    A perfect tech demo. You’ll catch yourself smiling in wonder as if you’re a child again. I don’t recall any other games making me feel like this. A solid 10/10. Could be an 11/10 if it wasn’t so short.

    This demo made me smile so much to the point my cheeks hurt.
    The characters are lovable, the Easter eggs are a joy, and the whole thing is nostalgic.
    Lastly, the gameplay is inventive and I'm just excited to see how future games will use these mechanics.
    If not, I can only hope they make a whole game out of this.

    This game is a fun, engaging platformer. The only reason that my score is a 7 is because it is so short and, consequently, the mechanics aren’t given enough time to breathe and grow. I hope there is a full version coming out in the future; I guarantee that I will pay full price for it.

    What a lovely start to the PS5 era!
    If you think this is purely a tech demo you’d be wrong, it does show off the magic of the dual sense controller which is the maybe the killer application this gen but it’s much more than this!
    A great little game and the music deserves a nod too and it’s a freebie.
    I loved it.

    A lof of love and thought was put into creating worlds that truly pay homage to the history of the PlayStation brand. You will see AstroBots playing famous PS and non-PS brand characters in the background, which just reminds you of their importance to the history of PS and gaming itself. The sound in this game is also incredible and was a delight to listen to while playing the game.

    Overall, I can't recommend this enough and for any trophy hunters out there, this is a very easy platinum trophy to add to your collection.

But it's more than just a tech demo it's all wrapped in an exceptionally fun platformer. The designers of astrobot rescue mission put in another great shift giving us more open levels than the previous game. The charm is cranked up to eleven as not only is this a great pack in game and a excellently designed platformer it also is a celebration of Playstation history. There are references to playstation everywhere including bot cameos of many famous characters that captivated my attention every time one showed up. The collectibles of the game are old PS consoles and accessories that also brought a smile. If you have any history with playstation there is something in here for you. While the platforming is as excellent as ever there are 4 gimmick game styles that highlight the features of the dual sense. most of these are fun to control and freshens up the gameplay. One of them is a monkey that uses the triggers in a cool innovative way however it is incredibly boring and repetitive for it's brief appearance. The only other negative is how short the game is. 4 levels with 4 subsections along with a boss fight and speedrun levels make up the entire game and it can be completed in 4-5 hours. However when your biggest complaint is that it ends to soon, then you have done something right. Expand

    The game itself isn’t mind blowing, it has its moments, but leaves you right when it starts to feel a bit stale, to go have fun with your new machine, and dream of what could be in all of your favorite games…
    But maybe playing sackboys big adventure on the ps5 first softened the blow tha everyone else experienced as Astros Playroom more so feels like an introduction to that 3d platformer.
    That being said, theres room for 2 on your ps5, and with astros playroom already being there, tis worth picking up and giving a go to!

    Astro has become Playstation's de facto mascot recently, also thanks to the PS VR game Astro Bot: Rescue Mission. Not bad for something that debuted on PS4's Playroom app and was intended to be nothing more than a throwaway tech demo. I hope they make a full game in the future.

    The soundtrack is incredible (I do it for you cuz I'm you're GPU!!) and strangely makes you love the parts in your PS5, the platforming is just as fun as any other, the hits of nostalgia (if you're a PS fan from PS1 days) are strong and constant, and the controller is almost impossible to describe.

    Since I don't believe in 10s, there must be some issue with the game, right? All I can think of, honestly, is its not long enough and I really wish it had multiplayer! If you like video games, and especially are a PS fan, you will love this game. Top 5 most recommended games of 2020.

    A must play for all PS5 owners, as it comes preinstalled with the console. With 3-4h of duration, this is a joy to play. There are many easter eggs and references that draw a smile on my face, and the gameplay varies all the time as well, using the different features of the controller. Outstanding game to kick off the generation.

    I love this game so much. Absolutely rock solid and playable platformer, endlessly enjoyable, lots of secrets to explore, imaginative, humourous and adorable. The music was absolutely banging (turn Jungle GPU up loud) and the PlayStation nostalgia was a wonderful touch. They went to lengths to explain that it was 'just a tech demo' but it's so much more... but also... WHAT a tech demo. TheI love this game so much.

    If you've ever played a previous playstation console, this game serves as a love letter & tribute to those memories.

Not only does this game stand up and perform brilliantly as a 3D platformer, it also does an unbelievable job as a tech demo showcasing exactly what the dualsence haptic feedback controller is capable of. Which is so impressive you really do have to experience this by playing as words can't describe it well enough you simply have to feel it for yourself. 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. The game isn't too long but you could spend hours upon hours playing the speed run sections mastering the courses and getting your times down to best your friends scores in the leaderboards. I couldn't reccomend this game more. 10/10 and it's free, pre installed on every PS5... And that's a great price! Play this game. Expand

    Solid platformer and great tech demo for the ps5. 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.

    As a game, it's a fun little collect-a-thon of about 4 hours to 100%. Really appreciated all the Easter Eggs and references and had a lot of fun. Visually appealing, with a lot of detail in materials and nice lighting. Runs at a constant 4k60fps.

    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.

    A true Next Gen title which showcases the PS5 controllers ability. Buttery smooth with awesome graphics and gameplay. Only downside is that its too short. There's a bit of replay ability to collect all the artefacts but still over too soon. Otherwise a genuine 10/10 game.

    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]
