The format of these posts is simple: let’s discuss a specific game or series!
I’ve finally caved and paid 50 euros for a second hand copy of Astro Bot on PS5, and it is absolutely incredible. I know this game is only available to PS5 players, so I broadened the topic…

I’m sad Little Big Planet doesn’t get this love anymore. The first two games were fantastic platformers.
Thanks for reminding me! Those games were amazing and actually quite similar to Astro Bot in vibe: just wholesome, cute and positive all around!
I didn’t enjoy 3 that much, and the new Sackboy game is fun but seems like a different genre almost.
I did really like the PSP and PSVita entries of LBP, if you have access to those devices you should give them a go! Even though they weren’t made by the same team, they really captured the essence and both had a great campaign!
Sidenote, do you remember the millions of Shark Attack community levels? That was such a weird trend :).
