This is 100% my type of game and I hope it sells a bajillion times more copies than Concord to remind the industry and the gaming public as a whole that games don't have to be such dour, political agenda-riddled depression fests all the time. The interactivity and physics also ironically make Astro Bot feel more "quadruple-A" (in a good way) than most games that have slightly more stunning and realistic graphics, but otherwise have the interactivity, freedom and physics system of a bad licensed PS1 game from 1996.

@@monopoman Yeah, unfortunately there's a massive difference between being critically-acclaimed and being a commercial success, and so far Sony seems to have knee-capped the game's success in Japan (where I would imagine a more-whimsical game like this would do better) by drastically increasing the price of the base PS5, not that a constantly-on-the-move culture like Japan would really want a home console or anything not as portable as the Switch or smartphones either way.

I almost wish I hadn't gotten a PS5 as a surprise gift last Christmas. I would have been spared the emotional rollercoaster that is Sony in 2024 (not that I would have been spared the emotional rollercoaster of the 2024 US Election, but at least I would have had only one emotional rollercoaster to deal with this year instead of two). Unfortunately, Astro Bot's impact is already being diminished by Sony's catastrophic decisions elsewhere. For example, it is bombing in Japan because Sony inflated the price of a PS5 there by a whopping $200 (Imagine paying around $699 just for the base PS5, not even the PS5 Pro), further proving they have abandoned the Japanese market. Dunkey and MoistKritikal are probably making videos of this game right now in a desperate attempt to ensure it at least sells well in Western countries. The last thing we need from Sony is to be disappointed in Astro Bot's sales and conclude they need to remake Concord for another 8+ years and double the budget of the original to win gamers back--and only make it playable on the PS7 Pro Max Overdrive retailing at $6,990,000 (PS7 Pro Max Overdrive not included with price).

Dunkey’s daughter waving back at Astro bot is the most adorable thing ever!

[@vslazer6728]

As soon as I found Knack in this game I knew a Dunkey video was sure to follow. It did not disappoint.

[@Wackamole56]

I thought the exact same thing!

[@tracycummings278]

Cool that developers are making polished games for younger audiences. Whimsical cute games for younger kids shouldn't be limited to Nintendo and once in a few years for PC.

[@lumburgapalooza]

It's actually very clever that you beat the monkey boss by destroying its teeth. Simians rely on their teeth to break down and digest food and so without them they will starve to death. It's cool to see a studio implement obscure zoological knowledge into a boss fight!

I believe this game is Astro Bot, the first Astro-like game of its kind

Na it plays more like a Bot-like

[@_Stormfather]

Obviously a slick-type game

[@Pixelusually]

Its actually a bot-LITE, very different

[@mariopikaman1]

It's actually the third game in it's type, with Rescue Mission on PSVR and Playroom coming on PS5 coming first and second, respectively

[@Twobold]

How is it a game with pieces of every game ever released to a platform has more originality and personality than a self proclaimed AAAA title? Truly a mystery of game design.

[@RaphDeGrate]

It really isn’t that original, it’s just really well executed. Fusing a collectathon with smash levels of references is kinda new tho. It feels refreshingly full of heart. This was a product the team not only wanted to make but enjoyed making. And there was no way the Sony execs thought it would be that big a deal so they probably weren’t micromanaging and breathing down the devs necks. The rest of the AAA industry is too caught up with making a product while this was about making a fun nostalgia passion project.

[@ratdoller77]

shame its selling poorly so we're just going to continue to get 30+ hour semi open world action games, despite the internet swearing they want these types of games and they'll all buy them.

[@alpgnr7690]

Now that its successfull, we'll get 1 launch title astroboy game with every new console from here on out for sure.
