Astro's Playroom was quite the surprise package at the launch of PS5.
It was easy to dismiss the game before release as a short 3D platformer that acts as a tech showcase for Sony's new DualSense controller. We've seen plenty of these things before: a mildly diverting demo of the new hardware you've just bought.
But Astro's Playroom turned out to be a genuinely delightful little game that was crammed with nostalgic references to PlayStation's past, while representing what we might get from its future. The Verge dubbed it 'PS5's Wii Sports' and Eurogamer said it is one of the best launch titles of all time. I have to agree.
