Astro Bot: Stellar Speedway DLC: The Mini-Review

Astro Bot: Stellar Speedway DLC: The Mini-Review

Score: 7 out of 10

Overview: "Astro Bot: Stellar Speedway DLC is a fun, albeit simple, free DLC expansion for Astro Bot. With 5 short levels, the DLC packs some extra fun to an already great campaign however, it's gone as quickly as it came. It shall be a fun extra challenge for newcomers of Astro Bot but a very short return to players who've finished the game already".

The Positives

  • Astro Bot: Stellar Speedway continues the trend set by Astro's Playroom in making some really fun gameplay out of speed run levels;
  • A couple of new Bots are added, continuing to showcase some of PlayStation's newer franchises like Stellar Blade, Helldivers and Rise of the Ronin;
  • The levels being speed run levels do allow for some replayability as you attempt to obtain a better time to beat your friends and top the leaderboard;

The Negatives

    • The runtime of the DLC is pretty short, probably not taking you more than 20 minutes to complete, which makes this a pretty quick detour rather than an exciting side-quest;
    • The levels (only five) do reuse the environments from the base game which doesn't allow for the levels to become memorable and exciting as some of the ones from the base game.
