@@firepeaman2440Pretty good game too. Just a shame that the development for it was (apparently) an awful experience for the developers. Even so, I will say that Astro Bot is really fun. Would definitely love to get another full game with Astro (Although the Platinum trophy's description basically already KINDA confirms it). Although, I wouldn't be mad if they released some of the cut levels post-launch (Some of the cut levels were apparently pretty much finalized, but got cut due to the theme being a BIT too similar to another level), but I don't care THAT much. I'm just glad that the game is fun.

@@poyrazunlu Mario Galaxy’s Gameplay Style is always such a blast to play and while Astro Bot is similar, it’s not like it’s a complete one to one recreation of it. No diss to Astro Bot though, this game was really great as I stated in my original comment.

As I told the other guy, Mario Galaxy’s Gameplay Style truly is something else and I consider to be a masterclass like many, again this isn’t a diss to Astro Bot but it’s not Mario Galaxy, but I can definitely see it being THIS generations Galaxy for the Younger Demographic of today.
These are the games that have to be celebrated, and the type of games Sony has to make more of between bigger more cinematic titles. Absolute masterpiece that deserves all the love in the world.
Not gonna lie I wish Astro bot had something similar to Galaxy's level system where you revisit planets but it's different each time, there's some planets I'd love revisit like the day and night one

The only thing that Astro Bot could've done to make it as good as Mario Galaxy would make the game have small micro planets and make them have their own gravity. And the story is even as compelling as that of Galaxy, but Astro Bot is still amazing in its own way!
@@C0LIN. It does, I'm just saying I wish that they had the circumnavigational gravitational physics of some of Mario Galaxy's planetoids where you walk entirely around the planet instead of being pulled down to the floor.

@@OdogRuby77 if i make a videogame inspired from a movie for example is not the same thing as make a videogame with many mechanics taken from another videogame. in this case odyssey is the one that influenced the most.
Seriously. Mario Galaxy has gusty garden, which is arguably one of Nintendo’s greatest compositions, even if it is overplayed. Then you factor in Good Egg Galaxy, Melty Molten, Space Junk, Beach Bowl, and pretty much every damn theme in the game and I wonder how on earth you can even come to that conclusion.
Look man, everyone is allowed to have an opinion Except that one. Mario Galaxy has one of the best OSTs of all time. Astrobot's OST wasn't bad, but wasn't amazing either
Astro's graphics, presentation, and style far exceed Mario. Mario's playability, jump physics, level design, and level of fun far exceed Astro. Winner? Still Mario. Close though.
@@brianbernstein3826 astro bot has better graphics,better challenge towards the end,less repetetive,better motion controlls and more ambitious boss fights,more fun powerups, aswell as alot more stuff to collect.

@@ppo9200 "Astro bot has better challenge towards the end?" WHAT?! Have you played the Galaxy 2 special levels? Also I totally disagree that Mario's larger move set "adds very little to the gameplay."
I dont have the nostalgia tied to mario galaxy. I didnt play the game untill it was ported over to switch i had a really good time but i do feel it is a little over hyped and nostalgia is moat likely a big part of it. Astro bot was one of if not the best platformer i ever played and the game was just so charming and fun that i didnt even care that it was ez. It was nice having a chill game to platinum after the pain i put my self through for the crash 4 platinum a few months ago
No way. Galaxy isn't just nostalgia or over hyped. It was fresh & new, it had intriguing story telling, the graphic & presentation holds up, the level designs were superb, the anti-gravity works very well, the motion controls works well and it is an super polished & quality game. The game was more than good. It is phenomenal and still is to this day.
Honestly, I can’t complain about anything in this game. It may be on the easier side, but that’s okay. We all need a chill but fun 3D platformer in our lives. I loved the game from start to finish, and even though Stellar Blade is my personal Game of the Year, I would not be mad at all if Astro Bot won.
I don't think it's better than Mario Galaxy, but I do think it's JUST AS good, magical and joy filled. I didn't expect the final boss to make me as floored and happy as it did. I think I ultimately still prefer Galaxy 2 a lil bit, but its could be nostalgia since I've beaten that game a lot. Either way, you can tell Team Asobi not only loves PlayStation games, but games as a whole. EDIT: 7:28 - you can actually target multiple frogs at once by sucking in all the missiles and then aiming at each of the frogs until each had a reticle. The game could've explained that a lil better, but that was something I personally figured out very quickly. You don't need to spend a 2-3 minutes targetting each one at a time
@@La-ilaha-illa-Lenin If Astro is an advertisement then it's a terrible advertisement considering you already have to buy the console it's advertising to play it (not to mention the story involved someone completely destroying said console).

And if you think the collection of VIP bots counts as advertising, then Smash Bros is also an advertisement (they aren't). EDIT: Also, looking at your full channel name, you are definitely in no position to be calling something else "cancerous". Go elsewhere.
Galaxy is still better. Mario’s move set is more diverse. Galaxy is larger, both in length and in scope. Playing Galaxy feels so grand and big, like a giant space adventure Astro taps into this at times but overall Galaxy feels better in this department. The music in Astrobot is fantastic, but it does not compare to the masterpiece that is Super Mario Galaxy’s soundtrack. Also the hub world in galaxy is more fun to explore and expand. There’s more original and interesting characters like Rosalina and the Lumas. Also having three stars per level gives Galaxy a little more nonlinearity compared to Astrobot which is just one single challenge per level. Astrobot is an incredible platformer and is absolutely worth a purchase, but it isn’t touching Super Mario Galaxy. Maybe it could with future installments if they take the series to a deeper level, but for now it’s not quite in that there imo.
Nintendo fanboy can’t accept that a game that’s not made by Nintendo is better than a Nintendo game. Look man I love Nintendo games but even I will agree that this is better than Galaxy. I don’t think it’s better than Odyssey but Galaxy, yeah
@dammyoy Sony fanboy who can't stand his exclusive game not being better than the one it gets compared to, detected. But I should have guessed it when I saw you writing that Odyssey is better than Galaxy. Simply LOL. Both games don't come close to Galaxy, but yeah Astro Bot comes closer to it than Odyssey. Seriously, the only things AstroBot does better than Galaxy are the HD graphics and details (which are there due to the HD aspect) and the speed of the gameplay. Everything else is inferior (although, yes, very good and satisfying). Astro Bot is a lovely game, I love both it and the tech demo of the PS5, but Mario Galaxy is just on another level.

@@PanMan47 the world and the mystery of the machines got me hooked from start to finish in zero dawn. I wasn't as invested in forbidden west story but the gameplay and exploration was more than enough to make me love it

I would say astrobot is better than galaxy 2 but galaxy 1 is a better experience. That being said there’s no reason to argue which is better, they’re both good and the fact it’s even a discussion shows how great astrobot is.
Played ~40 minutes, and was instantly hooked. Loved Astro Bot 1 and this is just an incredible sequel already. Concord was an absolute disaster and (I think) actually THE worst flop in video game history. But at least they have Astro Bot to make SOME money back. Everyone loves it and so do I.
@@mix-jk3ys there is no limit to either character,they both use powerups where the only limit is the developers imagination.Astro bot does nothing that i have not seen in a mario game.
No, this game takes heavy inspiration from Galaxy but it isn't even close. Variety? Galaxy. Game length? Galaxy. Scale of things? Galaxy. Soundtrack? Galaxy. Animations? Galaxy. Moveset? Galaxy. Bigger things at stake? Galaxy. Boss fights? Close but still Galaxy. Speed? AstroBot. HD? AstroBot. Sound design? Equal. These last things are the only things that are better in AstroBot, sorry!
@@4400seriesFAN mario galaxy had a better soundtrack,atmosphere and story(even then both games are about saving other characters from tge 'badguy',mario galaxy just has a darker tone)Mario galaxy was more influential and will always be more iconic. Game length is similar,but astro bot has better graphics,animations,enviromental effects,spectacle,more ambitious boss fights,motion controlls,powerups,sound design and challenge.The bosses are atleast as fun.The cutscenes are atleast as impressive. Mario galaxy has a slightly wider moveset but it essentially adds nothing other than sounding good.The sense of scale is just an illusion created by the backgrounds being deep space much of the time.The scale of the levels,bosses etc is the same.The variety of enemies in mario galaxy is bigger,but overall the variety is similar. I love both, butAstro bot wins.
But even if you collected the rift the first time it would take you out of the level and you'd still have to go back through to 100% anyways. Mainly for all rift levels unless the rift is the final collectable you are forced to play it twice.
I’d say it’s a masterpiece. Best Sony made game, probably ever. I disagree with you on the boss fights. The genre isn’t about bosses. It’s just as cherry on top of level design.
I’m honestly debating on getting a PS5 just to play this game. I know it probably wouldn’t be worth it, but I love 3D platformers and Mario Galaxy is by far my personal favorite of the genre. That, combined with how much praise Astro Bot has been receiving, makes me tempted to buy one.
It's worth it. You can play Astros Playroom, then Astro Bot, and then you can play the Crash Bandicoot remasters, Crash Bandicoot 4, Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart, Sackboy a Big Adventure, Little Big Planet 3, or any other PS5 game and a lot of other PS4 games that are backwards compatible. So that way you aren't just getting it for one game
As they say Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Astrobot is a fantastic game and one of PS5's best games, Arguably even better then Spiderman 2 and Ratchet and clank rift apart.
Galaxy remains my all-time favourite Nintendo game of all time, and while Astro can't quite claim that position among Playstation's library in my eyes, it's nevertheless bringing that Galaxy magic to the brand ^_^
i think it's great that Playstation finally made a platformer. But unfortunately, I don't think Astro Bot will make an impact on the industry that Mario Gakaxy did. I don't see many people talking about this game outside the internet
My 3D platformer rankings: 1. Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 2. Super Mario Odyssey 3. Astro Bot 4. Banjo Kazooie 5. Super Mario 64 6. Super Mario Sunshine 7. Balan Wonderland (just kidding)
Oh and with the frog shit with the missiles: you actually don’t have to sit there and fire back at each one individually. You’re sucking up like 20 missiles and only need one per enemy. You legitimately just have to aim the cursor over each enemy after the first wave of missiles and boom, they’re all dead in like 5 seconds.
5:15 I don’t say it 100% doesn’t have inspirations, but I’m sick of people saying that every good platformer is inspired by Mario. I’ve never played Mario platformers, but if I would make one and if it would turn out to be 97/100 game people would probably say that it is the clone of Mario. Like imagine if the new type of art is created and I use it to create many thing often not that hard to think about like for example beach, underwater or something. Now the question is: if someone will make something similar or with the same theme does it means he was making inspiration or copying me?
I’m planning on getting it. Especially with Play Station characters being in it just want to redo God of War, Uncharted and Horizon before I do this game.
In my opinion i just feel zelda an mario are the same game just in different universes an they both thrive! So i think astro an mario can be on the same stage an thrive as well as good platformers.
You sure you want an extra life system or game overs in this game? People say those things are outdated nowadays because of how inconvenient they make progress in gaming. Super Mario Odyssey didn't have them at all and got a lot of praise for it.
The dips in Astro Bot were too minor for me to warrant an entire point drop. Both games are masterpiece 10/10s. Would have to play both games back to back to confirm which is better though. Mario Odyssey’s movement freedom still edges it out for me as the king.
@@ppo9200 any high and lows for Odyssey that come to mind. Surprised how poorly the sentiment around that game has aged over the years as I only played it 2 years ago.
how could anyone I MEAN ANYONE in their right mind say astro bot has better music. there are opinions sure. but you aren't allowed to have that opinion sorry
Don’t get me wrong it’s a fun as hell game but I think calling it for GOTY is blowing it out of proportion, like Helldivers 2 is or was a fun as hell game but GOTY it is Not 😅
Too bad that this game doesn't have a beautiful space waifu like the Mario Galaxy games do (i.e. Rosalina). Maybe in a DLC expansion or a sequel it could happen? Won't stop me from buying this game though. 👍
This really isn't criticism towards the game I'm going to say here, but more questioning its position given where it exists. Is this game really going to sell well enough to the point that Sony is willing to make a sequel out of this? Because most of the time there are rated E-E10 games in Sony, they never last that long, or if they do, they'll end up so far removed from what they started out as. Because this is the same company that actively portrays themselves as a game, you only play for the games rated T to M 90% of the time. So, having this cute little game that took half of the PS5 lifecycle to be released, yeah.... unless this game shockingly sells over 20 million despite all the odds. I don't think Sony would bother continuing as series like this, at least not anytime soon. (Microsoft did this with Hi-fi rush this year, so this isn't out of the question all things considered)
The ps button challenge level can go to hell. And no, I dont believe that the next astro game should be harder. The game should be a relaxing game with little tedious aspects to it, just like the button challenge maps. Not every game needs to be a souls level sweat fest. This game certainly should not be.
I'm with ya on that one. I sympathize with people that want more of a challenge, but for me I liked having a game to just sit back relax and have fun with. I already have plenty of challenging games to play so its nice to be able to just have a chill game every now and then. And yes, that final level was pain. Beat it, but still...
What about this game means that it should lack challenging levels.What you call tedious or frustrating is seen as thrilling and the highlight/peak of the game to others.
@@GUS-fc3jgthe thing is the game is a tech showcase for the PS5. Don’t have hopes it gets ported because it has mechanics that REQUIRE use of a dualsense
@@Droub_ yeah, I really hope it gets ported but I seriously doubt it actually will. Technically, dual sense features can work on PC when the controller is plugged in, so they could port it, but seeing as the game is literally based on flying around a giant PlayStation I'd say chances are pretty low.
Astro or to me is much better than galaxy and rival odyssey it is my favorite Mario that to me is the only one to surpass super Mario world to me and at that it’s close because of nostalgia
I don’t think it’s fairy to compare the two. Galaxy came out first and established a framework that Astro Bot took inspiration from and built off of. Astro Bot is also newer and has more polished controls than Galaxy does.

Game length is similar,but astro bot has better graphics,animations,enviromental effects,spectacle,more ambitious boss fights,motion controlls,powerups,sound design and challenge.The bosses are atleast as fun.The cutscenes are atleast as impressive.
Mario galaxy has a slightly wider moveset but it essentially adds nothing other than sounding good.The sense of scale is just an illusion created by the backgrounds being deep space much of the time.The scale of the levels,bosses etc is the same.The variety of enemies in mario galaxy is bigger,but overall the variety is similar.
I love both, butAstro bot wins.
So sony answer to the ps5 is copying nintendo... pathetic
Tell me you’re a kid without telling me you’re a kid 😂
@ROBOTG4MER2511 I'm just stating the obvious.
I mean you’re not wrong, astrobot IS a rip off of Mario. But it doesn’t make the game bad imo. It’s still good.
i chuckled at dude raiding
If you want difficulty like boss fights, ask the game to make settings like easy mode and hard mode.
But even if you collected the rift the first time it would take you out of the level and you'd still have to go back through to 100% anyways. Mainly for all rift levels unless the rift is the final collectable you are forced to play it twice.
There’s a couple rift levels where u can go through the whole level, collect everything, then go back to the rift
I’d say it’s a masterpiece. Best Sony made game, probably ever. I disagree with you on the boss fights. The genre isn’t about bosses. It’s just as cherry on top of level design.
I’m honestly debating on getting a PS5 just to play this game. I know it probably wouldn’t be worth it, but I love 3D platformers and Mario Galaxy is by far my personal favorite of the genre. That, combined with how much praise Astro Bot has been receiving, makes me tempted to buy one.
It's worth it. You can play Astros Playroom, then Astro Bot, and then you can play the Crash Bandicoot remasters, Crash Bandicoot 4, Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart, Sackboy a Big Adventure, Little Big Planet 3, or any other PS5 game and a lot of other PS4 games that are backwards compatible. So that way you aren't just getting it for one game
it's gonna go to steam and Nintendo since the game is selling poorly
As they say Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Astrobot is a fantastic game and one of PS5's best games, Arguably even better then Spiderman 2 and Ratchet and clank rift apart.
The first Horizon was a masterpiece!
Galaxy remains my all-time favourite Nintendo game of all time, and while Astro can't quite claim that position among Playstation's library in my eyes, it's nevertheless bringing that Galaxy magic to the brand ^_^
i think it's great that Playstation finally made a platformer. But unfortunately, I don't think Astro Bot will make an impact on the industry that Mario Gakaxy did. I don't see many people talking about this game outside the internet
7:30 you can aim at all of them at once. Lol
Eh still dumb
You know unfortunately this is gonna be the new mascot for PlayStation probably. Man I miss the LittleBigPlanet days R.I.P. Game look great though
My favorite so far is the mouse level, it makes me think how fire an ant man video game would be.

Bottom text
My 3D platformer rankings:
1. Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2
2. Super Mario Odyssey
3. Astro Bot
4. Banjo Kazooie
5. Super Mario 64
6. Super Mario Sunshine
7. Balan Wonderland (just kidding)
Did not play it yet but I doubt it will have the atmosphere that made Galaxy 1 so good
Why did you have to give us a spoiler of Astro fake death? You didn’t even set a spoiler alert.
I really hope Astro bot remains PlayStations mascot and they don't axe him like sack boy
Astro Bot is honestly probably a better game, but my nostalgia is impenetrable!
I am so glad this game exists but I need another Spyro game
Isn't spyro referenced in astro bot just like the other characters in Playstations history
Oh and with the frog shit with the missiles: you actually don’t have to sit there and fire back at each one individually. You’re sucking up like 20 missiles and only need one per enemy. You legitimately just have to aim the cursor over each enemy after the first wave of missiles and boom, they’re all dead in like 5 seconds.
Ya didn’t know that still a pretty weak section tbh
@@C0LIN. Fair. Barely noticed because it’s kind of really a quick level
I find those sections pretty satisfying thought because of the haptic feedback @@C0LIN.
Spoiler warning would've been really cool...
Dude didnt like the simple cute bird boss fight. Lmao relax man
Never as good as Mario Games.
acting as if mario games are good except for like very few old ones and odyssey lol
astro bot still pretty much clears them
5:15 I don’t say it 100% doesn’t have inspirations, but I’m sick of people saying that every good platformer is inspired by Mario. I’ve never played Mario platformers, but if I would make one and if it would turn out to be 97/100 game people would probably say that it is the clone of Mario.
Like imagine if the new type of art is created and I use it to create many thing often not that hard to think about like for example beach, underwater or something. Now the question is: if someone will make something similar or with the same theme does it means he was making inspiration or copying me?
@TP-pq9xx I say I don’t know if developers were making inspirations or not + I was talking also about other platformers
Astro Bot had Cole McGrath in it (you don’t do that unless you care)
I’m planning on getting it. Especially with Play Station characters being in it just want to redo God of War, Uncharted and Horizon before I do this game.
In my opinion i just feel zelda an mario are the same game just in different universes an they both thrive! So i think astro an mario can be on the same stage an thrive as well as good platformers.
1:20 Horizon is a successful series, never got why people always bash it, the game is awesome.
The old Mario games did the names in the credits thing.
You sure you want an extra life system or game overs in this game? People say those things are outdated nowadays because of how inconvenient they make progress in gaming. Super Mario Odyssey didn't have them at all and got a lot of praise for it.
The dips in Astro Bot were too minor for me to warrant an entire point drop. Both games are masterpiece 10/10s. Would have to play both games back to back to confirm which is better though. Mario Odyssey’s movement freedom still edges it out for me as the king.
@@Yu7Zi both games are great,but more like 9/10.Mario odyssey is less impressive overall,its highs are great but its lows are worse.
@@ppo9200 any high and lows for Odyssey that come to mind. Surprised how poorly the sentiment around that game has aged over the years as I only played it 2 years ago.
Yes. By a Longshot. But it wouldn't be where it was without it.
how could anyone I MEAN ANYONE in their right mind say astro bot has better music. there are opinions sure. but you aren't allowed to have that opinion sorry
The Sony answer to some of Marios best platformers!
Don’t get me wrong it’s a fun as hell game but I think calling it for GOTY is blowing it out of proportion, like Helldivers 2 is or was a fun as hell game but GOTY it is Not 😅
Too bad that this game doesn't have a beautiful space waifu like the Mario Galaxy games do (i.e. Rosalina). Maybe in a DLC expansion or a sequel it could happen? Won't stop me from buying this game though. 👍
This is what happens when SweetBabyInc stays tf away from PlayStation Studios
You thought you cooked with that. Where you get that argument at from Ryan Kinel or thequartering
...
@TP-pq9xx absolutely not🤣
I'm not really sure if Collin even cares about anything related to Sweet Baby Inc.
No.
Free DLC with harder levels coming later this year 🔥
Was Astro Bot written by Peter David?
No otherwise we couldn’t criticize it
Short answer: Best game in the world
Blud are you fr? Man u look like a 5 year old who played just this game. Man go play some REAL games
Better then mario galaxy 1? Maybe, Better then galaxy 2? No
I’m the opposite. I think galaxy 1 is better than 2 and think astrobot is better than 2 but not 1.
@@TimDespairBear11galaxy is better only in story and maybe music, galaxy 2 is better.
do they have the spooky mountain men tho
eh I don’t know, if anything I feel like astrobot is pretty inspired by galaxy. (As a big galaxy AND astro bot fan)
Which one did you like more, Galaxy 2 or Astro Bot?
Haven’t played Galaxy 2 yet I’m gonna get around to it tho
@@C0LIN.DO IT. It's one of the GOATs in the Mario franchise.
It reminds me more of Little Big Planet more tbh
No but it’s damn close
Short answer is "NO"
3 PlayStation mascot levels? There’re 5. One at the end of each world
I liked the other 2 I just didn’t even know they were PS Mascots
@@C0LIN.Each of them is supposed to represent the console they started in. Ape escape ps1, God of war ps2, uncharted ps3, going loco psp, horizon ps4
Please Sony make more platformers
I feel like galaxy is better, but I respect the opinions of others😅
Nintendo got 24 hours to respond
A resounding yes.
This really isn't criticism towards the game I'm going to say here, but more questioning its position given where it exists.
Is this game really going to sell well enough to the point that Sony is willing to make a sequel out of this? Because most of the time there are rated E-E10 games in Sony, they never last that long, or if they do, they'll end up so far removed from what they started out as. Because this is the same company that actively portrays themselves as a game, you only play for the games rated T to M 90% of the time. So, having this cute little game that took half of the PS5 lifecycle to be released, yeah.... unless this game shockingly sells over 20 million despite all the odds. I don't think Sony would bother continuing as series like this, at least not anytime soon.
(Microsoft did this with Hi-fi rush this year, so this isn't out of the question all things considered)
Astro boy trying to keep Sony alive after PS5 pro and Concord.
Helldivers, rise of the ronin and stellar blade are also carrying Sony too
@@lastmonarchistproduction_253those suck tho
@@lastmonarchistproduction_253 I meant the last month. Sony still has great games I just meant that recently Sony has been struggling.
@@dablindscooter1973except helldivers
Astrobot flops though.
Astro bot is a masterpiece 👌 👏 🙌
The ps button challenge level can go to hell. And no, I dont believe that the next astro game should be harder. The game should be a relaxing game with little tedious aspects to it, just like the button challenge maps.
Not every game needs to be a souls level sweat fest. This game certainly should not be.
I'm with ya on that one. I sympathize with people that want more of a challenge, but for me I liked having a game to just sit back relax and have fun with. I already have plenty of challenging games to play so its nice to be able to just have a chill game every now and then. And yes, that final level was pain. Beat it, but still...
What about this game means that it should lack challenging levels.What you call tedious or frustrating is seen as thrilling and the highlight/peak of the game to others.
It’s crazy we get a special level dedicated to Horizon instead of a game franchise that is actually good or people have played
Yeah, this just reeks of Mario Galaxy all around
.......and boy, am I here for it, I just hope they give it to us on PC
Yep, not buying a PS5 for this but I would absolutely buy it for PC. It looks like so much fun!
@@GUS-fc3jgthe thing is the game is a tech showcase for the PS5. Don’t have hopes it gets ported because it has mechanics that REQUIRE use of a dualsense
@@Droub_ yeah, I really hope it gets ported but I seriously doubt it actually will. Technically, dual sense features can work on PC when the controller is plugged in, so they could port it, but seeing as the game is literally based on flying around a giant PlayStation I'd say chances are pretty low.
The game is definitely better than Super Mario Galaxy, but if it's as good or better than Super Mario 64 is what I'm still not sure of
It's better than 64. But not better than Galaxy.
Yes Astro Bot is better but between these games were 17 years and many of the Ideas that Astro Bot used were instpired by 3d Marios like Galaxy
HEEYYYYYYYYY MAN
I still play the game with that Ginger Girl 😂😂😂
The music is an extremely acquired taste id say
Astro or to me is much better than galaxy and rival odyssey it is my favorite Mario that to me is the only one to surpass super Mario world to me and at that it’s close because of nostalgia
No. But it is better than kirby and the forgotten land.
Nintendo gon sue
Not you bullying Aloy 😂😂
I don’t think it’s fairy to compare the two. Galaxy came out first and established a framework that Astro Bot took inspiration from and built off of. Astro Bot is also newer and has more polished controls than Galaxy does.
So it's better
@@Mr.scooter-le8yohard to quantify really. They’re both great. In the end I think it comes down to personal preference
@@Mr.scooter-le8yoNot really.
