Best PSVR Games of 2018
Astro Bot Rescue Mission
Astro Bot and his friends’ first appearance was in The Playroom at the launch of the PlayStation 4. The free title showed off the power of the PS4 camera and the use of the Dualshock 4 touchpad.
When Playroom released, I don’t think many people would have expected PlayStation VR to launch so soon, let alone one of its best games to be a platformer starring the little robots.
Much like Moss, Astro Bot Rescue Mission proves that well-known genres can work well in VR, and it uses head movement in gameplay throughout so that it’s more than just moving your little friend around the world.
It’s all so charming, though. Astro waves at you as he runs by your face, the levels are varied and beautiful, and the boss fights are incredible. The bosses tower above you, changing the level as they move, and you need to use everything you can see to defeat them. Never have bosses truly felt like gigantic, powerful creatures as much as they do here.
