I'm just being stubborn. I need get that gold flag on stage or I can't move on.
It helps that stages are not very long, I can easily replay a stage fast and get the bots and puzzles pieces I missed.

Adoring the game so far. Wasn't really buying into the hype for the first two worlds, but once I got into world 3 the game really started to click for me and leave me in awe.
Small thing, but I'm digging some of the dualsense custom colors. Makes me wish more now than ever that Sony would launch its own design lab!

This game came at the perfect time for me.
I've been in a real gaming rut. Some of that is probably me trying to play quantity over quality and some of that is big name games really letting me down of late.
Astro Bot is just simple fun.
Gorgeous visuals, great audio, cute and well designed characters and enemies, varied and unique gameplay and controller gimmicks, cool little secrets and surprises.
It's not super addictive like my favourite games, not something I feel I want to rave to my mates about and tell them they need to play it, but a game I can just sit there and play with a big smile on my face.

Where'd you get Psvr for 75 bucks?

I just beat my first boss. I'm having a blast with the game. Sleeper hit, it is one of the best games I've played this gen and I've played some great games so far.

I find that if I don't get everything before moving on, then I have a high chance of never coming back after reaching the end. I also prefer to get that stage complete while it is fresh in my mind. Then once it is done, I don't have to think about it again.
I've only done triangle and square so far. All the squares were far easier than that one triangle. That triangle may be the hardest in the game?

Sounds like a bug to me. I've changed the color on mind and it has stuck between game boots

Odd. I'll have to check next time I play, but I'm pretty sure mine has been keeping to what I select.

The duel sense vibrations paired with the speaker do a good job convincing me that I am rolling a bunch of tiny dice around in my hands.
Gimmicky yes but fun for this kind of game.
Remapping the gyro to the stick and no touchpad use means this can be ported to PC with little to no control issues.
But I think whatever is being used for the vibration should be copied in other controller manufacturers. No more buzzing spinning weights.

Ported, sure, but without the DS features I think the game looses quite a bit of its unique feel. Are DS haptics currently supported on PC?

This borrows so much from Mario that it even has a terrible water level
I loved the water level. Nice open area and amazing music
Got some real dire dire docks vibes

Moderated wildly
I've not even got chance to play it properly yet and there's people posting they have all the bots.

Getting to 200 bots (so you see the end credits) is pretty easy and can be done rather quickly if you're so inclined.
But getting to 300... some of those challenge levels I will not be able to conquer very soon. I guess I'm getting old. Also, finding that final puzzle piece in the home hub was quite infuriating (but relieving when you finally figure it out).

They are afraid of losing important shadow detail because of users using bad settings on their displays.

Toughest challenge in the game, took me about 15 attempts (spoilers for the last bot you unlock, you've been warned, it's a good one...)
Got the plat earlier today, still gathering my thoughts before making a long, epic post but for now I'll just say GOTY

Jaffe trying (and failing) to be funny as usual, he angled the light under Astro so it looks like a red laser penis, imagine playing a game like this and *going out of your way* to take a screenshot like that, I think the dude has lost all his marbles.

Yes, that is odd.
I thought Splashing Sprint was the most difficult, but that's only because:
I didn't realise you could throw the duck at the first missile 
Would be quite fun to have to do all the challenges back to back, like a Champion's Road type level.

I've been taking my time with Astro Bot due to irl commitments, etc., but I just wanted to drop by and say that this game is such a joy to play.

It's hard to put down if you have the free time

Same here. Even just going back to the title screen and reloading the save will revert it to default. I thought it was just the way it works.

Might be the best game Sony has ever put out. And I'm not even halfway through.

100%'d World 1 over the weekend and that's it. Im gonna slow roll the fuck out of this one. It's magical and once it's over, it's over. Gotta savor as much as possible.

Are there any time based challenges? This doesn't look too hard, obviously I haven't tried it yet but at least looking at it.

No, Kirby the Forgotten Land was mostly time based challenge….some of them were super strict….you almost had no room for error if you want to get the best time.

Nothing time based.
Don't worry about the challenges. They're good fun. Nothing too hard; you just need to get the timing down.

Thats an Oxytocin or something.
There are a few time based things in the game. One of them is Time based. Which has a time limit.
Timey Whymey stuff.

Ha! Isn't Oxycotin the morphine substitute?
Oxymoron, I presume.
To clarify, nothing time-based where you have a restricted time to complete a task.
The challenge levels feature timed activities, in terms of rhythm and getting the 'beat' of the level.
