A short and sweet platformer that's a great tech showcase...
Honestly surprised by how enjoyable I found Astro's Playroom. Not only does it do a great job showing off the possibilities of the new DualSense controller, it's also just genuinely a fun experience throughout. I enjoyed going through and collecting everything to complete the PlayStation history collection room.
The DualSense controller triggers and rumble features are easily the standouts. Even the stupid touch bar is better. I still don't care for motion controls, though. Nintendo has been forcing motion controls on us for years and I've never enjoyed it. Please let this be the only PS5 game that I need to rotate my controller around to do stuff.
SUMMARY
+ Great tech showcase for the new DualSense controller
+ Short and sweet game that never overstays its welcome
+ Fun collectibles
- Motion controls are still bad
