Reminder: Early & ad-free access to my next proper video (Ape Escape) is dropping soon for Patrons and YT Members – if you want to catch it early and help support the channel, do the thing! My review of the new Astro Bot game will drop Thursday, 9/5, once the embargo is lifted (as noted in the video, a review copy for that game was provided by PlayStation).
I remember playing that shuriken minigame with my cousins who had the camera, cool to see Astro Bot evolve into a proper franchise. Those gauntlet levels also look really fun.
Games for kids are important. If you abandon that audience to Nintendo, when they grow up some may come over to Sony for more mature games, but a large amount will stay with Nintendo because they have all their nostalgia there. The true "modern audience" are the kids, the next generation of players.
I used to work as promotional staff in electronics stores and there were like 3 or 4 VR games that always drew a crowd, Astro Bot Rescue Mission was never one of them. People understandably asked what was even the point of a VR 3D platformer, and never gave the game a fair chance. The few kids that did however loved it, and while I was more of a R.I.G.S. guy myself, Astro Bot Rescue Mission always managed to get me to come back. It was a great game locked behind an expensive VR Headset in an era with a ton of great games. A sequel on a popular console that doesn't require a peripheral was the best thing they could do for Astro Bot and I for one am delighted
i appreciate all the costco fanservice golden
EHHHH 70 pound for this game tho Meh wait till it's on sale next year then play smarter choice
There are games like this every other week on Nintendo platforms. The only reason it seems so amazing is if you only ever play on PlayStation or to an even greater extent Xbox. That’s not to say it’s not a cool, cute and fun game with neat ideas but pick out any recent Kirby game and there is just as much to like about that as there is in this. It’s a nice game that’s it, sorry that’s such a weird concept for you
Your comment about parents struggling with newer games reminds me that my father installed both the first computers and the first video game on his ship in the Navy. Specifically, a PAC Man arcade cabinet. The CO eventually installed a cage on the thing because it was such a distraction.

Very few games made me feel like a kid again, this was one of them and I am forever grateful for that!
A beautiful clean game! Love the switch from desert to waterpark/glacial.
One of the greatest games I've ever played
Sony shut down team asobi studio 😂
I was there when we jumped from 2D to 3D
0:56 the disrespect 💀💀💀
Would you do a Rayman 2 retrospective ever?
Unfortunately, every single one of the Astro Bot games requires hardware that I have literally no other reason to obtain. Outside of some freebies given out during a promotion years ago, the only other game I ever thought of for PS4 VR was that Psychonauts midquel… which is doubly sad, because Astro Bot himself was one of those freebies. And PS5? The only non-Astro game I ever had an interest in got released on Steam a while back, and I'll end up with a PC up to par with its specs eventually!
The same was almost the case with the PS Move having Heroes on the Move… but then I found a remote at a garage sale. And there was a used Move camera for cheap. And the actual game was very cheap too. All at the same time. It all added up to a normal low-end price. Somehow I doubt the same will happen with the VR components, and especially the PS5.
I mean Max Mustard has already tested the waters after Astro Bot for the VR Collect-athon platformer
Astro world is like a love child to all ps owners of all shapes and sizes
I want an Atro Bot 2 but with more mini games/tech demos. Imagine Astro Bot Party like mario party
I hate that its so hard to access rescue mission, showing my friends how good it is is a difficult process when they can’t even play it

I saw the title and came to slam you for disregarding the VR game. Thank God SOMEONE remembers VR existed and Astrobot is the best PSVR game there is (besides resident evil 7)
I was fortunate enough to want to get the PSVR1 because I already had 2 games that were VR ready and when I thought Ace Combat was going to be VR as well. I already had the Wipeout Collection, and NMS.. plus small hope Elite Dangerous would get VR on the PS4. When I fooled around with the VR playroom demo… just had to get Rescue Mission. I even paced myself to only completing one world a week because I didn't want the enjoyment of playing the game to end too quickly 😂. Astro Bot Rescue Mission is so very worth it!
The most things PSVR2 people have been saying …. please please please port the top PS4 game and THE best PSVR1 game over to PSVR2 FFS, it's s no brainer, I'm sure 90% of people who have owned it on PSVR1 would pay again for it at a £30 price tag, it's only a port ….
Wow, watching this video made me realize that it seems like the “new” Astro Bot game is just a straight up remake of Rescue Mission. There wasn’t a single thing I saw in the video that wasn’t also in Astro Bot. I’m not complaining, it’s just interesting that so few people played Rescue Mission that hardly anyone can draw those comparisons. And I’m glad that what was once a niche but beloved VR title is now a highly acclaimed GOTY contender.
If Playstation All Star 2 ever comes back, I’ll be expecting AstroBot to be in the roster
