This was the culmination of the state of affairs on May 30, and rightly so. New game Astro Bot, simply called Astro Botseeks to consolidate its main characters as PlayStation brand new mascot and the first trailer has all the signs that it is the company’s best platforms over the last decade.

Although the closure of Japan Studio a wound that will never heal, the fact that Sony placed such importance on Asobi Studio at least helps to cope. Because if the first game in the Astro Bot saga is one of the best VR games, and the second is one of the best PS5 games, what couldn’t it be? third delivery with more time and resources behind? We’ll find out about it September 6, 2024when it releases exclusively for PS5.

Just enjoy the first trailer and see how many references to PlayStation history you see.

Why is Astro Bot getting so much attention?

If you don’t understand what we’re talking about so much excitement “just” from playing Astro Bot, let us share a couple of paragraphs with you. The first, obtained directly from the analysis of the original game (with rating 9.2 on MeriStation):

“Astro Bot is the best PlayStation VR game to date, and not only does it not settle for it, but one of the best platforms of recent times. The brightest representative of everything that virtual reality technologies can offer and give. Endless waste of creativity; a canvas on which each stroke seems more inspired and original than the previous one; Breath of fresh air reinvents the way to play and opens up new horizons. Its pacing and surprise factor continue to trend upward, with levels becoming longer and more complex, more challenging and satisfying. Amazingly colorful and detailed, on a graphical and sound level we are talking about delicious experience. Just when we think we’ve seen it all, he manages to prove how wrong we are. One one of those games that you never want to finishbut in which you cannot let go of the command.”

And here is the second one, taken from an analysis of Astro Playroom, a game released for the PlayStation 5, which, let us remind you, It’s FREE for all console owners., so you will not find a better way to wait for a new one or understand its phenomenon than to try it. It was planned as 3-hour technical demowas so good that he got 8.5 on MeriStation:

“Rating a free-to-play game can be a bit of a waste of time, given the lack of a ‘recommend to buy’ factor.” But since Astro Playroom brilliant title, it won’t hurt to leave our rating and recommendation for playing it as one of the first things to do on your PS5 in the annals. The Asobi team did a fantastic job. wonderful in all aspectsa real gift for PS5 buyers who will appreciate the triple quality of the game, the fantastic use of DualSense and A heartfelt tribute to Playstation history. Only the game’s limited length and lack of additional activities, bosses, and special events betray Astro Playroom’s place in the early PS5 universe. We’d like to think that with a larger budget and the right approach, the team could create platformer adventure of many carats. And if that were the case, Astro might have much more to say in the future.”

Asobi’s team seems to have risen to the challenge of this assessment, and indeed it does. have something to say this year.
