Just to preface, this is a (sorta) joke video and it's not meant to be taken too seriously. Nor should you take this thread too seriously. It's a case of the Simpsons has done it all already but for video game platformers. Buuuuut...

Astrobot was originally made for VR, when I played Rescue mission it felt like Nintendo platformers evolved for a new age. I haven't played Astro bot PS5 yet but Asmongold reacted to the video below and I'm kinda shocked at some comparisons especially from Galaxy and Oddessy.  

There is taking inspiration and paying homage then there is this video. Great artists steal and all...

GameXplain drives me nuts. We “love” Astro so much b/c it’s a 3D platformer which successfully borrows from Mario.

I doubt it's meant to be serious shade, just a look at how funnily similar it is. Did you see the sleeping animation at the end of the video, lol. 

I don't get Asmongold. Dude is one of the worst content creators I know, he doesn't know anything about games and only make exaggerated reactions

Eh, him acting like he knows everything is very much annoying, indeed but he talks about stuff others aren't willing to and does it in a way that isn't one of those political extremes channels calling everything woke or on the inverse calling everything fascist and he doesn't play it safe to get away from those extremes. His opinions shift from extreme to extreme and all in between, he's the true definition of center poltically and it's very rare these days. However I agree, he does come across as a know it all, I'm always right type and that's very off putting.
