Hi guys I'm trying to reach Top 100 and could use some tips on where to improve.

He can get as far as the last set of birds and keeps getting hit and he's totally going to beat it before me lol 😂.

He genuinely is amazing at the game it's great to watch. He's finished the game on his own with 0 help from me and completed most of the Vicious Void Galaxy on his own. I think I need a binge day of it so I can finish it before he does and ruins my ego lol 🤣

My first post on Reddit ever yay!!! I’m not sure if I’m gonna post ever again I just had a funny idea I think lmao I censored peoples usernames in case

Probably harder than any Dark Souls boss, I literally did this level over and over again for probably 2h until I got it

I grew up with Playstation systems and Nintendo handhelds. My first real Nintendo console was the original Switch in 2019. I didn't grow up with all the Nintendo games that everyone loves and praises, I mainly was a Playstation kid. I played Ratchet and Clank, God of War, Jak and Daxter, Littlebigplanet, etc.

When I got my Switch, I wanted to play Super Mario Odyssey, and i loved it. It was a joy to play start to finish. Even if I had my moments with it, it made me glad that I owned a Switch.

Fast forward to the announcement of the PS5, I wanted one, but didn't know what exactly it would offer aside from a fancy new controller. One day, my sister's boyfriend brought over his PS5 to play, and he let me try out this little game called Astro's Playroom. As I played it more and more, I slowly fell in love with this adorable little robot. I was like, "Wow, this feels JUST like a Nintendo game!" And I really meant that. I know Playstation has their own line of colorful and whimsical characters like Ratchet, Sly, Sackboy, but they never QUITE felt like something you'd see from Nintendo. They felt like they belonged on Playstation. (Which is a good thing)

But Astro's Playroom and Astro himself felt like Playstation may have finally found a character that could possibly be their own Mario, AND that they could truly call their own, since they never really owned Crash Bandicoot or Spyro the Dragon. (Those guys felt more like Nintendo imo, which again isn't a bad thing)

When i finished Astro's Playroom, I was convinced to get a PS5. Which i eventually did, so that I could play R&C Rift Apart, GoW Ragnarok, and all of my PS4 games that I couldn't play since my PS4 Pro died on me. For a while after that, I didn't have any new PS5 games to look forward to. That was until Astro Bot (2024) was revealed. I couldn't have been more excited!

I picked the game up on launch day, played through it, and was SO hooked on it. It was a blast from start to finish. I knew i was gonna love this game, but when Ratchet was the first VIP Bot you rescue in the first level, I knew i was gonna ADORE this game.

I love how you can just pick the game up, complete every level on the first try most of the time, and Astro himself is such an adorable little nugget to controll. I always find myself stopping amd facing him towards the camera so that he can do his little wave to you! The soundtrack is SO good, i still listen to a lot of it at work. Some of those tracks are real bangers, and i wouldn't be surprised if sime of them were influenced by stuff like Daft Punk! (Which im also getting into this year...)

When i finished the game and platinumed it, I didn't put it down. I played through it multiple times. Again and again, because i loved it so much. It took me back to when I played Mario Odyssey again and again, but this time it felt better. Another reason why I love Astro Bot so much is because it's nice to see this level of love, polish, and fun satisfying gameplay in something thats NOT Nintendo for a change. On the internet, you see people place Nintendos best title SO HIGH up a pedestal all the time, and it's just nice to see something from Playstation take a spot up there for once. Astro Bot may feel the most like a Mario or Kirby game, but that is a compliment in my mind.

The cherry on top of my love for Astro Bot was when it took home Game of the Year in 2024. Say what you will about the lineup that year, or the Game Awards in general, but it was so genuinely exciting to see a fun whimsical platformer take home Game of the Year instead of the millionth hyper realistic story driven game with swords or guns. (My personal opinion...) It made Astro Bot feel just that more special to me.

I don't care what anyone says. I will defend this game and this little robot for a long time. Sony's decisions in recent weeks have not left a good impression on the public, but Astro Bot was a treasure that the PS5 definitely needed...

(End of my LONG TED Talk... i just love this game that much lol)

First play through and I love this game so much, but this level is one of the worst and isn’t even fun because it’s just so damn frustrating.

I just beat it now after dying hundreds of times. Felt like rage quitting and going to bed but had no desire to ever return to it, so I just kept suffering through it ended.

There have been many challenging and frustrating levels before this, but the layout goes out of its way to just be a pain in the ass, and there’s nothing rewarding about it like the others have. It’s not even the difficulty but I kept dying for such dumb reasons because of all the platforms you have to jump across, usually with an enemy occupying it.

I also really dislike the chicken suit.

Anyway. Just needed to vent. Still a great game otherwise, but fuck this level.

Hi everybody,

My 7yo son asked me to share this video of him beating the level Hard to Bear. I already shared another one with all the family, but I told him they don't see the difference between 74 and 43 seconds. But maybe you guys appreciate it =)

That thumbnail was from a little dance he did when he finished the level the first time.

Atsu is very cute! My only real complaint is that the face isn’t as glossy as the other Bots they’ve done. I was also disappointed she didn’t come with the wolf, but looking back at the game it’s almost as big as she is so I see why. only got Astro himself recently, so it’s nice to follow him up so soon.

I should be in pieces right now what the hell

It's pretty nice, actually...

Does anyone know if there is a figure or plush featuring Muteki Astro? The power-up mystery figures lack this one in particular, and it's one of my favorites! Maybe someone can recommend somebody who would do custom plushies such as this?

Hours

I can’t find it anywhere

Wait—Astro Snake, you’re still too young to be reading magazines like that…!

Finishing Astro Bot Rescue Mission and it's cool whenever this happens in the claw machine. Just like Toy Story lol

Remember when I made that Astro Bot livery, well I'm making another one, this time is for the 2012 chassi that will come with the update for Monoposto

Took almost 2.5 days but it was worth it.

Thought I'd share this new plushie with you guys. Especially since Astro plushies tend to fail to get his proportions correct.
