Didn't expect pack-in titles to ever return and be actually a fun introduction to a console. Astro's Playroom is a surprisingly competent yet simple game that manages to take advantage of the new DualSense controller while managing to pay a homage to PlayStation that kinda hit for a bit.

Almost felt it was a rite of passage to beat this game first before moving onto the other PS5 titles or catching up on the PS4 games I missed out but I sorta wish they made games like this that provide something to play just for getting the console. It honestly gets a point up from me just because I've had their consoles for a while.
