    One of the best games of all time. It is short and there isn't any hardcore gaming going on but it's a fun platformer with great music that is a love letter to all things PlayStation. If you've grown up playing PlayStation, you'll love this game.

    Very fun game which is free for PS5 owners. It is both simple and fun to play. I even made my mom and dad play the game who did not play any video games before. There are so many different maps to play and they are very carefuly designed. There are lots of easter eggs in the game. This game is my first plat. I recommend it to everyone who has PS5.

    Astro's Playroom is a 3D platformer that comes pre-installed on all PlayStation 5 consoles. It’s only a couple of hours long, but as a demonstration of the capabilities of the new Duel Sense controller and a celebration of the history of PlayStation its pretty effective.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Astro's Playroom is the best demo game ever created
    (In my opinion of course), Astro Bot is a game brand that with each game shows the capabilities of each accessory and console that comes out of the brand game, for example the previous game of the brand Astro Bot Rescue Mission that came out on the PlayStation VR platform showed its capabilities and even showed that VR Can be an extraordinary experience. And now Astro's Playroom has arrived on the PlayStation 5 and showed us all the capabilities of the console and the new remote, in the new game you can find robots with camera caps and if we look at what they shoot we can see that they recreate excerpts from PlayStation games from all PlayStation long history. And consoles from PlayStation history.
    In short Astro's Playroom is an extraordinary experience that in my opinion anyone who buys a PlayStation 5 must play the game first or if there is anyone who has not played even though he has a PlayStation 5 must play, the game is an amazing experience not to be missed!!!    … Expand

    A cute, short, and tight platforming experience that impressively shows off the Dual Sense and is a glorious celebration of all things Playstation. Would have kept playing this for 10 more hours if it were longer.

    DualSense入门指南自非浪得虚名。该作充分给我们展示了新手柄强大的震动引擎和力反馈板机，给人一种手柄活了过来的感觉，它能随时随地呼应场景变换。这真的是我第一次觉得手柄上的小音响还挺有用。游戏不长但关卡设计却也能撑得起第一方索尼工作室的名声，绝不是粗制滥造，倒多少有几分马里奥奥德赛的风采。其中最让我感到惊艳的有两关：散热器的沙盒和固态硬盘的小飞船。当然该作也绝非仅仅展现手柄而已，对于光追，3D音效和超高速SSD的拿捏也颇为到位。游戏中随处可见的名作cosplay和历代PS及周边的收集要素无不寓教于乐，让教徒们更加顶礼膜拜，厨力爆表。只可惜我一向雨露均沾。总的来讲作为一款随机附赠的小游戏，它很好的完成了它的历史使命。DualSense入门指南自非浪得虚名。该作充分给我们展示了新手柄强大的震动引擎和力反馈板机，给人一种手柄活了过来的感觉，它能随时随地呼应场景变换。这真的是我第一次觉得手柄上的小音响还挺有用。游戏不长但关卡设计却也能撑得起第一方索尼工作室的名声，绝不是粗制滥造，倒多少有几分马里奥奥德赛的风采。其中最让我感到惊艳的有两关：散热器的沙盒和固态硬盘的小飞船。当然该作也绝非仅仅展现手柄而已，对于光追，3D音效和超高速SSD的拿捏也颇为到位。游戏中随处可见的名作cosplay和历代PS及周边的收集要素无不寓教于乐，让教徒们更加顶礼膜拜，厨力爆表。只可惜我一向雨露均沾。总的来讲作为一款随机附赠的小游戏，它很好的完成了它的历史使命。

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

    A very nice game that works as a demo for the new functions of the DualSense. Crazy haptic feedback & adaptative triggers. It also has a lot built around nostalgia and it's a very easy Platinum trophy to get! It comes pre installed in the PS5 so, it's a must play!

    This is simply a playstaion fanboys dream showcase. The best showcase possible with insane dualsense and adaptive triggers implementation. I would rank this 10/10, but it's simply too short and also it does lack depth, but that is expected for a free showcase game.

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

    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.
