In 2018, it felt right to take the plunge and get a VR headset. I saw the PSVR bundle that included Moss and this game for $250 and that felt like a steal to get my first real taste at first generation VR. I was not disappointed and I owe that in large part to this game.
In my mind this is the must own game for PSVR. This is the closest a Playstation property has come to feeling like a Nintendo game. Astro Bot and Mario Mario could be cousins!
For me the highlights was how the game really utilizes VR to take a platformer to the next level. Unlike traditional games spatial awareness is vital, and you'll often be twisting and turning in your seat to guide Astro Bot around you in the 3D world. All of the set pieces encountered were expertly designed and fine crafted to really take advantage of then thrills unique to VR--enemies come rushing at you or grow to a frightening scale or take you to a dizzying height where for a few seconds your lizard brain is tricked into believing that's actually occuring.
I can't speak more highly of this game. If you have even a passing interest in platformers or you just want to be charmed, get this game!
