loved all the cute easter eggs and PlayStation references.

O primeiro jogo do ps5 que joguei, curti muito principalmente as referencias a ícones que fizeram parte da historia do playstation. Acho uma pena que o que foi feito nesse jogo fique apenas nesses cases de amostra do console.

I loved this tech demo showcasing the PlayStation family of consoles' history.

Yeah. I don't care if it's just a tech demo. This is a must-play. It's a great platformer with a ton of PlayStation nostalgia and cool mechanics, taking full advantage of the DualSense controller. I was flabbergasted at how good it was, how much content was present, and how much depth was put into everything. It gets a perfect score from me.

Very cute, charming 3D platformer. For a pack-in title, I really couldn't ask for more. It's fun, it doesn't overstay its welcome, and I even liked it enough to grab the Platinum.


Way more fun than it needed to be

Legalzinho, é divertido jogar utilizando todo potencial do controle do ps5

fofo. muita nostalgia na parte do play 3... todos os acessórios que aparecem naquela parte eu guardo na minha memória com muita nostalgia, nem se fale então no final da fase que começa a tocar a músiquinha do menu...

primeiro jogo zerado no play 5 hehe

Hearing that new video game system you’re about to buy comes with a free title designed to show off its special capabilities likely calls to mind some paltry minigame compilation à la Welcome Park on PS Vita. Sony has actually preloaded their latest home console with a full-fledged 3D collect-a-thon platformer of remarkable quality though! It may not end up being as iconic as Wii Sports, but is a very welcome member of the PS5’s library nonetheless.

It feels like a gleeful celebration of the company’s long history. Not in a supercilious, self-aggrandizing way, but in a manner more akin to sitting down with an old friend and reminiscing fond memories. Everywhere you look there’s an Easter egg or deep cut reference that’s been lovingly placed there to bring a smile to the face of any abiding PlayStation devotee while reminding them of the types of experiences they can’t get anywhere else.

As delightful as all of that is though, it’s the gameplay that matters most and if that didn’t hold up then this package would carry no value. Astro’s Playroom manages to succeed due to spacing out the stages meant to make use of the controller’s unique functions with excellent traditional ones that you can explore and grab things in at your leisure. The levels that see you tilting the DualSense and playing around with its touchpad and adaptive triggers admittedly are a tad gimmicky (especially those dang frog suit sections), but remain fun in spite of that by never outstaying their welcome.

Another aspect that really impressed me was the sheer amount of interactivity. In the starting hub area alone, you can smack all of the little Bots to have them tag along behind you and amass a huge horde of followers. What purpose does this serve? None as far as I can tell! It's just a single example of the many neat little features the devs have included that allow you to find extra amusement in engaging with your surroundings. It's something I wish more games would do.

This might also be the perfect length, striking that nice balance between charming demo you spend a little time with before moving on to the games you actually bought the console for and a more fulfilling offering that can keep you coming back for a few additional hours via the healthy amount of collectibles to hunt down. AP won't be on any top ten of the PS5's lifespan lists when all is said and done, yet is a fantastic freebie regardless that there's absolutely no reason for you to not check out if you own the hardware.

9/10

The very first game I platinum on my ps5 and not gonna lie, this is such a cute game. I love the Easter eggs to some of the characters from different franchises and generations of PlayStation consoles and finding all the puzzle pieces and such was fun to do. And it is one of the easier games to platinum as well.

Such a cute nostalgic tech showcase. Absolutely the first thing you should play on your PS5.

Great pack-in title and a celebration of the history of Playstation platforms. The gameplay isn't super deep but it doesn't need to be.

isto pode parecer uma forma subtil de dizer que tenho uma PS5, mas na verdade é bem pior: é uma forma subtil de dizer que tenho um namorado.

quando instalei isto pela primeira vez joguei um pouco e imediatamente apaguei o meu save porque sabia que ele ia adorar, ele não percebe nada de videojogos então it was really fun vê-lo a jogar, e a ficar fascinado que o comando treme (ele descobriu sobre isto quando estávamos a jogar It Takes Two no ano novo na PS4, nunca me tinha apercebido que existem pessoas que não sabem que o comando reage e foi muito insightful e deixou-me muito feliz vê-lo tão investido), que os gatilhos reagem e a interagir com tantas mecânicas, é tipo abrir a porta para um mundo novo a alguém, é viciante vê-lo sorrir e surpreso com o que vê à frente dele.

o jogo é muito divertido e genuinamente deixa-me triste saber que a PlayStation não vai investir seriamente neste mercado, de diversão mecânica e pura, sem grandes truques narrativos, quase que tivemos algo quando o playlink surgiu, mas foi apenas outra gimmick que morreu tão rápido quanto nasceu, ainda te amo És Tu, Saber é Poder, Chimparty e Frantics.... gostava de meter o bichinho da playStation no meu bolso e andar por aí a mostrar-lhe coisas.
