The illusion is incredible, making me feel way more connected to the events on screen than I would without this tension. Adding the PS5 Pro Artifact could be a good excuse for players to return to Astro’s Playroom. The game also has one of the easiest platinum trophies on PS5, so completing all levels can be quite rewarding as well. To unlock the ability to find and collect all the Special Bots in Astro’s Playroom, you must have reached and completed the 1994 Throwback stage. This is the final stage and section of the game, so you must complete the game’s main objective so that these special bots will be available to collect.

Check the tree trunk here to find the clock depicted on the tube’s screen earlier. Special Bots are hidden Bots scattered throughout each biome of Astro’s Playroom, and were added in the lead-up to the sequel, Astro Bot. Each represents a VIP Bot from Astro Bot, and can be found in the Mission Control Room of the new Labo Basement area once you’ve freed them. They will only appear after you’ve unlocked and completed 1994 Throwback.

In the game, the player teams up with Captain Astro and goes on a quest to rescue his lost crew scattered across different worlds. Embark on the journey to unlock all trophies in Astro Playroom with confidence! This charming game is designed to be fun and accessible‚ making it an ideal starting point for new trophy hunters. With its creative levels and nostalgic charm‚ every trophy earned feels like a celebration of your progress. Don’t hesitate to explore and experiment—the game’s forgiving nature ensures no missable trophies. [newline]Whether you’re aiming for the Platinum or just enjoying the ride‚ Astro Playroom offers a memorable experience that showcases the magic of gaming.

The real gimmick of Astro’s Playroom is the utilization of the DualSense controller. Players can feel the vibrations simulated from the game, like raindrops on Astro’s head, or feel the strong gusts of wind, the feeling of walking on a sandy beach, and many more. There are OK365 where Astro must ascend while in a miniature rocket, and players must exert more effort pressing the adaptive triggers. It’s worth noting however that this isn’t the same model from the demo. Other stages are linear platforming challenges that use Astro’s laser-powered hover-jump. These portions are also pretty forgiving, with generous checkpoints and obstacles that provide just enough resistance to make you pause a moment, but not so much that you get stuck.

Puzzle pieces are hidden throughout Astro Playroom’s levels‚ often in hard-to-reach areas. Use Astro’s abilities like spin attacks and gliding to access hidden spots. Each hub world‚ like GPU Jungle‚ contains multiple pieces across its four areas. Collecting all pieces unlocks special rewards and contributes to trophy progress.

When one hits you, Astro will be reset to the last checkpoint, and Selene’s capsule will open. These four bots are completely optional, so if you don’t have the time (or the storage space to redownload Astro’s Playroom), know that they won’t give you much of an advantage in Astro Bot. And yet, even when Astro is pulling off his most basic moves in familiar environments, this game feels revelatory. The PS5’s new controller combines a built-in speaker with vibrating haptics to make interacting with the world feel like it’s literally happening in your hand.

Some Special Bots require specific actions or interactions to be rescued. This might involve using the DualSense controller’s features, such as blowing into the microphone or using the touchpad to manipulate objects. Other Special Bots might require solving simple puzzles or completing platforming challenges.

Toro the cat filled the role to a degree in Japan but he never fronted any major games and has since faded from the limelight. But now there is a new challenger and while Astro isn’t much of a character his games are becoming some of the best in Sony’s line-up. Let us know in the comments section, and be sure to refer to our Astro’s Playroom guide for more collectibles guides.

Now jump back out and left to land on a silver switch, raising a block that helps you jump up to a second switch. Land on that one to raise another platform that lets you reach Puzzle Piece #4. Other players view this game as a culmination of the PlayStation legacy after Astro’s Playroom featured almost every console generation, accessories, characters, and iconic locations.

Before you do that, stand on the edge just to the left of where you need to pull the chest from the ground. Doing so reveals the riddle for this area, which is a rather cryptic space outfit. The robots from the VR classic find new footing on the PS5 in Astro’s Playroom from the PS5 reveal event. Maybe the most impressive piece of the PlayStation 5 hardware is its new controller, but it’ll only be as good as the games that support it.

Move controllers were also used for the hand-tracking controllers, although some games used the DualShock 4. The DualShock Controller is one of the most recognizable pieces of PlayStation history, and replaced the original pad as the pack-in controller. It added twin analog sticks (which could be pressed in for L3 and R3), a small and large rumble motor in either handle, and increased the height of the L2 and R2 buttons.

When you get to the section where you have to hop along a rolling hexagon, at the start will be a Bot using a pair of golden scissors inside a frame. This references Puppeteer, a 2013 PS3 game developed by SIE Japan Studio. The game takes place entirely within a stage, with main character Kutaro who uses Calibrus, a magic pair of scissors.

If you get it wrong, then you’ll need to scale the hill again, grab another bunch of bananas, and retry the dance minigame. If you’re successful, you’ll unlock the bot and get the “No Escape! Go back along to the front of the blue pipes and the sandstorm, and this time, go along the outside on the right. Go past the PlayStation face button symbols in the sand, and punch the shell tucked away under the pipe towards the end. To solve the riddle, jump up to the circular platforms above this area, where on the far side, you’ll see a little clock on the column.

Astro Bot is a deluge of PlayStation cameos, and some even get their own, full levels. Jump onto the lilypads, and leap across, but be careful not to fall in the frozen water as that’s lethal! Just a few days ago, we added a second Special Bot, Selene, from the PS5 title Returnal.
