While scrolling through the PlayStation Store, I came across this cute little robot called Astro and thought, “Looks fun—why not?” Glad I trusted the instinct, because Astro’s Playroom is a surprising gem. It’s not just a platformer—it’s a celebration of PlayStation itself.
Gameplay – Light, Smooth, and Fun to Explore
Astro’s Playroom drops you right into the world inside your PS5, where the console’s hardware and software come to life. You explore different zones that represent components of the PlayStation, and along the way, you fight off quirky bugs and viruses that act like mini-villains.
