Astro and his crew lead you on a magical introduction through PS5 in this fun platformer that comes pre-loaded on PS5. Explore four worlds, each based on PS5’s console components. Each area showcases innovative gameplay that taps into the new features of the PS5's DualSense wireless controller.
Enjoying Astro's Playroom?
Astro's Playroom took me 6 hours of playtime to get all of its trophies, including its free updates. And what a wonderful 6 hours it was. The only seriously difficult parts were the final boss (why no checkpoint after the first phase?) and the speedrun challenges. ...And I had to look up a guide for the special characters.
But it's a love letter to PlayStation history that absolutely oozes charm, and even as someone who didn't grow up with these consoles (I was a Nintendo kid) it makes me want to play all the games it's referencing. This is one of the best controller demos of all time, and it's free! Even as a fan of Nintendo Land, I gotta say this is only second to Wii Sports Resort, which is a high ass bar. It was the only PS5 launch title that made me go 'Oh shit! I GOTTA get me one of these!'
Will probably do a longer trophy by trophy review on offprint at some point, will stealth edit a link into here when the USB stick I need to copy off the auto recorded trophy videos arrives
