An incredibly fun and detailed demo that showcases what the new PS5 controller is capable of. I do not doubt for a single second that game developers will take advantage of its refreshing power.

Very surprised how much I appreciated Astro's Playroom on my PS5. In fact this is the first game I played and got the platinum on my new system despite having Demon's Soul and Spier-Man Miles Morales ! It's an hommage to PlayStation's gaming history. Very cute and well executed, the game life won't exceed 5 to 6 hours depending on how eager you want to play it before playing beefier games on your system. I was truly enchanted by the time spent on the various environments and how much fun I had to play with its simple mechanics. It's really playing a Super Mario 64 but on a PlayStation system. The game is preinstalled on the system so you don't even have to buy it ... well the console is 500 bucks so in a way it's quite an expensive game haha ! It makes the dualsense controler shine in every aspect in showing in which direction Sony expects gaming to go. I hopre the numerous features of the dualsense will be harnessed in future games besides the ones of Sony.

This has ended up being one of my games of the year, loved this! The perfect package to introduce you to the PS5. Loved the artefacts coming together to make a sort of Playstation museum. As someone who has been playing since PS1 it was a proper nostalgia fest.
