The reveal of Team Asobi's Astro Bot was the most exciting thing to come out of Sony's State of Play a few weeks back - and John's had the chance to go hands-on with an hour-long demo. Here's what he thinks of the game and why it's shaping up to be a very different, very exciting PlayStation game.

    If you're a fan of platformers you should show up and support this game to show Sony these type of games are still in demand and hopefully push for more of these type of big budget platformers.
  • @8bitpro85
    I hope this game inspires other developers to bring back platformers like these.
  • @cody3335
    Astros playroom was insanely good for such a small package.
  • @Rocko130185
    Astro's Playroom will always hold a special place in my heart. It was the first game my son loved playing, he's 5 now and still plays with me. We are both extremely excited for the new one, we really can't wait.
  • @ricepony33
    Watching a 6 year old play Astro truly reminds me of how important these types of games are.
  • @dr.loomis4221
    I wonder how many people just flat out ignored Astro's Playroom. I know I ignored it for about 6 months before I tried it out. One of the best experiences on PS5 imo.
  • @Paneka_
    i'm totally with John. This game will be pure joy.
  • @DKFProductions
    The closest thing we have to a new 3D Mario game and I'm so excited
  • @illegal_Leonard
    If it’s anything like Astro’s Playroom, I’m sold. Best “tech demo” ever.
  • @CR00K__Gaming
    Astrobot for PSVR is a top 10 game of all time for me. No, Im not kidding It was that entertaining. Some of the most creative game design I've ever experienced.
  • @fenixa2z936
    43yo man and can say with confidence this is my most anticipated game of this year! LFG!!!!
  • @deepblue8143
    Watching John talk about the game makes me happy. You can tell that he's highly excited. Thank you, John, I'm sold.
  • @IMan_93_
    The original was absolutely fantastic. The ways that it used the DualSense were something I’ve really never experienced before. I can’t wait for this guaranteed banger
  • this is exactly the type of game Playstation needed, focused on being colorful, charming and FUN. We need more of these.
  • @Kamology_
    Astrobot is literally the only game I’ve played on PS5 and that alone has almost justified the system for me
  • @sniper007uk
    As a 45+ year old gamer it is games like these that remind me I’ll never be too old to enjoy games. Pure joy, I can’t wait!
  • @CerberusLetsPlay
    If this game doesn't appeal to you, you forgot what made gaming fun in the first place. Loved Astro's Playroom and was a genius idea to include it free on every PS5
  • @simonfil2
    So fun to see Johns childlike excitement for this title 😊 Gonna be great. I bet we'll have an in game ps5 pro model to discover.
  • @philwilcox4938
    I do love John's smile throughout this video - it's like he's re-living his child like youth! Sheer enthusiasm for this kind of medium! Honestly Astrobot on PSVR was stunning! I wish there was more experiences like this, just utter fun and joy while playing!
