So, am I the only one with a blank “bonus contents” code in my retail copy? Bought from GameStop in Canada.
I just want the avatars.

Christ.
This is already something special.
You young fucks better realize something like this only comes about like every 15-20 years.

Is there somewhere I can find a list of the references, because I’m not sure which characters are like homages to other games and which aren’t - such as the big King Kong boss and the alien? Are these from older Sony titles?

Vibri bot alone makes it the best level.

No, those bosses are original characters that first appeared in Astro Bot Rescue Mission (if you don't have a PSVR, I would still recommend watching some gameplay).

You mean Tears of the Kingdom?

Either or. As long we’re in agreement they’re both 9th gen games. Tears did nothing for me though.

Botw released on the WiiU like a few months before Switch.
After the first few hours of this game, I’m loving it, but I also feel like maybe a platformer can’t be the only game I’m playing. After about 4ish levels or so I wanna play something else for a bit. Like this will be my 20s something side bitch. Ha!

Pretty sure it released same day as the Switch version. At least it did in the US.

Just played the opening hour. The game looks awesome. I like that there's tons of little physics objects and when you run through them they make cool sound effects. Sounds great in the Pulse3D headset.

So finally got through the first boss. Gotta say this game is pure amazing fun. Is it easy yea but I don't care. I'm old. It's fun and has me smiling the entire time playing it. The homages to other franchises and companies even and to playstation's past are so good. You can tell it was made with love. Without a doubt so far it's in my list for GOTY.

I already made it to over 200 bots (started to play at Friday midnight local time). There's soooo much I want to gush about, but I guess I must wait for the rest of you to catch up. Needless to say, the game is fucking fantastic. The last "parody of/tribute to a game" stage, whatever you think about the franchise is irrelevant, what Team Asobi did with the remix of the main theme is just incredible. The OST is pure fire.

49 bots saved. I was trying to get 50 before bed but Im worn out. That was a lot in one sitting.
I beat the first big boss, took me a few tries. I think Ive found most of the bots puzzles and warps in this first Galaxy.
I used the flower radar thing before I noticed it had a cost. Is that considered wimping out?

The casino world with the slow down time ability is 
This game is pure joy. Having lives or an on-screen UI would get in the way.
Also, punching the rescued bots on the island is hilarious. They do some pretty funny stuff. Snake?

Did you all notice there are unique idle animations depending on the stage "theme"? Another fantastic detail to a game already packed to high heaven with charm

I thought it was all very easy too. Then I unlocked the circle and triangle stages.
The game is awesome, btw. My daughter, who is a bit too young to properly play it, even enjoys watching it a lot. She also loves tossing the bots around with the controller every time i save one.
I also like the robot bird. Instead of endlessly replaying levels to find the one thing you missed, it's fun to redo them like this.

I'ts unbelievable, annoying and frustrating that even a billion dollar company like Sony with their high-end AAA studios full of artists, programmers and technicians can't get a simple black level setting right in their huge multi year projects. And this happens again and again. It can't be this hard!
