This joyous platformer is a pitch-perfect look at the past, and a bittersweet look at gaming’s present and future
I cried at the end of Astro Bot . I recognize this isn’t indicative of much beyond my sentimentality, but I thought it was a crucial tidbit to underscore something else, something important about PlayStation’s excellent new platformer. It really is, more than anything else, a celebration of the consoles and games that shaped me, and likely many of you, too. It is so completely possessed with joy and teeming with the life of everything that PlayStation has meant to people over the years.
While clearly borrowing from the framework of Super Mario Galaxy , Astro Bot mostly turns familiar concepts into its own thing. The former game might’ve turned anti-gravity into a primary principle of its design, but here, Astro Bot tastefully deploys it in pockets where it makes sense to, even if they’re both ultimately galaxy-hopping space romps.
