Metacritic score gone from 93 to 94. Can it go to 95? True GOTY contender. Sony delivered the biggest fail with Concord and great success with Astro Bot.
@@OrehBelich92mechanically it was pretty serviceable but dude the art direction was so abysmal. pretty embarrassing, but looking forward to astro tomorrow!
Support the game.. we need to start speaking with our wallet and let these money hungry business folks ruining the industry, what we want. Make a great game with passion first and foremost and we will support. This game needs to be supported close to the support mario gets on Nintendo.
Its a good thing this game was created because something was needed to cancel out the concord fiasco. Now bring back killZone, resistance, twisted metal, and infamous!!!
I'm really glad Playstation got a true mascot worthy ebough to compete with Mario, at least in terms of game quality and representation of its eco systems using the controller, visual, and audio To infinity and analogs!
@ritchie.janssen Says you. Reviewers and folks that played it says otherwise. it's OK. I'm not here to aid you more than to tell you to cry more. Then, perhaps you can cope.
I have never cared for dual sense motion. But wow I was smiling and having so much fun using it in this game. Makes me even more upset that we will never see a Gravity Rush 3.
Also I’m so sick of all these cinematic games. Gray and lifeless. I don’t care if I can see the pores on a characters face. I feel we’ve reached a point where they’re starting to blend together.
It’s the platformer we deserve and it’s also what gaming needed. Back to basics, fun gameplay with responsive controls. Soundtrack and sound design are fantastic with the graphical power and SSD used well. I’m an older gamer(mid 40’s) and this is up there with the best platformers like Mario.
So happy I pre-ordered this game. Look forward to playing it and many videos about it. Astro’s Playroom had the best haptic feedback I ever played with for PS5. Look forward to this one.
Xbox owner here (haven’t owned a PS since the PS2)… Jus tried this at my buddy’s house yesterday… And it’s a legit amazing 3D platformer!! Can easily win GOTY… Well done Sony!!!
It is super impressive technically IMO. The graphics is outstanding, it's not just pretty colors, this is up tp date. And butter smooth 60fps. Not to mention, it looks fun
Game is by far the best most enjoyable one of the year to me. My only wish is that you could make astro look like any one of the characters you rescue. Then it would really be the most playstation nostalgia game ever.
I was initially disappointed in the core move set...but the level specific abilities and variety of gameplay in general have hooked me. Just finished the first galaxy fully and I'm having a blast.
AstroBot was really fun. Definitely falls short of GOTY for me though. Took 24 hours to platinum it and basically run out of content. Rebirth, on the other hand, is also absolutely fantastic(er) and I'm pushing 260+ hours. That's a lot of bang for your buck.
Not a surprise at all that its good. Anyone who played Astrobot VR knew that this would happen if they made a full game. Cause Astrobot VR was the shit.
As an Xbox player; I'm a bit jealous. It would be cool if Xbox did something like this. Having a game that references all their IPs would be quite cool.
For several years now I only buy on release (or dare pre-order) 2 games per year tops, everything else I buy is always on Sale, usually -50% at least. But this game got my 1st full price spot this year; might be the only one, but Oct-Nov usually have a ton of games coming out, so I'll have to wait a bit longer.
This looks like a fun game and is getting great review scores. However, looking at overall package i think Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is more deserving of goty at this moment. But i wouldn't be surprised if indeed Astro Bot gets it
@@stijnvonck1431 Wukong should win but since it's a Chinese game I doubt it, other than BMW, Astro should take the prize. Final fantasy imo is extremely repetitive and since it's a remake makes it harder
@@Penguino19 Rebirth doesn't feel like a remake to me and it's the game with most side content and extra's. I'd be fine with Astro bot winning. Wukong is not for me, it's all been done before and better. But all personal preference
So in the beginning you mention Astro Bot's PSVR Rescue mission, the first full game of Astro Bot. But on the end, you seem to forget about that and say that it sends into the company of great platforming mascots with just one full game. But we arleady established this is the 2nd full game of Astro Bot. Yes, PSVR's Astro Bot is a full game.
eh, one man's 9 is another man's 10. I have also heard the base game is a bit short, so that could be considered a point off as well, especially when Mario games offer the same quality for 20 hours, excluding completion and gauntlet stages. It seems unanimous across reviews that the design and gameplay is flawless, which is what matters.
Reallly having a blast with this game! Also on sale atm. How ever... I'm kinda baffled that you can't even adjust comera sensitivty at all. The camera movement is slow, I mean very slow. It's not even an option. How they missed that? Also, the music and SFX is static. You can't even adjust that sound level.Anyway, the game is great and I missed a game like this on my PlayStation.
"Obviously it's not the technical masterpiece that Sony's big blockbuster releases tend to be." Yes it is. Just because it's cartoonish doesn't make it less impressive.
Astro Bot is AWESOME, and easily a GOTY contender if not the outright champion. I haven't played a game this FUN in years -- it's forgivingly easy (unlimited lives so you can keep retrying levels) but the level design is so creative, you'll keep revisiting levels to find all the bots, puzzle pieces, secret exits, and easter eggs. My wife isn't a gamer, but both of us have been having a blast with Astro Bot -- we saw the trailer completely by chance a few weeks ago, unaware this was even coming out, and after having had fun with Astro's Playroom as the PS5 "pack-in" game, we were excited about this new entry into the series. She was especially so, and went on launch day to buy this at full retail (we almost always wait for titles to go on sale), and it's definitely worth it. The square, triangle, x, and circle levels are some of my favorites for the quick challenges they offer. But the whole game is 10/10, no BS.
I want to play this but for some reason I’m hesitant and idk why. It looks fun but something is holding me from buying it just yet and I honestly am not sure what it is.
Game is a blast. Bring back old gaming , where if a game sells 1 million copies its not considered a failure because it cost umpteen million dollars. Bring back fun. Devoid of android robots with pronouns. Isnt that what this is supposed to be? A fun hobby? Why is this hard?
Looks great, but they squandered the potential with the villains. Generic green dude in a UFO? Robot King Kong? They could've at least tried to make it something tied to the Playstation brand.
Sony.s ceo knows is no new ip built from the groundup astro bot will succeed has will black myth wukong just hope sony can deliver on new ip has ceo is aware of previous studio in the wake of sony
This is why gamers today are hypocrites...I've always heard peoplesay they hate Fortnite because it's made for kids, and here we are with a game definitely made for kids and everyone is praising it...the game has no death penalties at all so no need to worry about dying...it's funny how no one is complaing about that.
@brandonchambers963 "I want to play this but for some reason I’m hesitant and idk why. It looks fun but something is holding me from buying it just yet and I honestly am not sure what it is." Four reasons. (1) The game looks CRINGE. Why is this character always gyrating and dancing like an idiot? (2) Sony has brainwashed you into not liking "kiddy games". So the fact that they made this trash is pure comedy. Who is this game for? (3) You have been burned so much by over-rated mediocre Sony slop so many times that you are super cautions just by instinct. (4) The game is CLEARLY being shilled.

I hope Sony sees this success and pivot towards more games like this and this level of quality. Not that concord BS they tried to pull off.
Should've had a psvr 2 option. Thanks sony for supporting your $500 device!
FF7 Rebirth gave me so much joy... if this ends up getting goty. I'm going to be devastated
Let’s go
I’d buy a dual sense controller to play this on PC if I had to. God damn, this goooooooood
If we got another Playstation Allstars; Astro Bot would be shoe-in.
40-50$ should have been the sweet spot

This is sony going back to their roots and making just simple fun games. By doing this they are gonna reap the rewards of massive sales
This will help me recover from Shadow of the Erdtree.

I’m still playing on Xbox and I’m realizing that I’m the kid wearing the U.S. POLO ASSN shirt.
i do recomend this game!
First game ever I'm paying full Price for
nv played any astrobot game before coz the design/art style doesn't appeal to me, anything special with this that i must try?
Amazing
Give us more Astro Bot VR
Great game but those lost levels really killed my enjoyment. They need to be toned down in any sequel.
😮 These types of single player games are what Sony is all about, not online multiplayer games haha ( CONCORD) 😂
I promised this to my daughter for her birthday. Can she carry over the coins she collected in Astros playroom?
It looks good, but GOTY? Seems like a generic platformer with Sony fan service from what I see. Maybe it's a different experience to actually play
COOL 😎
finally a Mario contender!
Game of the year
To think this started as a tech demo.
Sony The players have spoken!!
7:25 my problem is this is NEVER brought up with the Mario franchise when it has significantly worse combat oriented issues. Great review otherwise
Yeah bias lol
It amazes me how Madden NFL is almost as good as this :)
It’s better actually
Not my stile of game, but glad it doing well.
I am going to buy 2 copies and give one away.
feels like Mario Odyssey on Switch
Yeah, just for the gamers.
Tell me there's a PaRappa The Rapper reference....
9/10
I will buy it when its 30€ or less. Not paying 70€ for this shit 😂
What a wild week for sony. The biggest flop of the year to the highest rated game all in one week 😂
