    Super gutes Spiel, für einen sanften Einstieg auf die neue Konsolengeneration. Bin mit allen Sony Konsolen aufgewachsen, und diese Easter Eggs in dem Game sind einfsch der Hammer. Ich habe bei einigen Sounds Gänsehaut bekommen.

    Amazing game to be the first one played on PS5. It's enjoyable, funny and beautiful. Great showcase of dualsense that let's you discover all new functions of the controller. Every single option and secret gives you a huge satisfaction (personally I loved the idea for collectibles). It's much more than a showcase demo game. My first platinum trophy on PS5

    An amazing display of what is possible with the new Dual Sense controller. If companies follow suit with what this game achieve, the future of the PS5 is bright. I will add, the gameplay and music in this are amazing for a free title. You can also have tons of fun with the time trials, and secrets hidden throughout this world inside the PS5.

    Excellent fun game. It really shows you what the PS5 controller can do, which is absolutely out of this world. Super creative, cute, and adventurous!

    Gioco demo incluso in ogni ps5 dove scopri le feature del nuovo dualsense, gioco stupendo e pieno di ricordi di tutta l'era ps5, decisamente la mascotte di ps5, appena lo provi ti viene un sorrisone :D

    This sort of felt like an interactive museum. Really cool what they've done and a great way to show pride in their past and now present hardware. Makes me feel good about my investment in a ps5.

    Un jeu magnifique qui nous rappelle énormément Mario, Sonic avec sa touche personnelle. Une énorme rétrospective de l'univers PlayStation. Merci pour cette petite larme

    It is a very fun platformer game. It perfectly showcases the PS5 controller new features.

    When I read that this was a free game with the system I assumed it would be fun for about half an hour while other stuff installed then something I'd forget about, I was wrong. I played non-stop for 3-4 hours and still keep going back for more with the time trials. The way they've implemented the controller features is excellent, as are the constant nods to other PlayStation games andWhen I read that this was a free game with the system I assumed it would be fun for about half an hour while other stuff installed then something I'd forget about, I was wrong.

The levels are all enjoyable to play through, a full scale sequel with this much polish would be brilliant.… Expand

    Um prato cheio para donos de PS5. Um jogo lotado de Easter Eggs e muito gostoso se platinar pegando todos os colecionáveis. Pra quem nasceu ali depois dos anos 80 e antes dos anos 2000 e curtiu todas as gerações do PS vai amar esse game! A parte do controle é sensacional. É incrível a precisão do Feedback Háptico.

    I do not understand how it is possible for free basically PS5 test game to be so good. Better than most AAA games which utilizes best new feature from PS5 game pad. When you are on ice you are literally on ice. You have that feeling. Also, the game hits highest nostalgia levels. I hope there will be a sequel.

    Amazing demo for the ps5 and its controller. It really stands out like more than just a demo to me. Visually pleasing and a really nostalgic game design and artifacts. Great game.

    This game made me smile the entire time and the nostalgia hit hard. This is the absolute perfect way to kick off the PS5 gen. To top it off, it comes free with every PS5.

    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.

    Please play this game if you haven't already this game is a masterpiece. Every game developer should want to make their game like Astro's Playroom. After playing this game I do not think I will ever enjoy a game as much as this one right here.

    "Tech demo" is an insult to this gem. This is worthy to be called a game in and of itself. Short but oh so sweet, a good platforming with loads of nostalgic easter eggs. I really hope they make a full blown game with similar mechanics and gameplay. An easy 10/10

    After playing this game I had to sign up to metacritic to give a review. This might be the best game I ever played. The DualSense experience is pretty amazing while playing this game. The music is very uplifting and happy. This is a game we all need in 2020.

    And suddenly I wish Zelda BOTW was playable with DualSense.

    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]
