Astro Bot – Incredible Reviews – Is This A Game of the Year Contender?

I love everything about the Astro Bot games apart from the design of Astro Bot himself. Yes, I feel he's cute but a little bland. Like he should be advertising an MP3 player in the 2000s.

This game would be awesome as well in VR.

Astro bot by being great shows the problem with modern video games. It takes the bloat and says no to it. Short and sweet.

This might seem nitpicky, but it stems from my curiosity more than anything.

Why does a game like that have any dips whatsoever? In an age of dynamic resolution, shouldn’t the only dip be from CPU limitations? Is this game pushing the ps5 on the CPU side? Is the dynamic res hitting a floor? Why do dynamic res systems have floors at all? The image didn’t look bad whatsoever in that scene, so I fail to understand why not just ditch the floor at all and have the game be perfect.

There must be a limitation or a reason I can’t think of. That’s the main reason why I ask.

It's so hard to resist watching reviews, but l'm going to wait a while before purchasing it. I have other titles to play at the mo. I want to dive in knowing as little about the levels as possible

I sold my xbox series x just to get a ps5 and Astro Bot.

I am waiting to see the DF breakdown on PS5pro because if games like this are pristine , then I might get the slim.

A linear game with self-promotion, generic art direction, no memorable music, and a gameplay already seen many times can be GOTY, while not a single Mario game, even the 97-opencritic Mario Odyssey, got the reward in 20 years VGA/VGX/TGA exists ?
Are you sure ?

It's a fantastic experience but to me isn't better than Ratchet and Clank. To me Ratchet and Clank in the PS2/PS3 era blended a coherent narrative with the nice 3D platforming and combat which is easy for everyone to play. But yes Astrobot is great

I can’t help but notice that the main bad guy in the game is Xbox-green in color.

There has to be be a catagory for games eg game of the year but for what catagory if its platforming then this game wins easyly.

I haven't yet played the game, but, for what regards my own, personal, taste, this, Hi-Fi Rush and It Takes Two, to name the first three that come to my mind (and are well known between most of the people, otherwise I'd have some more titles to add straight away), are what I need, in terms of polished presentation. I feel no need for hyper realistic graphics or whatsoever, I just want to see something that looks "clean" (and hopefully fresh/original) on the screen and puts a smile on my face, while playing

I would rather have 11 Crash Bandicoot/Spyro/Ratchet & Clank/Jak & Daxter/Sly Cooper/Astro games than 11 online-live-service-shooter games.

I click and like all Astro bot videos

In a week where concord shuts down and astro bot releases as a full featured game with no dlc or microtransactions, bug free and the game is great, if you dont support games like astro bot then you forfeit your right to complain about live service garbage.

Sonic has too many leaps of faith and is very very linear. Astro is MILES better than sonic.

What Sonic game is John playing where there's "depth" ?
Sonic's "momentum system" is broken. Always needing to stop or get hit during those moments moments.. unless you're referring those almost quick time moments when Sonic is speed balling in those chutes..
Momentum is when, if you're good, you can KEEP MOVING. Like in the Donkey Kong Country games.
Sonic is the opposite of that. I think he's got his rose colored glasses on.

It's stands shoulder to shoulder with the best platformers ever made, and is one of the greatest games this generation all around. So much charm, soul and attention to detail. Game design and execution at it's finest.

Its not a contender its the winner. Theres NO competition. Nothing even comes close in YEARS.

Childish game

platinum’ed astro bot the other day! it’s a game that just kept surprising me, i couldn’t stop playing.

Astro Bot is a celebration of gaming and especially PlayStation. It has no divisive politics or preachy messaging. It’s loved by nearly everyone. They put so much detail into all the little character animations.

Asobi needs to make an Ape Escape ASAP.

Your review video convinced me to buy it! It's just delightful!

It's not better than Rift Apart though. Some bold claims early in this vid!

Imagine Astro Bot in a 120fps mode 😮
