IGN's Simon Cardy awarded Astro Bot a stellar 9/10, describing it as one of the most joyful gaming experiences: "Astro Bot made me smile from beginning to end. A collection of endlessly inventive levels and fantastically fun abilities, it delivers joy in spades, never once becoming even remotely dull or repetitive. And while you don’t need a long history with Sony systems to enjoy it, it is especially a delight for those with a piece of PlayStation in their heart as a treasure trove full of playable nostalgia awaits."
Cardy further praised the game by saying, "Taking the PS5 marketing mantra that 'play has no limits' more seriously than you’d expect, Team Asobi has crafted a mascot platformer that goes near enough toe-to-toe with Nintendo's best efforts, and that's about as high a compliment as I can give it."
For those still undecided about investing in a PS5, this bundle provides a strong incentive. Astro Bot not only showcases the capabilities of the PS5 but also celebrates everything PlayStation does best, making it an ideal introduction to Sony's current-generation hardware.
