Rolled credits on Astrobot. Edit: 9/10
My opinion might change as I grind for the platinum but right now /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.
Upon reflection after obtaining the Platinum this game meets my criteria for a 9/10 because of the shear fun of finding all the bots, puzzle pieces and replaying levels for the platinum and it's near flawlessness in all technical and quality aspects. It's the platinum that makes the game and the true ending is that final Master challenge for bot 301. I've tried to knock this game and I come up with few points like the music being annoying and the levels being quite short in places and some frustrating challenge levels but it really is near flawless and a great deal of fun. Technically I particularly like the detail put in exemplified in the Crash Site when everything is unlocked and though it might not be graphicallly intensive it's nice to see all that work on screen with no loss in image quality.
