Yup. Large explorable worlds don’t always equate to quality.
This game may not be a massive free roam open world..but the quality is very much there.

Also glad it's not open world, sick of them. Worst thing for me is a new entry of something to be annouced and it's "open world" now.
Pre-order was £46ish I think (code + cashback) which is higher than I'd like (normally don't like going above £40), but I love 3d platformers so support them where I can. Normally with the exception of Nintendo, they are all indie games.

Looks great and I loved astro's playroom but 10hr playtime for a full price game seems a bit off.
I suppose it depends on replay potential to some degree but I agree 10hrs seems a bit short, even for a £60 title.
That being said, I sometimes find the game time quoted in reviews don’t fit me as I like to explore and complete as much as possible before moving on.
So a 10hr title can easily be a 20hr plus title for me.
If I could get 25hrs out of it, I’d be happy with that.
And made in only 3 years, from a small studio. Sony should knock out more games in the same graphics style.
Agreed, this game is quality. Going into this weekend I was in a bit of a quandary : do I play Astrobot or Space marine 2 ? Well, the latter is a major letdown ... so Astrobot it is !

This game is my GOTY for me, looks good, plays good and a lot of FUN!

This game's so good. The ultimate goal of each level's the same but the mechanics they provide to get you there couldn't be more different, makes every level feel unique.
Completed two Nebula so far and having an absolute blast, best game I've played in years.

As above, Downside Surprise is not only my favourite level so far, it could be one of the best levels of any game ever made.

Saving this and Spider-Man 2 for my time off in October, assuming I can hold out that long. It looks great.
You won’t be disappointed! it’s my goty. Its amazing and a step up in every way possible compared to playroom.
Yes ! Such a fantastic level. On par if not better than Nintendo offerings.
Liked the original that came free with PS5. Completed the last few trophies on that yesterday and really enjoyed it. That was enough to convince me to cough up the full £60 for the digital version.
Only done the 1st level of the new game, but it was very impressive!

Got this today, only done a few levels so far, but such good fun. Plays great and looks great!
You can turn off the gyro and use the left stick instead if you wish to make it easier.

That awkward moment when you're literally on level 2 and taking the level super slow and checking every nook and cranny and you still finish the level missing a bot and a jigsaw piece 
It's like THAT is it, Astro Bot?
Ok, game on !!
