Current Events > That Astrobot game on PS5 is so incredibly charming

(+) Yeah! (+)

I've played about a third of it I guess but I love all the Playstation fan service. Kinda funny that this is more the feeling I wanted from their dumb Smash Bros clone but here it is for a glorified tech demo game.

It's not as good as Rescue Mission so far but how can you not smile when you see a little robot recreating being a victim of the Origami Killer. Seeing some really deep cuts and I'm not even recognizing all of them.

I like the haptics and vibrations but I don't think it's mindblowing as much as some people seem to think it is. The vibration is like a more refined HD rumble on Switch. The triggers felt cool for that rocket ship section but for most of the sections it feels more like a trigger on a controller that's getting wonky and doesn't press as smooth anymore heh. I haven't played anything else yet with it though.

Its the game I want to play the most just to check out what the controller can do. What's the most obscure reference you noticed?

There's been some space ships flying around and I'm not sure what it's referincing. By the ships it looks like some sort of PS1 game but I'm not sure.

But stuff like ICO and Gravity Rush get a shoutout along with some obscure accessories like the Playstation Mouse and all of the multitaps lol.
