Astro's Playroom is a cute, beautiful showcase of the power of the PlayStation 5. It is also a love letter to the console's history and legacy. It was so much fun to go through this game looking at the different hardware through the console's previous generations and appreciating the amazing DualSense controller.
The PlayStation 5 is a joy to look at. It is a futuristic, space-age beauty of a console that makes me excited to see what the future of gaming will be like. Astro's Playroom makes full use of the controller's new features, including the dynamic L2 and R2 triggers, the movement sensors and the wide variety of vibrations that make the games come alive. Seriously, you can even feel what material Astro is walking through. I think these features will further enhance future games, and give developers more tools to play with in the future.
Another amazing thing of the PS5 is the sheer power of the machine. In Astro's Playroom, the loading times after you die are incredibly fast. I almost shed a tear after experiencing this first-hand. After 18 years of gaming, I never thought I would see the day that annoying loading screens would become a thing of the past. Dropping you into action almost immediately. Visually, there are a lot of things that are much better than past games, this is a generation that will be massively improved graphically.
The game itself is a pretty fun platformer, I enjoyed my time with it and loved all the references from other PlayStation games. You can tell that Sony puts a lot of love behind their brand, and this game is proof of it.
Final Score: 75/100
