Watch out though… your enemies will be coming for YOU, too.
Review: It boggles my imagination and leaves me oddly confused! No, not Astro Bot: Rescue Mission, but the fact that there aren’t hundreds of platform games in VR!? Its a genre that works so well, makes even the most shallow of games seem much deeper and beautiful and yet it is also one of the most underused genre in VR! Rant aside, Astro Bot: Rescue Mission is a fantastic game and while I will admit it is a little pricy, it feels so great to play you can excuse its lack of value for money. If you love your platform games play this, then you will be left wondering why there isn’t more of them, much like I am.
