‘Game of the Year front-runner’ – Astro Bot Reviewers Roundtable

Join VGC’s Jordan Middler, Andy Robinson, and Chris Scullion as they discuss Astro Bot.

In this Reviewers Roundtable podcast, the crew go over their favourite parts of Team Asobi‘s new game. This discussion is spoiler-free, and only refers to things that have been included in PlayStation‘s pre-release marketing. That being said, there’s a moment in the podcast that we discuss a surprise that we feel shouldn’t have been shown in trailers.

If you’d like to skip that moment, we provide a timecode in the description of the podcast video, which you can watch below.

VGC’s review of Astro Bot called it the best 3D platformer in a decade.

“Astro Bot makes us feel better about the future of PlayStation. It’s a game that proves that even while some of PlayStation’s efforts are focussed on a rocky live-service path, and the others are firmly in big-budget AAA titles that no other first-party can recreate for production value, there’s a group like Team Asobi creating utter magic at the heart of PlayStation.”

This video is also available as an audio podcast on the VGC: The Video Game Podcast feed.
