Just got to play this today for the first time at my brother in laws place since I don't have VR myself...
Absolutely phenomenal. This is the game that made me put down the headset and immediately head to the store and buy a PSVR.
Holy shit.
Glad to hear you loved it. I'm returning to Spider-Man after finishing this and don't get me wrong Spider-Man is an awesome game but the immersion drop off coming from Atrobot is huge and I even have a 100" screen.Just got to play this today for the first time at my brother in laws place since I don't have VR myself...

This is fantastic. I beat the first world and missed about 2 or 3 robots. The gameplay is spot on and the way it uses the camera minimizes motion sickness. during platform jumping scenes its mostly fixed.
Its nearly Ape Escape in terms of design and gameplay. No reason for Sony to not bring that IP to VR as well. Its a perfect fit.
Yeah IDK. It really does need to come to VR IMHO. We could have both with a game like that. VR could be a reason for its existence.There is financial reason, VR games don't sell enough.
And there's fan base backlash reason, Ape fans would be piss if new Ape only playable on PSVR.
So I know people have been praising this game up and down and I've been playing it on and off all day after buying it yesterday.
I think this might be my game of the year so far for me.. It's really astonishing how natural and fun it is to be inside that headset playing this.
My wife told me just now that I've been sitting with a big grin on my face all day and I haven't even noticed that myself!
It's almost like discovering super mario as an eight year old again.
I also managed to find all the bots on level one just now and holy crap the last on on level 1-2 was hard to find lol.
You know which one I'm talking about.
Dan over at Giant Bomb finally got around to playing it and gushes about it on the latest Beast Cast.
love your avatar, ready for Ghost of TsushimaI hope Japan Studio can make a more-of-the-same sequel in double-quick time, around a year.
Maybe increase the versatility of the controller gimmicks and allow more than one per level. Keep the challenge levels focused on one.

Finished it a couple days ago. Absolutely fantastic and delightful game that I just wish there was more of. That's my only complaint, really: I'd like more of it, more stages, more environments, more enemy types, more controller gadgets. With enough time, money and care, an Astrobot 2 has the potential to be among the best games of all time. Still, what is there, is simply amazing.
No, I don't, because I haven't found him yet. Grrrr. I'm replaying the game to scoop up the remaining bots, most stages that I didn't get all bots in the first time through took one extra run; 1-2 I have run thrice, still missing one.
It's not the one on the wing of the large plane that you have to throw a ball at, is it? I have that one. Anyway, don't tell me, I want to find it myself.
Wow you really took your time with this. HahaLevel 5-4 is so good (all of world 5 is tbf). This is bittersweet... I'm kinda sad it's going to be all over soon.
Somebody tell me there will be more of this shit on the horizon, DLC or sequel :'(
That World 5 boss... Wow. So glad I did that shit high.Wow you really took your time with this. Haha
Don't remember a game that gets better and better with each level and boss like this.
PSvr deals everywhere. Like for everything else :).Astro Bot is currently #5 on Amazon.com's bestselling PS4 games in the US. I wonder why it's suddenly so high?
Astro Bot is one of the most memorable game experiences of my life. I've been gaming for a long ass time. I'm sitting on the floor and the little dude is like running across my lap. I stand up to have a better vantage point of the ledge. I had my folks try wipeout and they thought that was cool being in the cockpit. That isn't shit compared to this. Thankfully the game is great too based on reviews and word of mouth but this is something that needs to simply be experienced. My mind is fucking blown. Wow. Happy Turkey Day peeps. I need to take my ass to bed because I'll play this all night. Holy fuck.
Hope lots of people are getting this with the new PSVR bundles!
btw 3-3 is PS4's jolly roger bay. It has to be intentional.
Jolly Roger Bay is one of the cool levels in SM64 with the EEL and the pirate ship.
I just played this level yesterday. Astounding. Mechanically it's incredibly simple, and I've played it a dozen time in games like, oh, every Ratchet. But put yourself inside it in VR, and oh wow. I was grinning like a fool. Did manage to yank the cable out while swivelling on my chair a bit too much though. Cable from the headset is too damn short.Super-ultra late to this. But I just started playing this (finished RDR2, and this was my next game) and HOLY JESUS! I am only finished World 2, but 2-4 had me grinning like a little kid. Lots of games try that "rail" level in which you travel on rail jumping from rail to rail avoiding enemies or hazards, but this is the first time I'd actually had fun in a level like this.
