I Made My Wife Play Astro Bot

[@MontyZander]

Based on some of your reactions it looks like some of you did NOT see the Lies of P episode! 😂👇 kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnWzl3Vjrallqc0si=lEotRl3yr913lSYk

[@sabisgambi3818]

In all seriousness, hearing the transition in your videos from “my girlfriend” to “my fiancée” to “my wife” AND THEN HEARING YOU’RE HAVING A KID is beautiful. Congratulations Monty :]

[@epicureanbard]

Absolutely! That was my thought when I heard her talking about the little one kicking in her tummy 🥰

[@atanamorell2]

Yes! Best wishes to the whole, lovely family 😊🥰🥳

[@omgilovesteak6484]

8 years from now... "I made my son play Red Dead Redemption 3!"

[@atanamorell2]

@omgilovesteak6484 that's what I was thinking too 😂

[@porschepal7932]

What makes Astro Bot so great is that not only is he a celebration of everything PlayStation both franchises and hardware, but if you take all that out, make him just a regular cute robot and his generic friends in a spaceship, you are still left with absolutely phenomenal 3d platforming and adorably beautiful environments.

[@badmoose01]

which is what rescue mission basically was

[@marveler8994]

Honestly it's great to have a AAA game come out that's just trying to make people have fun, on top of being adorable and completely innocent

[@mickael486]

Accidentally double jumping off that armadillo was something I only did about a 2 dozen times myself. 💙

[@ralfsstuff]

"Astrobots don't grow little Astrobots in their tummy that are currently kick"... Wait a second... The lore deepens! Congrats to you, Monty🎉 And the Noobus too, of course 🎉

[@evar.7093]

Just came home from an Astrobot hunt and legit, no one has a copy to sell me. Every game store and big box retailer is completely sold out. Even in the next town over, they're sold out! And honestly, I think that speaks to how good the game is (which makes me more excited to finally play the full game).

[@dapperfan44]

That's good to hear. I saw copies in my local Walmart and I was worried.

[@speedboom9392]

I remember an interview with Team Asobi where they said they wanted to improve on Astro’s Playroom by making the gimmicks actually incorporated into the platforming. While the power ups in playroom did demonstrate the dualsense well, they did often break the pace, as good as that game was. They don’t do that here though. You know how I know that? Because I would play a platformer that was solely based on Every. Single. Power up. Here. And the fact that some of them are only used once, gives you a game that literally NEVER gets old throughout the entire journey.

“I made my Astro wife play bot” Banger title

I made my Bot play Astro Wife

[@RodrigoBessa]

Yup!

[@harryelsuciopotter1130]

LMAO I read the same thing 🤣

[@RodrigoBessa]

@@harryelsuciopotter1130 everybody

[@justxander5137]

XD

[@JohnnyCenter25]

20:00 Another thing to note about the boss design here is that the bell has red eyes. It's not just an object, it's an enemy. Your wife picked up on it immediately that "it has red eyes, I need to hit it/kill it" so the bell having those red eyes is a nice way of diageticaly signposting where to hit. Pretty subtle and cool design. Love this game, and love this video/video series for showcasing a play tester's point of view!

[@TheKennyboy92]

Yep the overall game design is just superb.

[@jangreveraars9634]

Been gaming 30+ years and AstroBot is seriously among the GOAT's

[@TheKennyboy92]

yep

[@zooka0619]

this game (especially the entire finale sequence) was enough to make a grown man with bills upon bills just cry 😭

[@ernesto4091]

oh, the fight at the end was peak, and the fake out ending did cause a tingle on me

[@lenaburch6566]

12/10 editing in part 5, absolutely loved it. It was also so fun to see how much the Noobus seemed to enjoy this one, definitely encouraged me to pick up the game!

[@rover_libra]

I love how the name of the last part is also the name of the track that plays during the challenge levels.

[@mattduncan3869]

this game is such an utter delight. There are just too many people in the world determined to be negative about things it's astounding. I'm glad you guys had fun and congratulations to you both on the upcoming child.

[@morbid1.]

"he was terrible child"... it's not about dad but "Les Enfants Terribles" project

[@GustavoFil350]

I'm going through a rough patch and this game is just pure unadulterated joy. I thought I had grown out of platformers since I've been only enjoying narrative driven or multiplayer games for like 2 decades but since I quite enjoyed Astro's Playroom I bought Astro Bot on launch, first game I do this in a couple of years. I'm glad I did because I often realized I was smiling while playing it, just fun for the sake of fun, and I was really taking it in and taking my time so it would last as long as possible. Spent 20 hours to platinum it and it's one of the most well spent money in years for me. I hope it succeeds and we not only get more Astro Bot stuff but other similar games too from Playstation Studios.

[@insanityhawkboy]

I think the only time I clicked faster on a video was when your Soma essay dropped. Can't wait to see what the Noobus thinks of Astro Bot. Love your videos Monty and wish you and the Noobus all the best! ❤

[@HiChessie]

Love the editing for the challenge level

[@HUYI1]

I'm choking with laughter 😂😂😂🤣 it's made my evening lol

[@drgonzo123]

God I hope it does well so Sony knows we want more of THIS! GOTY for sure. Pure joy.

[@baxtermcloughlin2287]

I love this series as it's everything I love about good game design. Veterans and Noobs should be able to enjoy the same games at their own skill levels. I have grown up on Playstation games and it was so fun to see the call backs but also have an Astro Bot take on them. My fiance doesn't know many of the Playstation IPs and yet loves to watch me play the game and gets excited by ever new special bot I find. I have genuinely enjoyed every second of Astro Bot. Levels are challenging while being entirely beatable, controls are so intuitive that every mistake feels soley my own fault and so much thought and care has gone into every aspect of this game. Making the hint bird accessible but also not forced on you, control prompts being noninvasive but easily understandable and so much more! I find myself sitting staring at the game at times just enjoying the music and visuals. 10/10 highly recommended game for sure

[@Danominator]

I love how everyone meeting Rivet in the first level calls her "the other one"

[@jesperj86]

2:36 "astrobots dont grow little astrobots in tummies that are currently kicking" Congratulations! :D In 5 years there will be a new sersies, Noobus Humanus jr.? I made my kid play ...

[@Napo2k]

I wasn't aware of the little astro bot. Congratulations! I am personally looking forward to playing Astro Bot with my own kid

[@patriciasalmon4]

Was so stoked to see you do Astro Bot as part of this series. I’m not into platformers but this was the most delightful thing I’ve played this year and I’m determined to get the Platinum! PS. I love the way you edited the triangle void level section too 🤭

[@NightKnight33]

0:42 I haven’t played Astro Bot AND I’m colorblind so this jab felt extra targeted

[@InsanityDiaries]

OMG YALL ARE HAVING A KIDDO!!!! 💜💜💜💜 CONGRATULATIONS!!! I've been following since the first Noobus Humanus and omg I'm so happy to have been on this ride, I'm so happy for you both!!! Sweetest of blessings and a Ka Pai (good job!) from a kiwi witch 💜

[@DenRo82]

i jsut saw that you are missing the 4 extra bots you get if you find them first in astros playroom so all in all its 305 to find ^^ and i love your videos kind of reviews to all these i made her play xyz you two are great!

[@speedboom9392]

You got a name? AS-TRO BOT!!!!

[@sabrina0013]

Your editing on this series is sooo clean and engaging. I'm honestly blown away

[@EnIiIeNgEl]

Only started the video, but it already made my day❣

[@jackhustwayte4567]

I made my astro wife play bot

[@yordlejay6820]

YES! THIS IS GENIUS

[@AngryDuck79]

Dude, the Pt5 music is kicking off. Giving DaftPunk vibes lol

[@jonahkey9313]

I love that you made this video. Astro is so under appreciated, especially the music. There was this one song from astros playroom from the gpu jungle that was so good

[@ace1diots]

This is so delightful!! It sparks joy :D !!!

[@candacea749]

This series is absolute gold! Thank you for continuing to post these! I've seen other "impersonators" but the chemistry between you and your wife cannot be duplicated. Congratulations on your new bundle of joy! I cannot wait for the next series to arrive "I made my son/daughter play..." OR "My son/daughter kicked my butt at..." Super excited for you both! PS. Your editing skills and script writing has greatly improved since the first video in this series. It was so easy to watch, the flow was mesmerizing and clean. Great job!

[@speedboom9392]

This year in gaming may have been…weird. But it gave me two of my favorite video games of all time. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and this so honestly I can’t really be too mad.

[@KenBladehart]

>frog gloves power-up allows you to attack from far away >she still run up to the enemies ... indeed...

[@alialmuhanna4938]

8:52 I love it when Astro says “Thank you !”

[@arcanefury3666]

Bro your title is giving me "dont dead open inside vibes"

[@madeleinebraham7500]

Look, I never got the chance to play many video games as a kid, but as someone who was always online anyway, I'd become vaguely familiar (but not nearly an expert). I moved in recently with some roommates who collected PS consoles and grew up on the games, and I had sat in on a few sessions of their playthrough of the game... I might not have understood everything, but it was still a really good time! That little guy is so rad and appealing, I think he's the perfect place for new PS fans to start!

[@Pimpgamer101]

20:20 there’s also a bit of unnatural shininess on the bell after the energy waves are over to draw your attention.

[@Carn_Is_Done]

This was great to see someone enjoying Astro Bot even without the nostalgia. And she sounded cute too. Best wishes to your family. :)

[@bennettcarlson3974]

You should try Nine Sols! Considering she liked hollow knight but had issues with sekiro, it would be interesting to see what she thinks of it.

[@johngregsonguitar]

Easily my favourite series on YT - every update is such a JOY!

[@RevanMaverick]

This video was so much fun! I have to get my sister to play Astro Bot and see what she thinks. I'm loving each galaxy and how unique they all are. Playing a new cutting edge 3D platformer in 2024 just brightens my mood.

[@Mister_Kage]

Your wife is officially better at video games than DarksydePhil

[@GuruMeditationError]

Huge congrats on the imminent addition to your family! No I did not see the lies of P episode :)

[@speedboom9392]

7:33 “Things like to be hit in this universe” She’s not wrong. Sorry about so many comments, I just love Astro Bot so much! I hope I’m not bothering.

[@MoonSpiritChannel]

Glad you let your wife play this game. Game's a wholesome, heckin cute game.

[@NeroZeroScorpion]

Hi-Fi RUSH when? i think that one would be fun tho.

[@thomassewell9602]

Mr Monty! I implore you to have your wife experience SOMA alongside you. Your video essay was absolutely magnificent and I’m extremely curious how she will tackle the existential crisis coaster that is SOMA!

[@manysides2340]

Her sense of child-like wonder with the games is adorable

[@KodasGarden]

god the GPU Jungle theme is so goooood Also the Noobus did incredible!

[@Macktube]

This was lovely to watch. It's such a great game. I wish you would have let her play the Mouse Level where she shrinks, she would have loved that.😅 Or the Rapping tree that he tells you to get in his mouth.😂

[@Lonely_Gamer85]

This is what Astro Bot is about. Btw she really was in need of learning the charged spin😂.

[@Johnytomm]

"Uh, well, he killed his dad" lmao great video. I've spoiled myself a little by watching this but im nearly finished with the game anyways

[@RougeMephilesClone]

That was a lovely little romp.

[@aaronlobo1347]

Yet another amazing video... Cant wait to see the noobus travel west and explore wukong....

[@RegrettableDeed]

I love that Astro Bot proves that companies BESIDES Nintendo can make fun and whimsical 3D Action Platformers. We need more like Astro Bot

[@rawdoncat8326]

Not gonna lie, this has been a joy to watch, I am curious how she would feel about a game like stardew valley

[@LostboyUk]

I did not care about the nostalgia…except for that ape escape level…that got me, it was just great on it’s own, that could have been 300 plain white astrobots to rescue and I would have still loved it.

[@torugolago]

Your accents are lovely, and congrats on the little one coming soon!

[@Robiertateistearonamientó]

I love asto bot its a game that I can play in from of my siblings and it’s just an amazing time

[@tanman729]

in tune with the rumblings for 8 months..hmmm...noobus humanus babycus? XP

[@SidPhoenix2211]

Already seen this early on account of the Patreon, but dropping a comment to boost the video! This was a REALLY fun video. It was great to see Noobus REALLY get into this game. You don't have to make a video on it if you don't want to, but I think that she might enjoy APE OUT. It has a diferent vibe than AstroBot, but it's simple mechanical nature and exciting gameplay might appeal to her. It's a short game with BEAUTIFUL art and a top-tier reactive soundtrack. It is top-down, and quite arcady. It has a VERY simple combat system that's easy to pick up, but it remains challenging. And to top it off, it has one of THE BEST ENDINGS to ANYTHING I've ever played or seen. DEF check it out. And if you haven't played it... Check it out, too!

[@sandwichboy1268]

Giving her Fragile Frenzy after admitting she over-relies on the lasers was cruel

[@mabman3235]

Love to see the GPU singing in that last part!

[@SophiaScragg-hz3mm]

For this guy's wife The one you got from the start of the video is Psycho Mantis. He's a boss from Metal Gear Solid for the PS1. His whole boss fight is that he breaks the fourth wall by reading your memory card and makes your controller vibrate, and you have to plug in your controller to port 2.
