Now, of course, considering this is a PlayStation-first award ceremony, it’s not surprising, even with votes being public, that Astro Bot took home so many awards.
In our review, we also praised it highly, saying: “This lovable, adorable white and blue bot offers a mixture of fun and engaging platforming gameplay with the PS5 spin and PlayStation nostalgia to please both new and longtime fans in multiple ways. Astro Bot may not have the extensive history nor brand recognition comparable to platformers like Mario… yet.”
