I wanted to get to that too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 There are cool touches like when you rescue a Astro bot, it pops into your controller on screen. You can thrust your controller upwards and the bots get boosted into the air in the game. These touches add up and make the game feel more interactive. It’s isn’t groundbreaking but it is thoughtfully designed and I appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bacon Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 Spoiler Found my first secret level. Love the "lyircs" for the secret galaxy. Honestly, while I'm only 2 levels in, I think if you have a PS5, this is a must play at some point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 Also the game reminds you how underutilized the dual sense is in games. I get it that all games are multi platforms but if more games used its features, I would probably play more games on the PS5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spork3245 Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 I'm not gonna lie; I have basically no interest in this game, but I'm going to buy it anyway by the end of the year because Stepee. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaysWho? Posted September 6 Author Share Posted September 6 Bloomberg: Playstation's Astro Bot is a Model for the Video Game Industry Quote The contrast made for some serious whiplash. Concord was an expensive online shooter developed by hundreds of people at an estimated nine-figure budget, greenlit as part of PlayStation’s effort to chase the Fortnite dragon of “live service” games that can be monetized for years after release. The game received mediocre reviews and was played by almost nobody. Meanwhile, Astro Bot is now sitting at 94 out of 100 on the review aggregation website Metacritic. It has no microtransactions, live-service elements or cynical trend-chasing. It is simply a great platformer, one that surprises and delights you at every turn with smooth controls and all sorts of brilliant gameplay twists. Quote While Concord feels symbolic of the industry’s woes, Astro Bot feels like a model for a more sustainable future. It was developed by a team of 60 people in three years, a stark contrast to the six-year productions staffed by thousands of employees that have become common in recent times. Rather than chasing endless gameplay, Astro Bot is delightfully compact and can be completed in around a dozen hours — a godsend for busy parents or people with massive gaming backlogs. No paywall for this one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bacon Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 It's a shorter game. Could be beaten in one sitting from what I'm seeing. Guess it depends on how much you value quality over quantity. If this game was 40-50, I'd feel that be fair, but it is also extremely polished and quite fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bacon Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 I have 100%'d the first two galaxies now. I am enjoying this WAY more than SMO. The only thing SMO has over this is all the jumps that Mario can do. I know having more options is critical in a platformer, but even then, this still blows SMO out of the water IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
