My opinion on Astro bot is similar to the Lego movie. When we all heard of it most of us assumed that they would be just blatant product placement whoring but when you have actual people that care about the art and product that they’re working on you can get fantastic results that will surpass expectations and surprise everyone.

The best thing about the GoW level is that the soundtrack has a bass drop with Kratos saying "Boy!"

[divineoblivion]

Jesse did the best job at explaining what this game is about. Liked the game, but loved watching Jesse stream it. That was a lot of fun!

[HazeEmry]

Even without the nostalgia bait, it's just a charming game that doesn't try to be more than it is. And what is it? Fun. Pure. Unadulterated. Fun. Also the fact that we pieced the ps5 back together actually was an important part of the story. Like, it actually had a reason to be in this and it blows my mind and I actually cried.

[SplotchyInk]

Astro Bot 'would' be blatant promotion... if Sony didn't abandon 80% of the games/IPs that make cameos in it. This INCLUDES secret levels for things like Ape Escape and Loco Roco.

Like... this game made me MORE angry at Sony cause I was like "OH, SO YOU DO REMEMBER THESE CHARACTERS! If that's the case, why didn't you commission more games using these IPs to be made, as opposed to... uh, I don't know, literally flushing $400 MILLION on Concord?"

Watched RTgame play through it and it was genuinely so charming and constantly introduced new mechanics (while not overloading you with too many different mechanics at once in most cases). On top of that the water level was actually enjoyable and fresh which is huge.

Astro bot is how advertising should be done. It advertises by allowing you to experience the fun and wonderful aspects of the product it’s trying to sell. It isn’t a soulless cash grab, it’s a love letter designed to make you enjoy the product and buy it for enjoyment instead of because they told you too

[catmage]

It's a really fun plataformer game! Not to mention the haptic feedback on the controller is astounding. It's hard to explain, but you can feel the surface you're walking on through your hands, as wel as walking through bushes and waist-deep water. There's even a mechanic where you find a switch on the wall by having astrobot drag their hand along it and you can feel in your hands where there's a spot with a different texture.

My friends and I were passing the controller around going "feel this!"

Haven't had an experience like that since the wii came out and motion controls were a cool novelty.

[Foogi]

Sony spent 400+ million on Concord thinking it was the future of PlayStation when in all actuality Astro Bot is.

[AbbreviatedReviews]

It's a little ironic that it's a PS5 promotion that you can only play on the PS5. It's like giving yourself an award for having the best award ceremony.

[Danielsworlds]

Did we all forget mascot driven 3d platformer collectathon games are the goat or somthing? Do we not remember how the whole psx and ps2 Gens were defined by this type of game?

[salsatheone]

'Member Kratos? 'Member? 'Member console wars?

[MillerLewis-wy]

Can’t believe how hard this game got…OMG I LOVE IT.

[paulegger]

Astro Bot was a preloaded tech demo for the launch of PS5. Showcasing the console's features on launch only made them go further with this game. It worked once why not continue?

[Noexperience-]

this is literally the whole point of the first astro bot game

[ryutx]

For me its not product placement if is in the product they are trying to “promote”, is just a love letter for playstation fans over the years and if you ask me the best love letter to any fandom (even over ssb).

[Yourfat]

Astro bot is the antithesis of ‘we don’t have any IP’

[Sharkspartan]

I love the Demon's Souls stuff in Astro Bot

The god of war level, the horizon zero dawn level, the uncharted level. They were good.

Plot twist, the green alien is the evil XBOX 😂
