Wonderful use of VR
I kept reading online that "Astro Bot Rescue Mission" was one of the best games available for PSVR. But at a $40 price tag, I couldn't take the leap.

Then a few weeks ago it went on sale for $19.99, so I finally decided to give it a try. And I was completely impressed!

This game really makes you feel like you are a giant robot in a world full of small robots. You control one of the little bots through levels filled with platforming challenges, but VR changes how things work. For example, you might want to make your character run back behind you. In a normal game, you'd have to mess with camera controls, but with this one, you just turn your head to follow him.

If he needs to go up platforms to a bridge far above you, you look up and guide him across using his shadow. If you look down and see a hole in the ground with a collectible item, you can guide him down into the hole to collect it.

Basically, it's like playing a 3D Mario game in a whole new way. I was blown away and played all the way through it, then went back to find the collectibles I had missed.

I would recommend this to anyone new to VR. And I get motion sick easily, but this game never made me sick. A+

Apart from the fact I get a little dizzy when I move too much while playing this on VR, I really like this platform game. You have to work your way through the levels of the worlds freeing and collecting your little robot buddies who are in peril and then beat the boss at the end of each world.

Alright game to set you off on the VR headset, but its repetitive and has no challenge to it. Would be a good game for kids but they cant use the VR headset till they are a certain age so it's pointless
