If I’m late to the party on this, my apologies. I just got the game because it’s cheaper with PSPremium. It’s awfully close to the VR Astrobot we hoped we would get. I’ve played about 3-4 hours and am on the second “world”, and so far it’s an absolute blast. If you played the original Astrobot Rescue for PSVR1 it’s very similar. I don’t want to go on too long, but here is a short list of pros and cons:
Pros:
*They add a few Mario-like mechanics with hidden blocks and overworld maps. *They add direct participation in the environment from the player a bit like Moss for some levels and it’s great *Some score attack mini-games based on game mechanics
- Movement and jump physics feel very smooth and intuitive
Cons:
- The graphics and art are great but not quite the level of an Astrobot or Mario
- They don’t really develop the additional mechanics much or make make them integral to the gameplay
- The difficulty is generally lower than a Mario, maybe a hair lower than Astrobot, but it has some strange ups and downs mid-game that make some parts feel too easy and others feel strangely frustrating. (This is minor, but it does pop-up from time to time.)
If you liked Astrobot VR this will definitely be a good choice for you, and over-all I think it’s one of the better titles available on PSVR2 currently. I hope that’s helpful information.
