Astro Bot
SCORE: 89
There are certain games that we purchase that I want to get going on
right away. Astro Bot on the PS5 is one of those video games. I got this
on my streaming schedule as fast as I could. I loved every single minute
of playing this video game. I even went longer on the live streams. That
is a way to tell if I am into something - if I play past an hour then I
do not want to stop even though I have other duties awaiting me.
There are seven different galaxies in Astro Bot. There is also the Hub
World or the Crash Site in Astro Bot. There we unlock a plethora of
different items. Once players have two hundred bots recovered they can
fight the boss of the seventh galaxy and winning that unlocks the battle
with the end boss. There are so many cool things in Astro Bot. Like bots
dressed like characters from other Playstation franchises.
There are different Playstation systems in Astro Bot as well. The main
ship of the Astro Bots is a Playstation 5. We must recover parts of this
system to get it working again. There is an emotional moment near the
end of this video game as well. I loved how things were done in the
credits. I live streamed Astro Bot from start to finish. It took me
around ten hours. I did not find all of the puzzle pieces or all of the
bots.
There are secrets in some of the levels as well as in the galaxies in
Astro Bot. There are retro rampages as well as some really challenging
levels to unearth in this home console video game. I wonder if Astro Bot
will get an update and have it playable on the Playstation VR 2? I loved
playing Astro Bot outside of VR - compared to the previous video game on
the Playstation VR.
Continuation points are liberally strewn across the levels in Astro Bot.
I appreciated that because it can be really easy to die in Astro Bot. We
can only take one hit before we must go back to a continuation spot. We
do get three hits when fighting the bosses of the galaxies. The music
and sounds are upbeat, fun and friendly in Astro Bot. In fact the music
brings a smile to my face. This entire game brought a smile to my face.
