Astro Bot is incredible. Astro’s Playroom was awesome, and this is that on steroids. It’s the Playstaion’s Super Mario Galaxy. This is one of those games that I’m happy to pay full price for. It’s $60 and not 70 which is another W. As gamers, we need to support these kinds of games. This is a fun, complete experience that doesn’t waste your time and money. No microtransactions, no season pass or battle pass, no roadmap, there’s a deluxe upgrade but no gold, ultimate, complete, collector’s edition nonsense, and no need for a hundred patches and updates because the game works on day 1. And on top of all that, the game is just a good time to play, straight up. Just pick up the controller and go, nice and simple. It's all about fun, which is what gaming should be. If you're as tired of money-eating gaming trends as I am, buy Astro Bot. Vote with your wallet. Please enjoy this wonderful game, which has had so much love and passion put into it. It's an obvious must-play if you're a Playstation fan, a platformer fan, or if you just wanna have fun. As someone who's played most of the games that are honored in Astro Bot, I feel like it was made just for me. It's a love letter to the last 30 years of Playstation excellence. I highly recommend it.

Sifu is a fantastic kung fu Game. The graphics remind me of "Life is Strange" but the combat reminds me of the Batman Arkham games or Sleeping Dogs, but it's a little more difficult and intricate. Sifu takes a bit of time to learn, but once you're familiar with parrying, dodging, takedowns, weapons, etc, it's a blast to run through the levels and kill or spare the bosses. I think a game like this could be expanded and improved in a sequel and I would love if that happens. This is probably my second favorite game of 2022, only behind Elden Ring.
