Astro Bot is the third platformer starring Sony ’s new unofficial robot mascot.

The game is packed full of references to PlayStation history.

Astro Bot's reverence for the PlayStation brand occasionally feels forced, but it's such a thrill for the 10 or so hours it takes to finish that I think it's a must-play for any PS5 owner.

It's a great 3D platformer with beautiful visuals and catchy tunes.

Asobi 's penchant for colorful whimsy shines through in Astro Bot , which is one of the prettiest games on PS5.

While the game looks amazing visually and runs at a solid 60 frames per second , it’s got a constant, every-every-few-seconds stutter that I noticed right away.

I was able to quickly get used to it and enjoy the game regardless, but it can be seriously distracting if you think about it too much.
