I hit the God of war level on Astrobot, I'm taking this game very sliw cause I just can't digest a lot at once but I can't decide if all this playstation integration is good or tacky...I'm lending toward tacky. Great for a free game installed on the console but I paid full price for this, I don't want it to be a fucking playstation advert. This game has nothing on Astrobot rescue mission which is the best platformer of all time cause it's so condensed with meaningful gameplay and an evolution of the genre and it's not even close to something like Mario Galaxy which would be a 10/10 platformer... so far. I'd be surprised if it breaks outta the 8/10 mark for me. Can't see the hype but I've four worlds to go, perhaps it'll hook me deeply one of these sessions.

Astro Bot is a celebration of PlayStation, what was you expecting? lol 

I was expecting Astrobot Recue Mission, which was its own IP. A few bots here and there as cameos is cool but to make the whole game about it, it's tacky and cheap as fuck. It just feels the opposite of premium. Plus Rescue Mission had longer more involved levels and this is all short, gimmicky stuff. It's fun but it's no Astrobot Redcue Mission which was more condensed to so much more premium, like Nintendo top teir platformers. Game needs to be at that 40 euro at full price point too, this didn't have a budget that justifies this price point and it's a game that seems like it would fit that price point, or at least 50. 70 euro is a rip. The advert (or as you say "celebration") thing works in the Playroom thing cause it's free but it's not cool when it's a full price game. 

I'm not saying the game isn't well made and it's most certainly fun in short digestible chunks but it's definitely over rated in my opinion. Strange that it got GOTY. There are three games I can think of more deserving than this and I had severe issues with two of them, Stellar Blade, FF7 R and Metaphor.
