Astro Bot Review Discussion and Spoilercast | Sacred Symbols+, Episode 407

It's me, Colin! Please welcome my loyal co-host Chris Ray Gun back to Sacred+, alongside Summon Sign host Brad Ellis and Punching Up co-host Gene Park. I've assembled this crew together for a lengthy chat all about Astro Bot, the recently-released and outrageously-delightful 3D platformer from Sony-owned Team Asobi. All four of us have Platinum'd the game -- so we've seen it about as well as you can imagine -- and we're eager to gush about our respective experiences. From rock-solid gameplay to a wonderful presentation that relentlessly celebrates PlayStation's storied past, we highly recommend Astro Bot to just about everyone with a PS5. But if you're looking to get into the nitty-gritty of the experience (rife with plenty of unapologetic spoilers), well then... feel free to join us on the other side of the play button.

Time to see when Colin bullies Brad.

Ben had the right idea telling his kids- he's playing it first! My kid spoiled almost every cool secret for me.

Btw fellas, you can set your dualsense to automatically mute it's mic when it's turned on. I've had it set this way since I had the console. Now the rare times I turn it on with the button on the console and I don't hear the sound effect, it feels wrong. Like when you hear a song from an album you used to listen to and after, a different song plays than the one you expect. Also, I think you guys had Returnal in mind when talking about active reload.

Shoutout to the Tony Hawk Pro Skater and Coolboarders references in Astro Bot. Astro even does a sick method grab if you get his snowboard from the gotcha machine.

Guys, I think Returnal is the game that you think has an active reload!

You can have your mic always muted if you go into the settings.
