Everyone’s excited for 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Astro Bot, right? We all loved running that little guy around in the demo that came with the PS5, marveling at the advanced haptic feedback in the controllers that maybe eight or nine games have actually used well. That Astro Bot sure is a cute fella! He’s a little mascot for Sony, something fun and sweet when Kratos might not be the front-facing smile they need. Thankfully, Astro Bot is finally getting another full game. And early reports indicate it looks great, plays even better, and has hundreds of gr𝐆eat cameos.
The thing is, we’ve already had a great Astro Bot game. Oh, no, I’m not talking about Astro’s Playroom for the PS5. I’m talking about the PSVR exclusive: Astro Bot Rescue Mission. You didn’t play it? Of course you didn’t. Nobody but me and maybe three confused people at Sony did. Which is a shame, because it’s one of the best games on the PS4 and it deserves its own whole port, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered-style. I want an easy way to pla🔜y this game so much that it hurts. Port it⛎. Port it now, you cowards.
When I say Astro Bot Rescue Mission is a good game, I don’t mean it’s good for VR or it’s one of the better platformers of the last few years, yadda, yadda, yadda. I mean it’s nearly on par with Mario. The levels are surprising. Everything seems carefully planned. It does that thing that great games do: make you feel like a genius for straying from the main path to find a secret, only to realize it was directing you that way the whole time. If you’ve played Astro’s Playroom or seen gameplay from the new Astro Bot game, you basically understand what you’ll be getting here. You know that little robot is fun to control. You know he’s got himself some cute friends. And even Playroom - a free demo - had great level design. Astro Bot Rescue Mission did it all first. In fact, Playroom is technically a sequel to Astro Bot Rescue Mission. That just doesn’t matter much because the series isn’t a 100-hour saga about revenge. There’s no canon to be worried about. It’s a little robot rescuing his friends. And it’s good.
Somehow, Sony has managed to remaster every IP its ever owned except Astro Bot Rescue Mission. And, again, it doesn’t even work on PSVR2 - it’s for the first PlayStation VR, so your ass better have an extra power outlet and the time to sort through a dozen wires. Hope you’ve kept your seven year old, last-generation headset handy, because somehow one of the best games on PS4 is trapped within a peripheral that even I ended up giving away. I’m sorry, I know there are still some PSVR exclusives that I can’t play now, but I wasn’t p꧋laying them before anyway. Except for Astro Bot Rescue Mission. I want to play that right now. Like, today.
The wild thing is that Astro Bot Rescue Mission doesn’t even need VR. It’s a platformer. Sure, the VR helps add some flavo𒀰r and immersion. But it’s not completely necessary. You could easily bring the game over to the PS5 as a regular, flat-screen experience. Hell, make it free. Make it a PS Plus Exclusive. Make it an extra in the deluxe edition of the new game. I don’t care. The game is so good and so pure. Levels like the Sky Garden feel like future versions of the games we played as kids in the ‘90s. Well, I guess that’s literally what games are now, but you know what I mean.
Why do I care if we’re getting an Astro Bot game anyway? Because Astro Bot Rescue Mission is good! That’s it! I’m not demanding the game be remastered for the sake of history or because “for the full story, audiences must experience it from the start.” No. I want a remaster of t🐭his game because Astro Bot Rescue Mission slaps. It’s an incredible platformer/action game that has been woefully locked away into the Technology of Christmas Past. Imagine if Super Mario Bros. 3 was a Virtual Boy exclusive and that’s the only way you could ever play it. Actually, that would be better because it’s relatively e𒁃asy to emulate a Virtual Boy. Currently getting Astro Bot Rescue Mission to run requires spending money on eBay and moving furniture for space.
I’ll be real: Whether or not Astro Bot Rescue Mission gets ported will not affect me buying the new, shorter-titled Astro Bot. I’m there. I’m in. I love this series. But part of the reason I do love this series is because of that first fullꦐ game. I’ll say it one more time: it’s one of the PS4’s best games and it’s a tragedy to leave it behind when꧒ the world is just beginning to embrace this adorable robot. Bring it back. Let me go on my Astro Bot Rescue Mission, guys. Come on.
