Rolled credits on Astrobot. 8/10.
My opinion might change as I grind for the platinum but right now 8/10. I don's think I'd rate this game as highly if it weren't for the completionist mindset for the platinum as blind runs are short mildly engaging experiences, it's a very well crafted game with great variety and excellent ideas but it's only mildly fun imo, kind of annoying in places especially the main theme but also some of the mechanics. Can't knock the quality but it feels far from premium and worth it's price tag despite the attention to detail. It all feels less nostalgic and more as opposed to the 10/10, Rescue mission PSVR game, should have been a 40 or 50 euro title max. I've about 80 bots to go, that whole lost galaxy and some post launch content that looks to be based on the best part of this game, the optional challenge levels. It's a damn good game, like, just not worthy of GOTY 2024.
Alas, Platformers are not the same after you play them in VR, you can noticeably tell when a lack of depth is getting you killed sadly and Astrobot has a tendency to change the camera angle suddenly for boss encounters. This game is far, far from perfect.
