User Review : ASTRO BOT: Rescue Mission

The Closest Thing To 4D That I Can Imagine - MAGICAL!!

I won't be long winded here but...

Astro Bot is truly a mesmerizing experience. I can't give enough praise to Sony for their ingenious way of utilizing the Playstation VR. This is Sony wanting to dominate the platforming market while subconsciously thanking Nintendo through the emotions you feel delivered as you play this game.

YOU HAVE NEVER witnessed virtual reality like this before and that's not even hype.

One concern I thought I was going to have was doing too much of the same things in the game but little did I know, every level and world kept getting better and better and for those who don't know (the colorful flowers that open up, mimick you, go face to face with them). Something I'd like to mention is, I played this for hours and not one moment of motion sickness.

I want so badly to talk about the levels but I'll let you experience that; just know that this is mindless, over the top, bring the kid screaming out of you, no thinking, just have NEXT LEVEL QUALITY FUN!

Astrobot For the Playstation VR is Iconic and Astrobot is VR's Mascot...

Firewall, Resident Evil, Wipeout, Moss, Superhot are all great and immersive but this game is the new standard for what VR is capable of.

If I could, I would buy everyone a Playstation VR just to experience this. DO NOT MISS OUT on the incredible masterpiece that will surely be the new standard.

Graphics
These are the best graphics on Playstation VR but looks alone aren't enough, it's how these graphics are integrated is what will get you.

Every level has music that seems like it's a perfect fit for the stage. Sony knows music and the sounds in this game is a great compliment to the level design and what

Gameplay
You can tell the designers thought about the old platformers and said to themselves, "we need to make Shigeru Miyamoto proud when he sees this, something NEXT GEN". That's exactly what was delivered. Sounds like too much hype right? Believe me, it's an experience that's

Fun Factor
VR is here to stay and when it comes to pure fun this is the Go to game. I've had so much fun with this game and everyone that we bring to our game room loves it.

Online
As you progress through the game you'll notice how the game seems to get crisper, I believe the developers created stages that stood out more and more as the game went on. There's so much detail in everything and it's incredible what they've accomplished. The best looking PSVR game yet.

Absolutely an amazing game and experience. I can’t recall the last time I was in awe over a game.

derek2788d ago

THIS × 100. Nothing like it out there. Truly revelatory.

fr0sty2795d ago

A truly wonderful game, one of the best platformers ever made, and definitely the most innovative.

5 Best PSVR Games That Need PSVR 2 Ports

Alongside big hitters like Horizon Call of the Mountain, Gran Turismo 7 and Resident Evil Village, PSVR 2 is already home to some of the best PSVR games and experiences, like Moss and Tetris Effect. Better yet, some ports like Job Simulator, Song in The Smoke and Pistol Whip offer free cross-generation upgrades if you bought them for the original PSVR.

There are many PSVR titles we’d love to see leap onto PlayStation VR2. Here's our pick.

ApocalypseShadow1195d ago (Edited 1195d ago )

True indeed. Great picks. I'd also like Raw Data remastered, LA Noire, Iron Man, Arch Angel, Mortal Blitz and many others. We'll see what gets ported over time.

SullysCigar1195d ago

There are so many that would benefit from a PSVR2 facelift with all the bells and whistles.

To add to your list, I'd also like: Hitman 1-3, Xing: The Land Beyond, The Room: VR, Red Matter, Farpoint, Until Dawn: Rush of Blood, The Persistence, To the Top, Until You Fall, Arashi: Castles of Sin, Sniper Elite VR, Fracked, Dreams - I'm sure there are loads I've forgotten!

IAMTHEVOID1195d ago

To add a sixth game to that list I need on ps vr2 is Vader Immortal

Abnor_Mal1195d ago

Did anyone ever play Robinson: The Journey?

Oh and to add to the list I’d definitely put Bravo Team up for porting to PS5. I don’t understand why that game got so much flak when the only problem was the camera zooming out from first to third person when you had to move locations.

Other ports I would like to see wake its way over at some point would be DWVR, Immortsl Legacy, The Mages Tale, Killing Floor Incursion. Never played although I know I own them Unearthing Mars1/2 and Budget Cuts. Doom and Skyrim VR I’m not holding my breath on but would be nice.

EverydayJoe1193d ago

I did. Was a beautiful game for its time.

MIDGETonSTILTS171195d ago (Edited 1195d ago )

I would just add SUPERHOT.

Great list otherwise.

I’d easily pay $10 for an upgrade for any of these games, or full price for a vr2 version if I don’t own it yet.

Idc if the games are brand new, just as long as they work for my new headset.

Please update and take my money, devs 💰

Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition to be FREE starting April 19

Damn awesome. I doubt any other game company ever gave away so many games completely free.

CaptainHenry9161907d ago (Edited 1907d ago )

It sounds like Sony is also more serious about PS now. They're investing and working with this cloud base company. I'm waiting for them to add PS now to PS+. PSNow has over 800 games on there 🤔. Sony need to start marketing that

darthv721907d ago

Would that cloud based company be... Microsoft? https://www.engadget.com/20...

CaptainHenry9161907d ago (Edited 1907d ago )

They been working with Microsoft with Azure? What's your point? The Bloomberg article was just posted today. They're working with Ubitus as well

VenomUK1907d ago

Better than a punch in the face.

bouzebbal1907d ago

Moss is amazing.. But short

Drithe1907d ago

PS now should have always been a part of psplus

Babadook71907d ago

"Moss is amazing.. But short"

Have you played the DLC?

NecrumOddBoy1907d ago

Let me be the first to say, if you haven’t played The Witness... do NOT read or look up anything about it and just dive in. Absolutely the best open world puzzle game in ages; probably since Myst. It will really bend your mind. It’s buttery smooth on PS5. I am replaying it now (platinum’d’ it on PS4).

Don’t spoil anything for yourself and just let it take you for an experience.

oakshin1907d ago

Yea why not....I'll take your advice but I have one question how much puzzle variety does it have?

JangoMan1907d ago

Now u know how gamers with XboxGamePass feel when AAA titles appear in the list. Its great that Sony is doing it to. In the end its happy us! The Gamers

I played Zero Dawn Main story, this will be great time to play DLCs as well.

RazzerRedux1907d ago

Do Game Pass gamers know how that feels without paying anything? No, they don't.

chiefJohn1171907d ago (Edited 1907d ago )

They get a small taste, this like a drop of water compared to the tank of gamepass. HZD like the only aaa on that list and let's be real EVERY PS owner on this site already played and bought it.

Willelmus1907d ago

MS Gave away tons of games over the years. I doubt that if they ever did it Sony would do anything.

But they have been slacking lately because of Gamepass.

Terry_B1907d ago

Huh? When did they gave away games for free and which ones?

darthv721907d ago

^halo 5 was free, gears 5 was free (recently too) too human was free, phantom dust... and a few others I cant think of right now.

And yes those were totally free. You can prob find the articles about it on N4G.

Master of Unlocking1907d ago

Awesome, yes. Especially considering the fact that this time, I don't already own most of these games. Horizon Zero Dawn being the exception. It's gonna be long and tedious to finish the game again, as my save file of the NTSC-J version I have probably won't be compatible with the Pal version of the game that I'll be getting, but definitely worth it ultimately since I'll finally get to play the Frozen Wilds expansion!

S2Killinit1907d ago (Edited 1907d ago )

They are indeed. Moss and Astrobot (of course) blew me away.

Muzikguy1907d ago

I know I'll be getting The Witness. Not sure about any others

Imortus_san1907d ago

Free for those that dont pay PS Plus?

First R&C and now Horizon?Sony arent dumb they know what theyre doing.Give people a taste and hook them in to get them warmed up for the sequel.

LucasRuinedChildhood1907d ago

With all the extra people playing Horizon, it would be great if this made it easier for them to justify a 60fps patch as well

Amazing gesture from Sony. Litrelly just bought astro vr a few days ago and have yet to play but I can't complain so many games there I don't own.

LucasRuinedChildhood1907d ago

As long as you didn't download it, you can request a refund

ocelot071907d ago

I bought a bundle code on eBay that included Skyrim and astrobit,doom,wipeout and another game.

monkey6021907d ago

I bought Enter the Gungeon recently but hadn't even downloaded it. Had never trued to get a refund for something before so chanced it last night. Sony rejected it on the basis that I bought it 15 days ago and the window for refunds is 14 ha feckers

LucasRuinedChildhood1907d ago

@monkey602

That sucks man. Something similar happened with me for Control Ultimate Edition. Well hey, you win some, you lose some.

The only reason that I didn't mention the 2 week rule to ocelot07 is because he only bought astro vr a few days ago.

Phoenix761907d ago

Astrobot rescue mission is absolutely fantastic with VR. Wipe out is good, moss looked stunning and skyrim......... Well....... Less said about VR version the better really. Bad blurry visuals. But I haven't tried it yet on the ps5, so may have an improvement.

RazzerRedux1907d ago

"But there’s more to come later this spring. Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition will be available for free download between April 19 8:00pm Pacific Time and May 14 8:00pm Pacific Time."

Awesome game. Can't wait for the sequel.
