In all seriousness, hearing the transition in your videos from “my girlfriend” to “my fiancée” to “my wife” AND THEN HEARING YOU’RE HAVING A KID is beautiful. Congratulations Monty :]
What makes Astro Bot so great is that not only is he a celebration of everything PlayStation both franchises and hardware, but if you take all that out, make him just a regular cute robot and his generic friends in a spaceship, you are still left with absolutely phenomenal 3d platforming and adorably beautiful environments.
I remember an interview with Team Asobi where they said they wanted to improve on Astro’s Playroom by making the gimmicks actually incorporated into the platforming. While the power ups in playroom did demonstrate the dualsense well, they did often break the pace, as good as that game was. They don’t do that here though. You know how I know that? Because I would play a platformer that was solely based on Every. Single. Power up. Here. And the fact that some of them are only used once, gives you a game that literally NEVER gets old throughout the entire journey.
20:00 Another thing to note about the boss design here is that the bell has red eyes. It's not just an object, it's an enemy. Your wife picked up on it immediately that "it has red eyes, I need to hit it/kill it" so the bell having those red eyes is a nice way of diageticaly signposting where to hit. Pretty subtle and cool design. Love this game, and love this video/video series for showcasing a play tester's point of view!
Just came home from an Astrobot hunt and legit, no one has a copy to sell me. Every game store and big box retailer is completely sold out. Even in the next town over, they're sold out! And honestly, I think that speaks to how good the game is (which makes me more excited to finally play the full game).
2:36 "astrobots dont grow little astrobots in tummies that are currently kicking" Congratulations! :D In 5 years there will be a new sersies, Noobus Humanus jr.? I made my kid play ...
12/10 editing in part 5, absolutely loved it. It was also so fun to see how much the Noobus seemed to enjoy this one, definitely encouraged me to pick up the game!
this game is such an utter delight. There are just too many people in the world determined to be negative about things it's astounding. I'm glad you guys had fun and congratulations to you both on the upcoming child.
I think the only time I clicked faster on a video was when your Soma essay dropped. Can't wait to see what the Noobus thinks of Astro Bot. Love your videos Monty and wish you and the Noobus all the best! ❤
I'm going through a rough patch and this game is just pure unadulterated joy. I thought I had grown out of platformers since I've been only enjoying narrative driven or multiplayer games for like 2 decades but since I quite enjoyed Astro's Playroom I bought Astro Bot on launch, first game I do this in a couple of years. I'm glad I did because I often realized I was smiling while playing it, just fun for the sake of fun, and I was really taking it in and taking my time so it would last as long as possible. Spent 20 hours to platinum it and it's one of the most well spent money in years for me. I hope it succeeds and we not only get more Astro Bot stuff but other similar games too from Playstation Studios.
Was so stoked to see you do Astro Bot as part of this series. I’m not into platformers but this was the most delightful thing I’ve played this year and I’m determined to get the Platinum! PS. I love the way you edited the triangle void level section too 🤭
This year in gaming may have been…weird. But it gave me two of my favorite video games of all time. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and this so honestly I can’t really be too mad.
I love this series as it's everything I love about good game design. Veterans and Noobs should be able to enjoy the same games at their own skill levels. I have grown up on Playstation games and it was so fun to see the call backs but also have an Astro Bot take on them. My fiance doesn't know many of the Playstation IPs and yet loves to watch me play the game and gets excited by ever new special bot I find. I have genuinely enjoyed every second of Astro Bot. Levels are challenging while being entirely beatable, controls are so intuitive that every mistake feels soley my own fault and so much thought and care has gone into every aspect of this game. Making the hint bird accessible but also not forced on you, control prompts being noninvasive but easily understandable and so much more! I find myself sitting staring at the game at times just enjoying the music and visuals. 10/10 highly recommended game for sure
OMG YALL ARE HAVING A KIDDO!!!! 💜💜💜💜 CONGRATULATIONS!!! I've been following since the first Noobus Humanus and omg I'm so happy to have been on this ride, I'm so happy for you both!!! Sweetest of blessings and a Ka Pai (good job!) from a kiwi witch 💜
Already seen this early on account of the Patreon, but dropping a comment to boost the video! This was a REALLY fun video. It was great to see Noobus REALLY get into this game. You don't have to make a video on it if you don't want to, but I think that she might enjoy APE OUT. It has a diferent vibe than AstroBot, but it's simple mechanical nature and exciting gameplay might appeal to her. It's a short game with BEAUTIFUL art and a top-tier reactive soundtrack. It is top-down, and quite arcady. It has a VERY simple combat system that's easy to pick up, but it remains challenging. And to top it off, it has one of THE BEST ENDINGS to ANYTHING I've ever played or seen. DEF check it out. And if you haven't played it... Check it out, too!
i jsut saw that you are missing the 4 extra bots you get if you find them first in astros playroom so all in all its 305 to find ^^ and i love your videos kind of reviews to all these i made her play xyz you two are great!
7:00 - If she’s just getting acquainted with “slapformers,” it might be a good time to introduce her to “Thank Goodness You’re Here.” Or, it might not…
I streamed my whole astrobot play through on my twitch I still need to 100% the trophies but I did get all 300 plus the parabola onion on the rage inducing Master stage. I cannot wait to get all the trophies. :)

Absolutely! That was my thought when I heard her talking about the little one kicking in her tummy 🥰
Yes! Best wishes to the whole, lovely family 😊🥰🥳

which is what rescue mission basically was
“I made my Astro wife play bot”
Banger title
I made my Bot play Astro Wife
Yup!
LMAO I read the same thing 🤣
@@harryelsuciopotter1130 everybody
XD
Honestly it's great to have a AAA game come out that's just trying to make people have fun, on top of being adorable and completely innocent

this game (especially the entire finale sequence) was enough to make a grown man with bills upon bills just cry 😭
oh, the fight at the end was peak, and the fake out ending did cause a tingle on me

Been gaming 30+ years and AstroBot is seriously among the GOAT's

Accidentally double jumping off that armadillo was something I only did about a 2 dozen times myself. 💙
this game is such an utter delight. There are just too many people in the world determined to be negative about things it's astounding. I'm glad you guys had fun and congratulations to you both on the upcoming child.
"he was terrible child"... it's not about dad but "Les Enfants Terribles" project

I love how the name of the last part is also the name of the track that plays during the challenge levels.

I love how everyone meeting Rivet in the first level calls her "the other one"
Your editing on this series is sooo clean and engaging. I'm honestly blown away
Love the editing for the challenge level

Dude, the Pt5 music is kicking off. Giving DaftPunk vibes lol
0:42 I haven’t played Astro Bot AND I’m colorblind so this jab felt extra targeted
I Made my Wife Astro Play Bot

7:33 “Things like to be hit in this universe”
She’s not wrong.
Sorry about so many comments, I just love Astro Bot so much! I hope I’m not bothering.
This is so delightful!! It sparks joy :D !!!
You should try Nine Sols! Considering she liked hollow knight but had issues with sekiro, it would be interesting to see what she thinks of it.
in tune with the rumblings for 8 months..hmmm...noobus humanus babycus? XP
Hi-Fi RUSH when? i think that one would be fun tho.
"I made my Astro wife play Bot"😂
7:00 - If she’s just getting acquainted with “slapformers,” it might be a good time to introduce her to “Thank Goodness You’re Here.” Or, it might not…
That was a lovely little romp.
I read the thumbnail as “I made my Astro wife play bot”
I love asto bot its a game that I can play in from of my siblings and it’s just an amazing time
God I hope it does well so Sony knows we want more of THIS! GOTY for sure. Pure joy.
This video should be seen by the matroska's creator... your wife is one of the few people I think would be afraid of them :d
