Astro's Playroom is a joyously sincere celebration of all things PlayStation, with an oddly melancholic but comforting heart.

Astro's Playroom may not look like much on the surface—it's a fairly standard 3D platformer designed as a tech demo for the PlayStation 5's new DualSense controller. That said, despite enjoying my time with other next gen titles like Demon's Souls and Spider-Man Miles Morales, I've been utterly blown away by the joy, excitement and, oddly, melancholic nostalgia of this incredibly charming experience—fully convincing me of the power of the PS5's new features, as well as allowing me to reflect on the games of my youth and the people I played them with in a way I did not expect.
