This game looks super fun. LOVE 3D platformers and I’m sad that aside from Nintendo there’s almost no big companies making them (there’s numerous Indie ones). This is one of the few games that actually tempts me to get a PS5. Most of the PlayStation games I actually want are from the PS2/3 era, and I just need to figure out emulation. If the PS5 was backwards compatible with physical disks going back to the PS1, had free online, PSN didn’t get routinely hacked, and they were to make MCC (Master Chief Collection) style collections of their old games for PS5 I’d buy one yesterday. Until that happens I don’t really have a reason to buy one. Let’s hope that Sony and numerous other companies see the truly abysmal failure of Concord and other live service games contrasted with the success of Astrobot and correct course. Unfortunately, that most likely won’t be the case since numerous companies see the few live service success stories and ignore the mountain of corpses they’re perched on top of.
Astro Bot was an incredibly well designed game that showed what playstation studios can do. I agree. I hope they see this and course correct to an extent to see what their consumers want
You wouldn't know this but! I have friends who watch me play games..so when in party chat on share screen you dont need to blow the controller theres another option for it. Plays really thought everything through they knew people would watch this on the console.
@@GamingSins The only real difference is that Mario Galaxy had multiple variations of the multi Star levels (usually one variation per Star) and Astro Bot just uses one standard level for all the Bots in the multi Bot levels
I’m really enjoying it, I’ve done 3 of the galaxies 100% complete and I’m up to date on the secret galaxy. The game is.mostly pretty easy with forgiving checkpoints but the more secret levels are pretty challenging and rewarding. Overall it’s really fun game. My only negative is I don’t recognise many/most of the ps characters but this doesn’t matter they’re still fun.
@@GamingSins I’ll take it as a yes then? Ratchet, Clank and Rivet are the first bots to save in the game. I’m a massive fan of the Ratchet & Clank series and I’m well-versed in its lore. Heck, I even dress the part, cosplay wise.
It's seriously a money issue for me too! I wanted to get this but Zelda is in two weeks and Mario Brothership is just around the corner too! If only I could shake trees and have little coins fall out of them, or sell fruit for cash!!
Sony seems to be getting the message. No DEI. Make stuff like astro and wukong, not dustborn and concord. Hopefully they understand and don't keep losing hundreds of millions
@@GamingSins lol I'm 60 years old so not a serious gamer but I played lots of platform games on the switch. Not sure what PS5 has to offer besides this new release
I'll put it at par with Kirby Forgotten Lands and skimming Mario sunshine (for those same good mechanics, why change what works and why pretend they aren't the same) it has some leagues to go to catch up to Odyssey but as a Mario fan I would say that I bet this caught Nintendos attention. Hopefully the next Astrobot will push the game play further and make Mario sweat, competition is going to be good in 3D platformers again!
Well i played a lot of it but im not sold, this is a great game and i hope it sells well enough for a franchise, but this is kind of the We have Mario at Home situation. This has so much potential and hopefully it brings the standard of other platformers up on the other consoles too!
I think this is a fair assessment. It might not strike the accord with everyone and thats okay. That is what gaming is all about, having something for everyone
GAME OF THE YEAR
Indeed😎
Black Myth Wukong is probably more deserving of that title.
Still very good, though
Your so right
A lot of that background stuff of the game while you're talking reminds me of Super Mario Sunshine.
It definitely has a similar vibe to it. It's just fund all the way around
If they would have thrown a bit more Kirby and the Forgotten lands in there it would have been perfect for Playstation players for sure!
Looks really fun, Thanks for the sweet review. Take care and wish you a wonderful weekend. 🐱🐱❤️❤️
Thank you and likewise!
This was the game I have been waiting for. And it has so far surpassed my expectations.
Yes it is excellent
The soundtrack alone is sublime ! Will in my head for ages. ❤
Ive been walking around my house whistling it at times lol

Much Better Than Concord…😌
lol and probably 90 million dollars less too
That is not exactly saying much.😅
Welcome back
Good to be back =)
I want to play it by i refuse until my AstoBot controller arrives.
Got mine in last week thanks to Playstation.
It's funny you mentioned headsets, lol. I was gonna say this Astrobot is best played with Astro A50 headphones.
Yeah headsets are the way to go with this game
You wouldn't know this but! I have friends who watch me play games..so when in party chat on share screen you dont need to blow the controller theres another option for it. Plays really thought everything through they knew people would watch this on the console.
Gotcha thanks for sharing!
It does indeed look like a Mario Galaxy made for modern hardware
It has some properties of it
@@GamingSins The only real difference is that Mario Galaxy had multiple variations of the multi Star levels (usually one variation per Star) and Astro Bot just uses one standard level for all the Bots in the multi Bot levels
I pre ordered Astro Bot, loved it
Awesome! Hope you like it
@@GamingSins I do

Yeah there are some side missions coming up that i found chsllenging, as well as the last mission.
0:26 “let’s ratchet up that difficulty” I see what you did there. I take it you already unlocked the Ratchet, Clank and Rivet bots?
You are the first to catch that. Great job
@@GamingSins I’ll take it as a yes then? Ratchet, Clank and Rivet are the first bots to save in the game.

If I owned a ps5, i would buy this, but I have a switch and am waiting for echoes of wisdom
Nice! If you do ever get s Ps5 this is a solid one to get
It's seriously a money issue for me too! I wanted to get this but Zelda is in two weeks and Mario Brothership is just around the corner too! If only I could shake trees and have little coins fall out of them, or sell fruit for cash!!
I love Astro Bot
Excellent character snd game

I hope they still to these really amazing experiences that we are used to seeing from them
30 to 35 hour platinum trophy? I platinumed it In 10 hours
Awesome job! I did not 😂😂
I got the platinum in 12 😅
Sweet, it took me much longer
The Man. The Siner's Juge 😂
I going to get the game 🎉
You won't regret it
more times than your baby daddy
😀😀😀😀
there is no way the plat run is 30 hrs I have like 17 hrs on it and Im on the grand master challenge
Thats how long it took me because im an idiot and had died a few times 😂
@@GamingSins I bet alot of those deaths were on the shape challenge voids, weren’t they 😂 because if so were in the same boat
Well I waited til this game was released before buying a PS 5 lol
Lol I don't blame you. Plenty of other great titles on the PS5 mind you, but this is THE platformer of the current generation
@@GamingSins lol I'm 60 years old so not a serious gamer but I played lots of platform games on the switch. Not sure what PS5 has to offer besides this new release
For platformers not much tbh. But if you're into story games: God of War, FF7 Remake and Rebirth, Spider-Man 2 etc
This game is way better than Mario Odyssey…
Both solid, but yeah this one is pretty sick
I'll put it at par with Kirby Forgotten Lands and skimming Mario sunshine (for those same good mechanics, why change what works and why pretend they aren't the same) it has some leagues to go to catch up to Odyssey but as a Mario fan I would say that I bet this caught Nintendos attention.

Mario Odyssey debut over 7 years ago too. Your statement is moot!
