I acknowledge this isn’t indicative of a lot past my sentimentality, however I believed it was an important tidbit to underscore one thing else, one thing essential about PlayStation’s glorious new platformer. It truly is, greater than the rest, a celebration of the consoles and video games that formed me, and certain a lot of you, too. It’s so fully possessed with pleasure and teeming with the lifetime of every little thing that PlayStation has meant to folks through the years. It is usually an excellent platformer in its personal proper, stuffed filled with concepts that make it look like Asobi Workforce is simply getting began on this totally endearing franchise. For all its charms and wonders, nonetheless, there’s additionally a barely melancholy feeling that Astro Bot, which secondarily serves as a form of museum of PlayStation’s historical past, is placing that legacy and the spirit of innovation that outlined it beneath glass to be gazed upon and appreciated as a relic of yesterday, reasonably than to infuse and electrify the video games of right now and tomorrow. — Moises Taveras
