Astro Bot Review — The Gamer’s Lounge

VGChartz’s Lee Mehr: “As an ode to PlayStation, Astro Bot succeeds at meaningfully infusing its history; as an all-ages theme park, it succeeds by infusing each location with an overwhelming sense of joyous wonder most often felt in Nintendo platformers, but with a level of technical sophistication not yet seen from its hardware; as a 3D platformer, well… you come in understanding the trade-off of mechanical simplicity for polish and pacing. While Team Asobi worked hard in managing that compromise, a part of me wonders what greater player expression would’ve contributed to its platforming, intrinsic challenge, and so on. Regardless, at least those reservations never kept me from smiling at Astro’s endearing spirit.”
