PlayStation 5; Team Asobi\/Sony
<\/strong>Fun-packed and brimming with personality, this full-length Astro Bot outing pays tribute to PlayStation history while pushing the console\u2019s capabilities<\/p>\n

When I say that Astro Bot reminds me of Super Mario Galaxy, I could pay it no higher compliment. It\u2019s not that it\u2019s derivative: indeed it\u2019s the very abundance of new ideas that places it up there with Nintendo\u2019s best 3D platformers. It has taken me around its own small galaxy of planetoid-style levels, from bathhouses to diorama-sized jungle temples to rainy islands, each host to a brilliant one-shot idea, such as a pair of frog boxing gloves or a backpack monkey or a time-stopping watch that lets you freeze giant zooming darts in place so you can jump on them. It is splendid to witness this development team\u2019s creativity let loose.<\/p>\n

Team Asobi has previously made a couple of short-form Astro Bot games \u2013 one for the PSVR, Rescue Mission, and another that came packaged with the PS5 at launch, Astro\u2019s Playroom \u2013 but this one is full-length, complete with challenging bonus levels that play out like electrified skill-check gauntlets for the generation raised on 3D platformers. It is supremely funny and characterful, thanks to the titular chibi blue-and-white robot and his crowd of friends, many of whom are dressed up as characters from the most obscure crevices of PlayStation history. The attention paid to these bots \u2013 their animation, their mannerisms, their dance moves and little cries for help when they\u2019re stuck up a tree being menaced by malevolent octopuses \u2013 fills them to the brim with personality.<\/p>\n
