I think my biggest frustration is that I don't have time for this game right now, because I'm currently going through a backlog of games I've been meaning to play. Hilariously, one of my backlog games is Astro Bot: Rescue Mission for the PSVR. Had a lot of fun playing Astro's Playroom and I was genuinely happy when they announced a longer follow up game to it.

Good review; the comparisons to 3D Mario games are not only warranted but outright unavoidable.

I actually did a double take at first because I was confused seeing someone else review a PlayStation 5 game on HG in the year 2024.

Thanks for reading! My PS5 controller is giving me fits and I'm not anxious to spend money buying another one right now, so I'm not sure how many more PS5 games I'll be playing in the near future. Thankfully, it held out long enough to get me through Astro Bot, but it's not good now for precision platforming when Astro Bot randomly wants to run off to the left and I have to compensate for that on top of the optional Void stages I haven't fully cleared (they're pretty tough; think the special challenge stages in Super Mario Sunshine).

What if something appears that shouldn't? You either dismiss it, or you accept that there is much more to the world than you think. Perhaps it really is a doorway, and if you choose to go inside, you'll find many unexpected things." - Shigeru Miyamoto on secret doors to another world2
