The best VR game for PSVR1. Really too bad the new AstroBot is not having any VR levels.

If you don’t have PSVR then you are SERIOUSLY missing out! Thankfully Astro Bot is getting his first full length game soon so everyone with a PS5 can experience how amazingly fun it is to play as this little robot!

Story: Not much to say about the story of the game. As expected for a platformer, the story was very minimalistic and also not thrilling or interesting at any moment. Gameplay: This is where Astro Bot Rescue Mission plays his trump cards. The gameplay is very varied from the beginning and throughout the game, as the player never has the feeling that a level or design idea of a level repeats. Therefore each level and world (each world consists of five levels) feels unique and interesting. Also the development team managed to greatly implement the VR, as the player controls the Astro-Bot as a third person "robot", who also controls the Bot ingame. Graphics: Graphics and visuals are perfect for this game. The different levels feel unique and detailled.

Awesome platformer for PSVR maybe The best Platformer on VR. Got this game free with my PSVR Mega Bundle and i played it right away. It was my first PSVR game and it was AMAZING. I am not the biggest fan of platformers but I really enjoyed Astro Bot.

I rarely put a 10, especially to a VR game. But despite the average sharpness on the PSVR1, this game shows that VR can be terrific even for plateforms, and that gameplay & level design quality is much more important than the resolution of the display or the quality of the lenses on the VR headset. Terrific game, easily one of the best VR game ever.

Fantastic video game! Super fun as exciting and, above all, fascinating. Kudos to the developers for hunting this pearl in an increasingly barren market. Well done!

Это явно один из лучших платформеров, который не связан с популярными франшизами, которые я играл, А VR придаёт ему уникальности и непередаваемого погружения!

The best 3D platformer I've played. VR really does add to the experience and make the game the classic it should be remembered as. Worth the price of PSVR alone.

This game is so fun to play. The soundtrack is really good. The cute robots make me really happy and finding all the things in the world of Astro Bot is really fun. It is easy though, so if you want a challenge this game won't offer one that much. It can be hard for me sometimes though. This game is so good and I recommend it to everyone who can play it. All the ways you are affected by the world like water on your face and your screen appearing to be cracked when you, the player, get hit by something is really cool. After four levels of every world there is a boss. I always look forward to the bosses while finding all the things in the world. I did get stuck in a wall once, but it's okay.

Took a rental of sony's vr headset specifically to play this game and I got to say that they did knock it out of the park here! If anything, I would say that this game is underrated, I think if it were another Mario game it would get 96-97 metacritic score. Anyway, this is a near perfect 3d platformer with a fantastic, creative, beautiful and ingenious level design, silky smooth controls, rock steady framerate and of course, jaw dropping vr effect. It has that inspired direction feel to it that just keeps you involved until you beat it at 100%, with the game constantly introducing some new gameplay ideas. Overall, as a fan of the genre, I would say that this is one of the very best examples, which reminded me playing Super Mario Galaxy and Rayman Legends games. If I would to point out some flaws I would say that the game is a bit on an easier side (except bonus challenge levels of course), and combat and enemy types could definitely use more variety. And it can be a bit too cutesy and kiddy sometimes for my taste. Nevertheless, this is tour de force of game design and I think every platformer fan should absolutely play this game, maybe take vr rental if needed as I did if you don't have a headset. Not to mention that this is probably the most polished and most compelling VR game out there (possibly with the exception of half life alyx). I just wish sony would release more platform games instead of their current open world schlock output, but oh well...

When I heard that this should be the best VR Game out there I was pretty sceptic. I am not so much into Jump and run and I dont play games that are aimed for a very young audience. But little did I know that Astrobot was so great and superior to all the things I have seen so far that it was super addictive right from the start. It is surprising how important it is to see it with your own eyes especially when it comes to VR, a 2D Demo on the TV wont give you the slightest idea on how this plays in real life.

Astro Bots know how to operate controllers. When I play, I am first surprised by the cute artwork and then I am surprised by the level design using the controller.

Astro Bot Rescue Mission is an amalgamation of recent Nintendo platform games, such as Super Mario 3D World, Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze, and Splatoon. Problem is, those games weren't great, they were just average. This rendition is greatly improved by a clever second-person view that I would love to see more of in video games. Problem is, while taking ideas away from Splatoon, they could have taken the lives system (maximum of 3, restores every checkpoint). Problem is, this game is just good. It's not GREAT. It's not enough to justify the prices of PSVR on top of what a PS4 or PS5 costs. And make sure it's at least a PS4 Pro, because this is a very advanced game that might crash on something earlier. Overall, this will be a fun game when many more people experience it for the first time in 2025 when it runs smoothly enough and prices of the hardware are low enough.

A well crafted VR game that leaves nothing at the door. It is a fun platformer that has been brought into VR. The best way to describe this game is if Mario got a VR game made by Sony. Definitely something to play if you are new to VR. Whilst the controller can be unresponsive at times the rest of the game works extremely well in a fun solo adventure.

Charming is the word that best describes astro bot. When I saw the design for the first time it looked extremely generic but they managed to convey a lovability personality through this design. The game is a linear 3d platformer in vr and it nails what all 3d platformers must nail control. Astrobot handles like a dream as he jumps hovers and punches enemies. At times your controller is given abilities like spraying water and ninja stars, which reminds me a bit of nintendo land and other early wiiu games. These give the game the variation it needs to keep from going stale. The levels are fun and varied with level themes changing level making no level look or feel the samw as the last. The soundtrack while not having many tracks is realy enjoyable listen to adn you don't get sick of any of the tracks even if you hear them every couple levels. The game also has fun bosses that while being quite easy are a lot of fun to take down. For the completionists there are 8 bots and a chameleon to find in each level. The chameleons unlock challenge levels that will moderately test you but platformer veterans will have no issue. The use of VR in a 3D platformer is inspired and the developers ring most of the potential out of the concept with having you look around corners and from a birds eye view. It's the game I have played VR and is a must play for PSVR owners.

A testament to capability of PSVR and the game designers. This is not just an amazing, immersive and fun VR game - it’s simply a brilliant PS4 game regardless.

Was honestly expecting a mario galaxy knockoff or something going in initally, but after finishing it, I can fully say this game is amazing and takes advantage of the psvr hardware so well. So many specific vr features mixed with smooth gameplay, a banger ost and I can always have a good time playing this game

When RE7 is too scary for you to play in VR than this should your favorite choice. Astro Bot is one the best VR game which was ever made. It is just a pleasure to play this game, that you will smile along the whole game from start to end. The best part in this game is how the creators has used the VR capabilities. Nice demonstration that Sony as the creator of this game are masters of its own hardware.

ASTRO BOT: Rescue Mission is far and away the best VR game I have ever played. I am not quite half way through it and I can already say that if you have any interest in VR, you have to play this game. I have never seen production values like this outside Nintendo's games before. All of the little nuanced flourishes in the interface and environment show that there was a ton of love put into the production of the game. Every character is full of life and the soundscape really breathes life into everything. If you have some kind of physical handicap, this is not a good game for you, as you will be required to move your whole body around a bit to advance and you have to have pretty good reflexes, too, but there was never a time that I felt the game was unfair. Every enemy action is properly telegraphed, so your reflexes can lead you to victory without memorizing patterns and if you ever do die, don't fret, there are re-spawn points every 30 seconds or so. This game respects my time like no other I have played before. As for gameplay, I would describe ASTRO BOT as something like Mario 64 in VR, but like any good VR game, you can't really imagine how immersive it feels until you put the headset on yourself. Do not miss it. I rate it 5 out of 5.

Astro Bot: Rescue Mission is a 3D platform game in which the player takes control of a small robot known as Astro Bot, the aim being to rescue Astro’s crew scattered around each level. Using the duel shock the player is able to control Astro as you would with any game in the genre, the way the game utilises VR however is simply brilliant... Despite being a launch title for PSVR this game that remains the single biggest reason to purchase the headset. I could count on one hand the number of times I’ve been truly surprised by a game in the last decade, but this is an experience like no other and every level and little detail had me smiling from ear to ear. Playing Astro Bot was the first time I could actually see a future where virtual reality becomes an important part of gaming!

Best PSVR game i have played. It brings a smile to my face every time I load in and i get lost in the beautiful rendered worlds. Really good platforming and music to go along with it. level design is really well done, takes advantage of the VR and lots of secrets to find along the way. Also you dont really get much motion sickness playing this, so if you are beginner at VR this is a good game to start.

Masterpiece! The best and most fun video game of all time!! Sorry Kyoto, PSVR is the undisputed king of the world of 3d Platformers with this gem; This is another level of gaming and a true system seller (Like Ferris Bueller said "If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one **** absolute gorgeous, brilliant and progressively challenging experience that will literally take your breath away (in a good way!) I'm nearing the end of the game and I have never been so sad to see a game end. Luckily these last levels are by far the most amazing in the game and just when you think you've been blown ****! You're blown away again and then world 5-2 comes and you're in awe.I lost sleep last night after 5-2; I was so impressed and couldn't stop thinking about it! Oh and the challenge stages..Pure brilliant hardcore platforming at its absolute finest and most fair! If you die, it's 100% your fault. A truly fun experience of epic proportions and wonderful game and I thank Sony's Japan Studio for giving this to the world! Oh, and the music is amazing too..I mean really amazing! Whole game is a masterpiece of design! I cannot stress how fine **** this is! A++ 10/10

I thought I’d be done looking at VR games for a while, but alas, here we are. After completing games like “SUPERHOT VR” and “Blood & Truth,” I expected that my VR time would merely be spent clocking hours in “Beat Saber” and “MLB Home Run Derby VR” (the latter’s actually rather fun, I might say) until Sony decided to bombshell us with some larger VR announcements. That said, my brother decided to buy a copy of “Astro Bot: Rescue Mission” after trying out “THE PLAYROOM VR” (a free, glorified tech demo for the game) and he very highly recommended that I give it a whirl. I tried one level in it, but was immersed so much in it that it became a title I absolutely needed to play through. And now that I’ve beaten it, I can say it’s definitely a pretty great VR adventure. “Astro Bot: Rescue Mission” advertises itself as a 3D mascot platformer with a VR spin to it, and I can certainly say it looks the part. The visuals are colorful and very sharp (even though the VR can often downgrade those a good bit), the sound design is very strong, with clever sound effects and catchy music, and the game plays as well as your standard 3D platformer would play. What gives the game an edge over said standard 3D platformers, though, is how well it integrates the VR into its play. I worried about how necessary the VR would be to a 3D platformer, especially one that used a regular control, but I can assure you that “Astro Bot: Rescue Mission” feels like it couldn’t have been done without the VR. Having the VR serve as your in-game camera provides a fantastic new twist on the 3D platformer, and the way that the VR plays with things like depth perception is so fantastic and clever (it also doesn’t hurt that there are a ton of “wow factor” moments coming from things like having your head under water, birds randomly flying by you, etc.). And fortunately, while you will be moving around a bit, the movement is minimal enough that this won’t make you as dizzy as, say, “Blood & Truth” will (it also helps that “Astro Bot: Rescue Mission” is easier to play when sitting down, too). There were several points while playing where I felt like “Astro Bot: Rescue Mission” could be to the VR what games like “Super Mario Bros.” was to the platformer genre, and what “Super Mario 64” was to 3D gaming. For much of the early game, I had a feeling this could’ve been my first 10/10 rating for a PSVR game, and I felt all ready to crown the game as the best title available on VR. However, I started to find a few problems with the game. To be completely honest, I felt the game honestly could’ve been a bit shorter. I know that might seem bizarre, given that some VR games need to be short so that you don’t make yourself sick wearing the headset, but in the case of “Astro Bot: Rescue Mission,” while the game starts excellently, around the last few worlds, the game sort of crawls its way to the finish. By the end of World 3, the game seemed to have exhausted a good deal of those “wow” moments I mentioned earlier, to the point where the last few worlds just feel a bit lackluster by comparison. Not only that, but by that point, you do start to notice that the level design gets a bit repetitive, and while the levels are beautifully-crafted, they start to feel too same-y by that point. Even so, while the last few worlds do take away from the game a tiny bit, “Astro Bot: Rescue Mission” is still a pretty great VR title. It might not be my personal favorite game on the VR (“Beat Saber” and “SUPERHOT VR” are still a good deal ahead of it), but the game definitely expands wonderfully on a tried-and-true formula, providing a game that serves as a pleasant introduction to VR for younger audiences, while a charming and clever enough one for older audiences. As one of the leading exclusive titles for the PlayStation VR, I can see this being a system-seller, and it’s a definitely a game to try if you own Sony’s virtual reality headset. Final rating: 8 out of 10 “Great”

One of the best PSVR games, maybe best, there's nothing to complain about. Game is unbelievably beautiful for a PSVR game, runs well, fun to play, lots of challenge. PSVR must have game. Realistically 9,5/10 cause it's not perfect but I'll give it a 10 for that extra cute atmosphere
