What is Astro Bot? Astro Bot is a 3D platforming game developed by Team Asobi and published by PlayStation Studios. Back in the earliest days of PlayStation, they were known for iconic platforming games such as Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon. But in 2020, PlayStation released Astro’s Playroom as...

If, like me, you’ve been waiting for Nintendo to deliver a new 3D Mario game for the best part of a decade, look no further - Team ASOBI has done it themselves. For those who own a PlayStation, consider Astro Bot an essential purchase.

Have you ever felt nostalgic for something you did not grow up with? Ever heard an older song for the first time in your 30s, with it almost feeling like part of your childhood? I think this has just happened with me after playing (and completing) Astro Bot. I have played both previous iterations of the adorable franchise made by Team Asobi in the past, but even though I loved playing them, the brand new Astro Bot game was something else. Not only was it a fantastic game, possibly THE best ga...

Astro Bot is an easy pick for one of the year's best, if not the PS5’s as a whole. The first fully-spec’d adventure might not move the needle forward for 3D platformers, but it's a triumphant effort from Team Asobi that stands toe-to-toe with some of the best in the genre. It's full of joy and surprise, and presented with an astonishing level of detail and tactility and packed to the rafters with reverence for PlayStation history.

Sony’s games have shifted from youthful whimsy to serious, mature-themed third-person narratives, leaving little room for all-ages fare. This pivot has brought Sony significant prosperity, making it logical to continue this trend. Now, the company appears to be changing its focus once again to chase the elusive live-service cash cow,…

Slight reservations towards mechanical simplicity aside, Astro Bot's polish and relentless fusillade of charmingly creative concepts places it among the best 3D platformers in recent memory.Reviewer's Note: Since part of what makes this game so fun are the gameplay surprises, if you haven't [...]

Astro Bot is a massive love letter to the 30-year history of PlayStation. With creative and charming ideas, the game is a blast to experience, with many cameos that left me astonished. The technical aspects of the title, such as its DualSense and physics implementations, sit at the top of the market. While there are some underutilized abilities and features, Astro Bot is a great time. This is exactly the type of game PlayStation needs more of: a focused adventure that never wavers from its mi...
