    The perfect introduction to the dualsense and the ps5 in general. This should be everybody's first game on the ps5. In addition, as a game it stands on its own. It saddens me that even high budget and highly praised games don't come even close to this gem.

    Un plataformas sencillo, pero muy divertido que cumple perfectamente con lo que se puede esperar de un juego demo gratuito.

Toda la jugabilidad está basada en las nuevas características del mando Dualsense, siendo el juego que mejor explota esto hasta la fecha. Además, durante los distintos niveles se pueden ir encontrando distintos guiños y easter eggs que hacen referencia a sagas míticas como Resident Evil, God of War, etc, así como mucha nostalgia a través de los coleccionables, los cuales son consolas y periféricos históricos de Sony. Juego muy infravalorado. Cualquiera que se haga con una PS5 debería darle una oportunidad. Duración aproximada: 6 horas.… Expand

    Игра великолепна в своём исполнении. Не смотря на то, что это демонстрационная игра при покупке пятой плойки, но она достаточно грамотна. На столько грамотна, что детишки её просто обожают, а выбивать платину в ней легко и интересно. Много возможностей где, как и с чем взаимодействовать.Игра великолепна в своём исполнении.

    This is an amazing and short platformer and I love it for both those reasons. Ya this is a controller demo and tech showcase, but it’s the best one I’ve ever played.

    I honestly didn't expect much from a game that was only supposed to be a demonstration of the capabilities of a next-gen console. However, it is a very engaging and time killing game.

    This is a lot of fun and really showcases the PS5 and it’s controller. Also it is free. Everyone should give it a go. I’ve only not given it 10/10 because it is a short game and a little too easy.

This is a great title and with all its secrets, it shows us what exclusive games PlayStation has played so far, and gets to know all the characters from different games, and by collecting Sony gaming accessories, our memories in these five generations of the game industry Sony comes alive and is a great mini-game to get acquainted with the DualSense controller… Expand

    Man! This isn’t just a wonderful showcase for the haptic feedback, dualsense and adaptive triggers, it’s a sensational game. My only gripe is the god awful music that just repeats and repeats. And, I wish it was much longer. You can platinum this in under 8 hours. I want a full game of this. It’s repost underrated

    白金。
    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。    白金。

    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.

    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 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.    … Expand

    For a free-to-play, PS5 pre-installed game, this little game has a surprising amount of content and challenges to do. The PS5 dualsense controls are on full-display here and make for an extremely enjoyable time. Both me and my daughter who was watching me had a massive smile on our face throughout the entire playthrough.

    This would easily be worth the $5-$10 I would be willing to spend on this but the fact that it's free makes it an even better value. The game itself is great with cute characters, great gameplay and mechanics, and fun environments that are designed very well.

    A sheer platforming joy, Astro's Playroom would be an amazing game even if it wasn't a free "tech demo" for all PS5 consoles. Great use of the DualSense controller makes for an awe-inspiring experience that I love to let my friends play and have fun with. While brief, the amount of quality content and fun collectibles make this a great title.

    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]
