I think you are confused about the posters response. You were saying it was scored a 90+ but that it was "underrated". Definitely not underrated if it's a 90+. Maybe you meant ignored or under appreciated by gamers?? Definitely not underrated at a 90+ tho.

I was suggesting that it should have scored even higher.
There are moments of magic in the game that I have rarely seen in 35+ years as a gamer.

Hmmm....Mario Odyssey.....97.....AstroBot.....90
Based on this metric, highly underrated. AstroBot is the best platformer since Mario 64

Stoked for it. Doesn't matter what the reviews say, I've already know what to expect and that's a great game worth the purchase

PS5 Pro reveal in Astro's final would be a masterful marketing.

Its not a Nintendo game, 85-89 Max
IF this was a Nintendo game it would probably surpass the 95+ mark

It should've. Mario came out at the same time, I thought Astrobot was better by far. No one agreed with me at the time thoI was suggesting that it should have scored even higher.

Astro Bot Rescue Mission is better than Mario 64.
As much as I'm excited for the new Astro, I'm not gonna pretend I'm not extremely disappointed it's not supporting PSVR 2. It should at least just be VR'd the way it is (basically a hybrid title).
I get it, but I'm not fucking happy about it.

Agreed..but again, we are basing "underrated" on meta scores. People know Astrobot is a good ass game, and if they say it isn't, they are liars.

I said the same — but hey nostalgia is an iron fortress.

No, actually i didn't but i wrote it because 90 MC is not underrated considering how hard it is to get a 90+ on MC (unless the games are hyped like Diablo 4) but i get what you mean it was something special and such.

Odyssey is overrated at 97 though.
90 max since its polished and decent fun.

As someone who owns a PS5 and never played the free Astrobot, what am I missing here?
A lot of this game's appeal seems like a nostalgia kick of "I know that reference!", etc. Is this franchise really the best platformer to come out since Mario 64?

You should try Astro's Playroom.

The nostalgia is definitely there up until the final boss … which hit ps1 owners like myself in the feels. It was a 6ish hour game that taught players all the features of the dual sense controller. Graphics, music, ect were all colorful and dripping with charm. A great platinum experience too. Having not owned a PlayStation since the PS2, it really got me excited to be back in the Sony ecosystem. Easy 8.5/10 for me. A great pack-in game.
I have faith in Asobi surpassing Playroom with Astro Bot. I really think this new game will be a GOTY contender.

My two sons have set up a count down clock in the kitchen for Astro Bot. They are ready. Lol.

Usually when people refer to it being the best platformer since Mario 64 they're referring to the PSVR game, Astro Bot: Rescue Mission. (Which doesn't actually have any of the nostalgia references)

Rescue mission (the VR game) is imo, the best platformer since Mario 64. I think the galaxy games are very close though, might even call them ties.
Playroom is good, if you have a PS5 check it out as it's free. Its also rather short so even if you just find it ok or not your thing, it's not gonna take an insane amount of your time. I think it took me 4 hours for the platinum trophy, and some of that is doing extra things. Not just beating the game.
