Astrobot

I’ve just finished Astrobot, and it is one of the best games I’ve ever played. At least one of the best platformers.

After the huge success of the Astro’s Playroom, a short techno demo game, which is preinstalled on every PlayStation 5, it was a matter of time before we would get a sequel. Sony surprised everyone with the announcement in the early summer this year, and I immediately knew I would preorder it.

Not only I could not wait to play it, my son was excited as well. He already finished the first game and loved the cute Astrobot.

And the new game delivered! It is fully packed with fun challenges and loads of references to iconic PlayStation games. I was jumping on a sofa when I met Nate Drake and his friends, Kratos, Aloy and other protagonists of games I liked. And while my son didn’t know these guys, he also enjoyed saving little robots from various villains.

The story is pretty simple and unremarkable, but inventive gameplay doesn’t let you down. I’ve already finished the game, but I will come back there again and again until I get my Platinum trophy.

And developers have already promised free DLCs later this year!

10/10. My Game of the Year.
