    An excellent platformer that works as a showcase to show the capabilities of the Dual Sense controller and the legacy of the PlayStation in the best possible way.

    It may be a tech demo, but it's a REALLY good tech demo. And it was also the first game I platinum trophied.

Now, Onto My Favourite Part… The Emphasis On Speedrunning And Replay-ability. You Will Never Notice All The Greatness This Game Has To Offer The First Time Which Makes It Very Re-playable Even After Multiple Play-throughs (I Have Done 5) And After The First One You Naturally Go A Bit Faster Which Leads Into The Speedrunning Side Of The Game. Now There Is A Dedicated Mode For Speedrunning With Completely Unique Stages But Even The Normal Stages Have Many Speedrunning Possibilities. I Personally Plan On Doing An Any% Speedrun Soon. Now I Will Talk About The Only Problem I Have With It… There’s Not Enough! Ijust Want More And I Would Pay £70 For It If It Was Bigger. In Conclusion: If You Have A PS5, Play This Game And If You Already Have, Do It Again! You Never Know What You Might Find.… Expand

    Good game, good demo of the Sense controller, with quite some content. But of course, how to succeed to the PSVR Astro game ? Impossible to beat !

    As a launch title for PS5, this is a amazing love letter to PlayStation fans like me, and boy I was impressed with me being a little boy playing Lego games and THIS is what exactly it is.

    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.

    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. Finding every little nook and cranny and grabbing every trophy for platinum is the most fun I've ever had with grabbing a platinum. Definitely worth playing with your PS5    … Expand

    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.

    When I got my PS5 not too long ago, I had always wanted to play this game. After about 3 and a half hours and one Platinum Trophy, I love this game for using Astro as the tech demo.

This is as close as any Sony game I've played comes to capturing the joy of a 3-D Super Mario title, and in some ways it surpasses Nintendo's best platformers. A shame it's so short, but it's free, so who's complaining?… Expand

    dal punto di vista ludico non inventa nulla, è un platform abbastanza basilare con alcuni checkpoint non messi benissimo.
    ma per il resto il titolo fa quello che deve fare, ovvero incominciare a farci vedere tutte le potenzialità de nuovo pad.
    dalla resistenza sui grilletti che ci permetteranno di fare azioni specifiche come aggrapparci ad un muro senza fare troppa pressione per non distruggere la struttura.
    si passa alla vibrazione migliorata, dove sentiremo effettivamente molte cose tra cui i passi del robottino o la pioggia, questo si unisce alla qualità migliorata del altoparlante che trasferirà dei suoni molto migliorati, che renderanno tutte queste sensazioni ancora meglio.
    infine i video che ci aiuteranno a sbloccare i vari trofei, il gioco è disseminato di citazioni dei vari titoli e console che hanno fatto la storia di playstation, e ad esso sono legati anche molti trofei che ci chiederanno di fare determinate azioni, e questo titolo ci fa subito sfruttare questa possibilità non tanto per prendere il trofeo di platino, ma per scoprire tutti i possibili segreti che il gioco nasconde.
    il titolo rimane ovviamente come una sorta di mega demo, quindi risulta limitato in alcuni aspetti come la difficoltà generalmente bassa, ma nel complesso è un titolo che si gioca con grande piacere e che ti fa capire tutte le potenzialità che la next gen potrà offrire

    As a tech demo, I really enjoy this game. It was an amazing journey with all things Sony PlayStation-related. When I tried, I didn't have any expectations, but he gave me an amazing vibe.

    There's no way this game has a 83 metacritic. That's absolutely absurd. This is the definitive PlayStation 5 experience.

    Astro's Playroom is a game that serves as a showcase for the PlayStation 5's capabilities and the new DualSense controller. As a pre-installed game, it offers a fun and nostalgic experience for players of all ages, a solid 10 in my opinion.

    Is it a free tech demo that came pre-installed on the console? Yes, but it’s some of the best fun I have had in years. Outstanding platforming and gameplay. Fun setting and characters. Finished in 2 sittings.

    A good tech demo for the PS5. Even if you are familiar with the hardware changes, it's still worth playing, especially if you have been a long time fan of Playstation.

    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]
