When it comes to pure platforming, Astro Bot is hard to beat. Each level offers up a loadout of leaps, ledges and unfriendly foes, fine-tuned for fun and bolstered by backpack-based power ups. Slap on a squid and you can blow up like a balloon and soar to new heights! Pick up a metal mutt and jet boost across gaps and smash through glass. Astro Bot is crammed with colour and life, with a super new setting around every corner. One moment you’re suspended sky high on a construction site, manhandling a magnet to activate switches, the next you’re grappling with a ginormous boxing octopus that really packs a punch. Turn the tables on this mask wearing menace by avoiding its attacks and pummeling its weak points! And for the ultimate test, the challenge levels are truly tricky. Each mission also has a bevy of bots to collect, including cameos from more than 150 Special Bots – cool characters from PlayStation past!
PRO TIP!
You can get a start on your Special Bot collection in Astro Bot by playing Astro’s Playroom! This game comes preloaded on PS5 and has four Special Bots to find. You’ll need to solve a puzzle sequence for each, so if you’re stuck, ask for a hand!
