What does the tornado symbol thing mean next to the number of bots and puzzles for each level ?

it means there's a hidden level warp somewhere. sometimes it's fairly obvious, sometimes you have to look around a little. Pretty fun little secrets

The amount of passion, love and care that went into this project is nothing short of astounding, it's bursting at the seams with charm and whimsy, a colourful wonderland of delight. I have so much to say, more later!

Edit: and the OST is

Nothing will dethrone Returnal imo, but let's add to the greatness sure!

Are there levels with timers in this game? Like 1:58 for the gold, 2:10 for the silver kind of shit or can you just relax and take your time in a level?

Shit with timers always puts me off.

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

Holy shit! Ape Escape lives! Maybe this was their pitch, let them make a whole game

I've 100% completed the first world and not so far.

Nope. 3 hours in.

Video games really are allergic to setting the HDR black level to true zero, this is an ongoing issue with a lot of games

 

[Kirkio]

I wasn't going to bother with this. I really enjoyed the pack in game that came with the PS5 but it's not the typical type of game I would buy anymore.

These reviews and impressions have won me over though, downloading right now and will have an old school gaming weekend.

My son has just started to try and play things (he's 4), so this seems like a good game to let him play around with too, can't wait!

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

Holy shit at some of these cameos, seriously, lots of surprises, I've been smiling ear-to-ear ever since I started

Edit: And let me add screenshots don't do this game justice, they look washed out and flat. On my OLED this is legit one of the best looking games I've ever played seriously buy an OLED if you haven't already), vibrant, everything popping off the screen, the animations, particle effects and physics a feast for the eyes.

 

[Osthyvel]

And here is another, my goal was to wait for a sale but i am on my way to the store right now.

Some games is worth it day1, not many though, but this is.

 

[SigSwat551]

Lol...i'm only 15 minutes in but i'm already in love with the game. The art direction is phenomenal.

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

Just started the mouse level, in my veins!

How do i reveal the spoiler?

 

[tommib]

How do i reveal the spoiler?

You need to lick the thumbnail.

 

[GymWolf]

You need to lick the thumbnail.

That's the first thing i tried so...jokes on you.

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

How do i reveal the spoiler?

Literally just tap the image

 

[GymWolf]

Literally just tap the image

I tried but it doesn't work for some reason

(I'm on a tablet)

 

[Esppiral]

This bad boy is in da house! Must resist until I finish working.....

 

[Hoho for breakfast]

They nailed the controls. I've played like 10 minutes of it lol but it immediately jumped out at me. This isn't Little Big Planets weird floaty wonky bullshit or even Mario where it over controls all the time. This is way better imo. Maybe Ratchet and Clank had good controls too? I don't really remember now but other than maybe that this has to be the best controlling platformer I've played in forever.

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

This level tho (world 2)

Spoiler

Once again, vids/pics look washed out, when seeing it on an OLED I promise the visuals are amongst the best you've ever seen and it runs like a dream.

Found another bot that's a super throwback, only OG PlayStation heads will recognize it *heh heh*.

 

[Esppiral]

its been decades since I've seen a game coming with a full colour manual this is pure love.

 

[Chuck Berry]

Well…it’s downloading

 

[RoadHazard]

Picked up my copy, did my part!

Not sure I'll have time to start playing today, we'll see.

 

[tommib]

Pirate level is adorable.

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

Triangle levels first to offer *some* kind of real challenge, I dig it

 

[Osthyvel]

Holy.... my smile, all the time, this is pure happiness!

 

[DenchDeckard]

Damn! Why am I away from today until Sunday! I wanna play.

 

[shubik]

Damn FOMO is strong right now. I still have Star Wars to finish as well as Wukong. And now Space marine AND this?!?!

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

Trunk of Funk This game is fucking incredible.

Literally just tap the image

Literally doesn't work on my mobile

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

This live action trailer for Astro Bot dropped a short while ago. It's pretty dope!

FOMO CREW!!!! ONE OF US ONE OF US ONE OF US

Seriously, I bought into the FOMO yesterday. No Ragerts.

Video games really are allergic to setting the HDR black level to true zero, this is an ongoing issue with a lot of games

But WHY? Why do so many devs fail to do this?

 

[tommib]

Trunk of Funk This game is fucking incredible.

It’s good to hear a Sony game embracing electronic music/techno culture which was a staple of the whole PlayStation vibe. PlayStation needs more acid house and less pompous orchestral “cinematic” scores.

 

[ManaByte]

Finished the first world and this is the game of the generation.

There's a:

MOTHERFUCKING APE ESCAPE LEVEL!!!!!

FYI, the props for the rescued bots are in the Gacha. I got Parappa's mic and Daxter is in there too.

 

[Jack Videogames]

I sold my ps5 early this year
I bought a slim this morning because of the hype

 

[Radioskugga]

I just got home and been playing for an hour. It's fucking perfection!

 

[ManaByte]

Is that something you unlock?

 

[buenoblue]

Installed and ready to go see you on the other side

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

That Raziel animation at the home hub though And love that my boy Kain is here too! When I say they went all out with the PlayStation love/memories I mean they went ALL.OUT.

I'm still freaking out over the Ape Escape level

My jaw dropped, I couldn't believe it was real

 

[ManaByte]

I'm going through the hardest three weeks of my life right now. And I'm not exaggerating. Two weeks ago tomorrow was literally the worst day of my life and I almost didn't make it through those first few days. Things are improving but my life won't be back to normal for another week at least (hopefully sooner if things keep improving), but this morning the pure distilled joy of Astro Bot is what I needed to get me through another rough weekend before I have to return to work on Monday.

 

[tomato shrub]

tfw finishing each level without a Bloodborne bot in it, increasing the chances for a dedicated level

 

[Osthyvel]

Sony; i also need Rescue Mission Remake for psvr2, and psvr2 needs that.

Ontopic; this might be the best plattformer ever made...

Yeap.

Same pain Im going through man

 

[JORMBO]

I cleared the first world. I really love how the game is always throwing fun and interesting stuff at the player. The only negative is the game is very easy. I only got hit a total of one time clearing the whole first world and didn't miss any jumps.
