Best of 2020: Astro's Playroom, and Tom's other GOTY picks

Tom Orry: "I thought Astro's Playroom was going to be a throwaway pack-in title. I was wrong. Sony's PS5 freebie is one of the best games of 2020."

Great game. Can’t wait for more Astro Bot.

Astro's VR game is still to this day one of the best ever made for the format, and easily the best, mario-quality platformer available in VR. It showed how VR could not only make those games look cool, but provide gameplay opportunities simply not possible on a flat screen (you could try, but it would be an annoyingly unplayable mess with the camera issues you'd face). Not to mention it making you a physical presence in the game, able to headbutt objects and such.

Agreed - anyone who enjoyed Astro's Playroom, needs to play Astro Bot: Rescue Mission on the PSVR. It's pure joy and platforming gold!

Played through this game a second time yesterday. So amazing. Dual sense use is unbelievable and the time trials are fun to do after also. I need my PSVR so I can play through Rescue Mission. Hopefully I can go home sometime soon to get it.

Loved it. I really want astrobot’s next VR game!

Astro's Playroom is a very intelligent little game that makes a good case for the DualSense. Pleasant to play, and a nice homage to the PS brand as a whole.

Got the platinum yesterday; looking forward to more.
