Astro Bot is pure joy. It’s like fragment of childhood sealed away and suddenly uncorked. It’s like jumping into a ball pit as a grown-arse adult. It’s magic.

I play a lot on PC nowadays but my partner and I decided to pick this up last week and got the platnium just recently… probably the most unique, fun and clever games I've ever played… I'm so happy this is on Playstation
Spoiler!
The only part I despise about astrobot is it consistently reminding me of all these amazing franchises that have not had a new game recently. I should not have to play a 3D platformer to experience characters from ape escape, patapon, bloodborne, or loco roco.
It really was a special experience. Team Asobi is a studio to watch now more than ever.
Great to see this win GOTY this year at the Game Awards
Goty!
Goty!
I voted for Wukong, but I cant be mad, this little game deserves the GOTY.
This is my contender for game of the year ! What do you mean it already won ?. But I've still not finished the 1st one
This kids game is better than black myth wukong??????? wtf
how did this win game of the year…oh god
Not sure this would be for me since I didn't exactly like Mario Odyssey either and don't think I would care for the controller gimmicks. It's good that we're still getting polished single player experiences, though.
AND now it sweeped the game awards, including GOTY. Who woulda thunk.
G.O.T.Y.
Congratulations on GOTY 2024 Astrobot!
…..
How long is the game? I think it’s about 55 atm
Alright Mr. Skill up, I have returned after I Platinumed Astro Bot. This game is fucking incredible. I find it impossible to not give it a perfect score personally. Please buy this game everyone it's so damn good.
Ori criminally underrated
0:16 Took your advice and damn am I so happy I did. Just bought it and played it the whole way through, no spoilers. It's so, so good.
I support MORE Rabbids games as long as they are involved with Mario in odd strategy games
Take a drink every time he says "also" Seriously though, this game looks great thanks for the review.
Easily my goty
Never felt so much magic since booting up Mario Galaxy for the first time.
Thats a lot of words and yet says nothing useful about the game. Fangirl geeking out basically lol
Kinda reminds me of A Hat in Time
There is something very dishonest and disturbing happening in the game industry. People like the ones that made this game need to react already.
The sites, critics and everything else midia keeps giving lots of attention to the flops, trying to battle against the customers, while deliberately ignoring the great games that emerged. They could use them as examples and to make tons of interviews and in depth content about the making and etc. , but no, they deliberately don't do it.
The good guys need to react already.
GOTY it's perfect
I came back after I finished the game Skill Up!
How u gonna make a review video but tell ppl to play it first? Lol
Just rolled credits with around 70% completion and have come back to watch this. Holy shit what an experience. The physical toy analogy is perfect.
I've just remembered to come back here after platinuming it:)
Hot take: Astro Bot is both a very good and well made game, and also a perfect representation of what is wrong with the platforming genre today.
At the end of the day, these hyper polished “Mario 3D Land” linear platformers are so cost effective to develop that they’ve effectively taken over the genre. They’re reliable money makers, and, while I think they do have an important place in the market, I also can’t help but wonder how many mlrd quality open world platformers we would have had over the last couple of generations if this subgenre didn’t exist.
Astro Bot is a gorgeous game that carries a ton of obvious passion about the medium from the devs, but I lament the fact that such a talented group isn't being given quadruple the resources and the creative freedom to make something truly innovative.
I guess I just don't know how much more room this genre has to grow when these games are being confines to these kind of linear experiences.
