Astro Bot is virtually flawless and a joyous celebration of gaming
Team Asobi's PS5 masterpiece gets the Digital Foundry review treatment.
Using its own in-house technology, the design objective seems clear - to deliver a smooth platforming experience at 60 frames per second while dazzling the player with physics and pyrotechnic effects at every corner. Team Asobi has shipped the kind of polished product you expect from the best developers - refined to a fine sheen, excellent performance and clever solutions for every possible rough edge. Leaning into PlayStation's gaming legacy, aspects from all major Sony franchises make their way into Astro Bot - even the 'squeezing through a tight corridor' mechanic is sent up beautifully (bottom-left).
