Astro Bot - PlayStation's NEW Platformer Mascot?

For years gaming has had its icons. Some of them apart of the adventures larger than life that we’ve undertaken and played through. Amongst them all, the most iconic of the PlayStation crew was once a Bandicoot named Crash.

Time has passed since those days but now, Astro Bot has everyone hyped and it occurred me talking to someone and them asking why. I realized, some people have yet to experience the very game that comes available on a PS5 from day one. A game that has proven that not gone are the days of the PlayStation Platformer mascot. I wanted to make this video to talk about why I loved Astro’s Playroom so much when opening that PS5 the day came it out and why a kick on instant nostalgia can have so many people looking forward to a simple platformer about a tiny robot and to also take a small dive in to the history of Platformer mascots in PlayStations history.

Thank you for taking the time to watch the video.

Please consider subscribing as I'll likely be doing more discussions and reviews of a similar nature in the future. Any feedback in the comments is happily received.

Hope to see you again, real soon!
