Astro Bot is the BETTER Version of Super Mario Galaxy - The PS5's Best Exclusive!

Welcome to my review of Astro Bot! This game was developed by Japan Studio's Team Asobi and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment and was released on the PS5 earlier this year on September 6th, 2024. This was one of the few games I actually bought at launch because it just makes more sense for me to focus on backlog games, while buying new games six months later for half the price. However, I am so glad I did because after playing Astro's Playroom earlier this year, I had very high expectations for Astro Bot and it did not disappoint. Every level has so much variety, there were so many deep cut cameos aside from the standard Kratos and Aloy, which were to be expected, and towards the end, the game actually become quite challenging. In my opinion, not only is Astro Bot the BEST PlayStation 5 exclusive, but it is also the BETTER version of Super Mario Galaxy. Those of you who are familiar with me should know that I am not a big Nintendo fan, but I have played Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 and really enjoyed them when I was younger. Astro's Playroom already reminded me of Super Mario Galaxy, but Astro Bot excelled in every possible way. It managed to utilize the DualSense controller with features I didn't even know existed while not being overly gimmicky like the Wii remote. I strongly recommend this game even if you don't like 3D platformers because the only genre I typically play are jrpgs or genres adjacent to them. If you are a PlayStation fan, you are going to love all of the cameos too. There were some really deep cut. My next review will be on Soul Hackers 2. Thanks for watching, let me know your thoughts in the comments down below, and have a great day!
