Astro Bot, sequel to Astro’s Playroom, came without much fanfare but absolutely surprised the gaming world with its charming characters and overall fun vibes. We unpack the game’s success and what makes it so fun and appealing, as well as look at the state of platformers now, and whether there is still room for the genre (Nintendo aside) among gamers.
