Sea of Stars: The Review

Astro Bot: The Review

Astro Bot : The Review Score: 10 out of 10 Overview : " Astro Bot is the definition of a perfect platformer with a variety of fun levels, wacky abilities and some of the most fun gameplay I've experienced all year.

Note: A free DLC expansion " Stellar Speedway" is releasing weekly from October 17th to November 14th and as such, we will be releasing a mini-review of the DLC on November 15th.
