Press Opinions on Astro Bot
Press reviews are a useful way to get a quick sense of the response to Astro Bot, but what exactly do international reviewers have to say? On average, we can only read praise, given the reviews, of course. The “worst” reviews express opinions like “Astro Bot for PS5 is a delightful expansion of everything fans loved about Astro’s Playroom, offering more levels, power-ups, and the impressive DualSense features.”
And also “With Astro Bot we finally have a real complete release of a Team Asobi game that has nothing to envy from other platformers.” Incidentally, this opinion comes from an 8/10, the lowest on the net.
The criticisms leveled at the game are on average the low level of difficulty, with few challenging moments and the doubt on the growth possibilities of this franchise.
