The Bad

• Sequences that rely on motion controls don't control well

Eurogamer "essential"

Sony leans into its PlayStation past in this frequently innovative, supremely charming old-school 3D platformer.

Pretty sweet. Granted I read that it's only a few hours, but hey, it's FREE. Wouldn't it be nice if Xbox Series X gave free games? Nah, you gotta get GamePass 😀😇

Almost, almost mind you; worth every penny. :P

Its a glorified tech demo

That's also fun, apparently.

Whats x-series x free bundle in game?

@ProtossRushX: 14 days of Gamepass.

Nice tech demo. Wonder if its able to be played coop, seems like a good fun time to show off next gen capabilities.

Meh. I guess it’s nice to having something included to mess around with it doesn’t look like anything I’d really do all that much with. I’d rather just use my time playing something else like Demon’s Souls instead.

@Archangel3371: it will be the best 3 hours of your life.

@SolidGame_basic: Somehow I seriously doubt that. 😅

Demon's Souls isn't on Xbox. Sorry bud.

@NathanDrakeSwag: Oh really? How observant of you. 😅

I'm not getting a PS5 for atleast a year but I'd like to try this.

Hopefully they make a sequel to Astro Bot, or atleast a spiritual succesor.

I'm looking forward to it when i get the PS5.

Does the Dualsense do a good job of interpreting Rumble instructions from older games too i wonder? e.g. A PS4 game.

@SolidGame_basic: The games included with Xbox will last you about 13 days and 21 hours longer than the games with ps5.

Just saying.

So how much do I have to pay for this 'free' game?

What I have been hearing is that in this game the Dual Sense battery only lasts around 2 hours. Other games like Miles Morales drain it in about 5 hours.

Found a video talking about this:

@glez13: Please tell me that video title is a joke. 😑

@SolidGame_basic: So a demo scored higher than the dlc then lol.

So this game demo lasts longer than the battery life, man someone needs to make a thread about this mocking Sony lol.
