Astro's Playroom (PS5) Review | VGChartz

VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "Despite clinging to some underwhelming gimmicks, Astro’s Playroom is a cute-n-capable platformer and a respectable assemblage of PlayStation antiquity included in every PS5."

“One of the funniest (or saddest) comparisons I can't help but make is the insane difference between this full-on PS5 exclusive and the PS4's own platformer exclusive: Knack
When it comes to mascots it comes back to one thing: character. From the dressed-up robots acting out visual vignettes to Astro’s light-blue cape, there's a whimsical nature bursting at the seams here which I never felt from that hideous rock golem.”

Would Poochie to Baby Yoda be a fair comparison?

coolbeans1255d ago

Haha... maybe not the worst comparison. The thing I liked about Poochie was The Simpson's responding to the idea of 'cool' being the only character trait in a mascot. Knack's bland delivery of outdated phrases doesn't even amount to cool for me imo. Part of the reason I gave up early on those games is how uninteresting he sounds & feels.

Astro to Baby Yoda is almost 1:1 in likeability.

30 clicks to see 30 games, with only half a paragraph worth of information for a game judging by the first on the list. No thanks.

Some pretty dope indies could've made this list to.

gold_drake365d ago

the messenger is rly good ha.

repsahj366d ago

Awesome list! I agree 100%.

rippermcrip366d ago

Returnal honorable mention reason is dumb. It is a single player game with optional coop. Just like Elden Ring which is in the list.

VersusDMC366d ago

Coop wasn't even available till after a year after launch...by that reasoning ghost of tsushima(legends) wouldn't count?

jznrpg366d ago

Returnal is so fun solo I won’t ever try the co-op. It would be too easy imo

Abear21366d ago (Edited 366d ago )

Ratchet and Clank and Horizon are my picks. Miles and GoW are gathering virtual dust on the SSD. Good games just not as addicting as those imo. Returnal is best if you’re into that challenge.

DivineHand125366d ago

No uncharted :( I had a blast playing the legacy of thieves collection at 120 fps.
