Astro Bot Review

Astro Bot Review: A Whirlwind of Wacky, Wonderful Fun (That’s Almost Perfect!)

Platform: PS5
Developer: Team Asobi
Release Date: September 6, 2024
Rating: ★★★★☆ (9/10 – “Why Aren’t You Playing This Right Now?”)

Listen up, PlayStation fans—Astro Bot is here, and it’s like someone took pure joy, stuffed it into a tiny robot, and set it loose in a candy-colored dream world. This game is so much fun it should be illegal, and if you own a PS5, you’d be committing a crime not to play it.

A PlayStation Theme Park (With Zero Lines!)

Imagine if Disneyland and a PlayStation museum had a baby, and that baby could punch enemies with spring-loaded fists. That’s Astro Bot. You’ll zip through levels packed with:

  • Nostalgia bombs – Spotting Kratos napping in a hammock or hearing the PS1 startup sound hidden in the background will make you squeal like it’s 1999.

  • DualSense wizardry – The controller makes every jump, splash, and punch feel like magic. If you’ve ever wanted to physically sense a robot’s happiness, congrats—now you can.

  • Eye-melting colors – This game looks like a cartoon on steroids.

Gameplay That’s Like Butter (If Butter Could Do Backflips)

Astro Bot controls so smoothly, you’ll forget you’re holding a controller. One second you’re riding a rocket-powered hamster wheel, the next you’re flying with a freaking frog balloon. It’s wild.

  • Boss fights = pure chaos – One minute you’re dodging a giant mechanical monkey’s death rays, the next you’re chucking coconuts at a disco-loving octopus.

  • Power-ups galore – From dog-shaped helicopters to water-spewing elephant backpacks, every new ability is a hilarious surprise.

  • Secret hunts that don’t suck – Finding hidden bots is actually fun because the levels are packed with personality.

Why It’s Not a 10? (Look, Nobody’s Perfect!)

Okay, fine—if we must nitpick:

  • It’s over too soon (~10-12 hours) – Like eating the world’s best cupcake in one bite.

  • A few gimmicks don’t stick around – Some power-ups disappear faster than free pizza at a game dev office.

Final Verdict: Pure, Unfiltered Happiness

Astro Bot is the video game equivalent of a puppy in a spacesuit—impossible not to love. It’s not quite perfect, but it’s so ridiculously fun that you won’t care.

Score: 9/10 – “Stop Reading and Go Play It”

🚀 “If this game doesn’t make you smile, check your pulse—you might be a robot.” 🤖 🎮✨
