Not that we’ve spent confronting eldritch and other horrors out to kill us that it’s about time we deserve some time in peace. And that’s why I’ve chosen to play this little game: Astro’s Playroom. It comes pre-installed on every PS5, ostensible as a tech demo for the features on the new controller.
Despite that, it’s a surprisingly good platforming game. Even better, there are a ton of nods to the history of PlayStation from across the years that are just perfect for people like me.
I’m excited to share it with you.
One of the joys of playing a game like this, especially with an audience, is the ability to recount the personal stories I have with some of the games being referenced and artifacts that we’ve found. Either we get to bond over our shared history, or by sharing pieces of our past with each other.
It’s also a great way to remind myself of my inevitable demise to the ever-encroaching vortex of time and space… if I were so inclined.
Fortunately, I’m not.
