que podría haber llegado a competir de tú a tú con las sensaciones que nos dejó Mario Oddysey el 2017.

    It's more than just a tech demo, unlike 1 2 Switch. There's also another big difference between Astro's Playroom and 1 2 Switch : Astro's Playroom is totally free. No in-game purchase, already pre-installed on every PS5. You're gonna have a good time with this cool game. I can't wait for the third Astro adventure, which will probably be exclusive to the next generation of PlayStation VR headset.

    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.
