VGC’s review of Astro **** called it “The best 3D platformer of the decade.”

“Relentlessly joyous, with a world-beating soundtrack to match, Astro **** is a truly wonderful game and the best platformer in a decade,” we wrote.

“While it never coasts on nostalgia alone, the effort Team Asobi has made to treat PlayStation characters (and a few old friends) with respect and love is wonderful. Leave it to Team Asobi to finally get Bloodborne characters in a native PS5 game.”

The PS5 platformer will be released this week, on Friday, September 6, after more than three years of development.

Astro ****’s DLC plan will include new challenge levels and a speedrun mode, the developer confirmed to VGC.

VGC recently got the chance to visit the developers behind Astro ****, Team Asobi, for an inside look at the development of the game, and the history of the franchise.
