“I’ve raved about how good Astro Bot: Rescue Mission is as a VR game and a platformer and Astro’s Playroom is a masterful way to showcase what this brilliant team can do on the PS5 with the DualSense’s various features that makes it a strong contender for best game of the year. Just let Asobi Team make a full sequel to Rescue Mission with all of the joy, playfulness, and amazing attention to detail that the first game had and Sony will have a top tier platformer that rivals, and even bests, Mario once again for the first time since Jak & Daxter.” – Chris Selogy, Managing Editor
