The game’s success is not entirely surprising, given the game’s strong heritage. This sequel to Astro’s Playroom (2020) expands on the simple yet addictive platforming mechanics that made the original beloved by fans. The game is a masterclass in level design that also happens to take us on a nostalgic trip through PlayStation’s history.

The game is packed with references to the PlayStation library, featuring mascot bots dressed as characters from franchises like **** of War, Ratchet & Clank, and Uncharted.

IT FEELS REAL NOW

There are 300 total bots to rescue in Astro ****; 150 are PlayStation cameos. Should probably clear your diary for Friday.

This release also comes at a crucial time for Sony. It’s a much-needed hit after the recent misses of other titles like Concord. The game’s immediate success, evidenced by its high scores on review aggregators and positive player feedback, highlights a potential shift in what gamers are looking for.
