    A beautiful homage to PlayStation packed with a ton of nostalgia. The DualSense will leave you speechless.

    Really enjoyed what I could only describe as a "tech demo" platformer game, packed with lots of playstation easter eggs, amazing dualsense feedback, and a cute little robot that might as well be the new playstation mascot! I only wished it had a coop game mode, or a full stand alone game, for a free and pre-installed game it is a must play!

    Fantastic little game. I've moved to ps5 with some games in the middle of my first walkthrough and got completely trapped in it. Watch dogs and borderlands have to wait.

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

    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

    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.

    This was such an amazing experience demonstrating the new controller. I really hope that a lot of games in the future will utilize the new feature the way that this game did.

    Le tengo q dar un 10. Xq es algo nuevo en sensaciones y tacto por decirlo de alguna manera por las funciones que trae el mando haptico. Las vibraciones en el mando se notan por cada superficie que pisas, los gatillos al manejar naves, monos y el robot “muellito” me parece algo increible. Encima es gratis. Y el juego es super dibertido. Gracias.

    Muy buen juego que viene ya preinstalado en PS5, exprime al máximo el mando dualsense. Todo el juego es pura nostalgia recorriendo todas las generaciones de PlayStation y muchos guiños a sus juegos, sinceramente increíble.

    The game is quite short with around 4-5hrs and gets a bit repetitive over time but for being free and created with much love it is a perfect entry point for the new generation.

    I consider this game a perfect one for youngster and old ones. It is just very wholesome and I bet 99% will enjoy their time with this game. Just be aware of that the constant effects on controller side will wear the battery down rather fast. Dont let yourself confused this is no comparison to the standard usage of other games and cannot be compared.

    Enjoy next-gen on the PS5, dont miss out this free game.

    A beautiful game that pays homage to the Sony Playstation brand. It makes superb use of the new Dual Sense Controller shipped with the PS5. It's an awesome game with great replay value and above all, it's completely free and included with the new PS5!

    It also has some really nice and fun easter eggs!

    Probably the best tech demo ever created, though it would probably be better described as a digital love letter to playstation fans, and very thoughtful and well written one at that. The platforming, soundtrack, level design, atmosphere, haptic feedback are phenomenal. The combat leaves a bit to be desired, but is still responsive and satisfying.

    The game is the perfect magical trip around the years of playstation, since 1994. The game is funny, full of references and show us a lot about what dual sense is capable of! Simply perfect for a pre installed 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]
