Astro Bot is one of the most entertaining and depressing games I've played in ages, showcasing both creative brilliance and the pitfalls of corporate production.
Despite its charming predecessor, Astro's Playroom, this new title left me conflicted about its authenticity and purpose as a full-price game.
Sony's veneration in Astro Bot made sense in a free showcase, but here it feels excessive in a title that already encourages PS5 ownership.
Astro Bot's gameplay is undeniably good, contrasting my disappointment with other recent games, questioning what it means for the future of PlayStation.
