The Charmingly Nostalgic World of Astro's Playroom (Videogame Retrospectives) 

Bit of a different video today everyone! I spent several weeks putting together something non-horror game themed that I was really passionate about making. Let me know if you'd like more videos like this in the future from time to time.

I'm glad that other people love astro's playroom,it was one of my favorite games.

Glad you aren’t only making horror game videos. I would love more videos like this every month!

a super pleasant surprise!! hearing your typical narrative script in the context of non horror games is interesting and id love to see more!

17:12 That one Astro is really giving heavy metal😂 The happy dance after defeating the dinosaur is adorable! As well as many things in this game I suppose))

I guess his mind needed to take a break from playing horror due to how traumatized it is.

I really wish astro's playroom was longer, it was SO much fun 😢

I loved it so much! You might be Super Horror Bro, but that doesn’t mean we don’t appreciate other kind of content. As long as you’re happy with it, and it looks like it, we are here for the ride

I liked this a bit of a relaxing change from analyzing horror games to just research the PS5 and others I like this and would enjoy seeing some more videos like this in the future

Holy the amount of memories that just came flooding back. Good, better times.

Finally, Astro’s Playroom gets the recognition it deserves

It was genuinely saddening getting all trophies in the game. It was so good and the world was the most alive.

I've always wanted you to branch out from horror videos, as I really love your video style and vibe, so I'm all for this! I would love to see you go through the Cult in Night in the Woods, theories about Firewatch, any Nintendo games, or just more videos about games you're passionate about, like Astro! Great work as always

The PS2 boot up sound gave me such a big hit of nostalgia! That was great!

An non expect suprise but a welcome one ❤

I've been wanting to make a video of the Astro/Playroom series for a while and I'm happy to see other covering it. Definitely one of the most unappreciated Sony mascots

I played Astro's Playroom as my 3rd Playstation 5 game. First was Marvel's Spider-Man Miles Morales, which Insomniac really did a great job and I 100% it in 3 days. Second was God Fall, where I was interested in the story but stopped playing after the first level because I got bored and haven't touched it since. And Astro's Playroom third and I believed that game was the game to use the PS5's capabilities. I even 100% it I might just go back and revisit it. Plus I love these kinds of videos a lot so maybe you may make more in the future.

That PS4 main menu theme making the begining very nice

I remembered seeing, in the collection room, two Astros digging through a pile of games and started crying a bit. I saw myself and my cousins, around maybe 6-7 years old, at my aunt's house, trying to decide which game to play on her ps1. I miss those days so much! 😢❤😊 Also, didn't Spyro the Dragon show up in the GPU jungle?

This notification actually jumpscared me lmao Mike uploading something not related to horror is actually pretty scary Really, I was not expecting this but I'll certainly enjoy this :D

I love the more passion project attribute to this video, just know that we love to hear about it! Great video!

I love this game!! It’s so cute and unique and fun, I wish it was longer!

I’d love to see a full fleshed out Astro game. I played this a lot while recovering from a major surgery and it has a special place in my game library.

You know there are no new horror games when the horror focused channel makes a video about Astros playroom

would love this for a large amount of games not new ones only but also for old ones as well. i really enjoy lore explaining videos it makes the game more interesting to play

This is a nice change from all the horror. I've owned the PlayStation 5 for less than a year, and Astro's Playroom was the first thing I played before anything else. I've never had so much fun in a video game before. And that's saying a lot from someone who's played dozens of games off of several platforms.

Bro bringing back 2017 and 1996 memories. Mad respect

I know it may not be the popular thing on your channel. But I love it, and I'd love to see more

Didn't expect you branch out! Would love to see more!

I'd be down for more content like this. I love your reflective dives into games and stories, so having more options to do that sounds like a fun idea. Of course, whatever you want to do is most important. Dont burn yourself out or make content just because people are asking for it.

As someone who's currently playing through Astro Bot's first game on the PSVR on the PS4, I can confirm this is a brilliant video, brilliant work mate ❤

When I played Astro's playroom I was so taken aback by just how simple and fun it was. Cuz I've grown up with every era of Playstation, this had such a Zen vibe to it. When Astro Bot was announced I was so excited because it was more of the same thing which is what all of us who loved it, wanted. Fact that they updated the playroom game to include new content with a secret room and portal just has such an air of synergy that just continues to delight. It's hard to describe it but this game and now series, just brings me back to being a kid with that sense of grand wonder and feeling of everything we've played being all interconnected.

I really like Astro's Playroom mostly because of the nostalgia that's scattered almost everywhere within the in-game world! That said, I am interested seeing you play non-horror games as well, or make an in-depth analysis like this one~!

Astro's Playroom enjoyers rise up 🗣️🗣️

This game is so underrated ngl. It's one of my fave ps5 games.

Who cares if it's different from the usual content. A channel needs to spice itself up one way or another by doing something different. Something like this every once in a while, would be fine by me. This was a great video to watch

Astro got me, my nieces, and my nephews through some times. Great video and I’d love to see more!

You know, it’s always good to have some variety, not just have horror games, so keep it up, man.

I love when you explain games and their lore, long videos are my favorite!

This made me so happy, It reminds me how much my brother asks me to help him with these stages. He's OBESSED and I'm glad one of my favorite RU-vidrs shares an interest with my baby brother 😭💗

Oh hell yes. More please. Long form video game essays are my favorite content, and I think it suits your style well!

Yes, please! I absolutely enjoy your content. Each day I check to see what's new.

It's nice seeing you branch out 🥰 thanks for putting this out there 👍✨

I watched my dad play this game! I completely forgot until now, thank you for bringing back those memories. Also, I love this kind of video. Pls fo it more.

This is an amazing change!! We love to see growth and welcome all content from you!

Never thought you’d branch out from your usual horror content, but I would love to see more! I’m so glad astro’s playroom is getting more recognition.

I'm literally gonna watch any video you post because I absolutely love the way you make them and the way you explain things! So yes, please keep posting non-horror themed content as well as your normal content!

What a cool idea on this awesome SuperHorrorBro video.

I am all for this! A pleasant change of pace 😊

I'd like more of this kind of videos as well! I love watching the horror content you always bring but hearing you covering non-horror related content its also amazing, perhaps its because I enjoy every content you bring but wherever the reason, if its something you would like to bring to the channel I don't mind, I love the idea.

Astro's Playroom was the first thing i ever played on my PS5, and boy am I glad i got to experience it. One of my favorite games that i could just relax to some days, and really go hard on others. It was also so much fun to check everything out in the meuseum. Everything was so detailed, it was aparent how much care and love was put into every little bit.

I like that you decided to spice up the content. It's very cool.

Such an adorable nugget. Amazing video , as always 🎉

I never had a PlayStation but watching this video makes me wish I did! Also glad to see a new type of video. Can't wait too see what comes next

REALLY need the "Explanation" video about BugSnax, because not only is that a fun game with LOTS of lore throughout the game, but the psychological horror that's been cleverly hidden is right there!

I enjoyed this video as a change of pace. I'd love to see more like this video. So much nostalgia.

I loved this little retrospective it makes me feel even more excited to buy a PS5. Thank you so much for this Mike, I hope you do more retrospectives like this in the future

Your voice is rather calming, and it really helps me focus. Any game you cover I will happily listen to while trying to focus at work! I would love to see you do more than horror as the new horror games have been a little mid and for you to cover games you love and like to play! ^^ ✨

yes yes! i have wanted this for a long time, you have too much skill to just use it for horror games! i would also like an seperate channel that you upload these essay-esque for other games! keep it up😁

This was one of the least expected videos I’ve ever seen, yet I like it!

ty for addressing this game i played it a few days ago it took me two days to get everything its nice to see the different versions its very nostalgic.

You’re my favourite RU-vidr shb and you taking a relaxing approach compared to horror games is 😌😊

This is amazing! I love the horror explained videos you make! they are always so spooky and fun but this video is such a breath of fresh air I absolutely love it🌟it would be amazing to see more games like it

I was so suprised when this popped up in my notifications! I've been a huge fan of Astro since I first saw the Playroom demo. It's actually what made me want a PS5 lol. I'd love to see more content like this from you, I definitely think you have a good "Essay Video" voice. And it'd be cool seeing you discuss more games your passionate about!

I would love to see more retrospective stuff from you that’s not just horror stuff!

I’ve been watching since the BATIM 1, you should definitely do more of this sorta stuff as there’s not always a lot of horror themed games to talk about

I was so excited for your second channel that would cover more games like these but noticed it never took off. I would be thrilled if you continued making videos like this on the main channel.

It was a quite wonderful and wholesome video. Astro and Astro's playroom is such a cute gem.

I REALLY hope Astro will get another full on game like Astro Bot: Rescue Mission because Astro’s Playroom has left me craving more!

I must say this was an unexpected video to see uploaded to your channel, but I welcome it with open arms I will say Astro's Playroom is a great PS5 tech demo and a brilliant full game even if you're going or not going for 100% if you are or not a PlayStation fan yourself! (I would like to see more of these in the future as like breaks inbetween your usual horror content and with that cheerio for now Mike and I'll see you on the next one!)

I really this when you do non horror games from time to time, it’s neat

Well, I come here to watch some horror game, but well, I mean even though it's not a horror game, the detailed explanation is still spot on. Good job.

This is pretty cool. I’d like to see more videos like this

Im glad astros playroom got some love its great and good and yea id like you to makemore of these essays videos

The PSX and PS2 bootup sounds gave me legit goosebumps. Damn those were awesome simpler times. Where games were shipped without day one patches and savegames were put on a memorycard.

I don't blame you for switching it up at all. Talking about horror games all the time would get very very very old.

I love how this isnt a horror game video but its just really calm

I'd love to see more non-horror games. This game looks absolutely cute. And fun. Thanks for uploading this, Mike.

This is a really cute video, Mike! I enjoyed it a lot and you explain everything really well! I’m getting the PS5 soon too so this was informative 😊😊

This is my favourite game I’m so glad you got to play it

I never played the game, mainly cause I thought astro was just some mascot and not an entire game, so I'm surprised to find out there was such a history connected to it. Really liked the video hope you keep it up :)

I love playing it and also you should do a lot like this more often

Very enjoyable can't wait for more videos like this

Always nice to see Astro's Playroom! I'm interested in seeing non-horror content!

Aaa would love to see you do non-horror games on another channel if you ever wanted to! This is lovely!

Who else had no clue he had a second channel??? But yes I would love more video essays in here

Every PS5 owner needs to play this first before anything else. This game is perfect. The gameplay is very unique on every level, the attention to detail is great and showcasing the DualSense controller in a fun way is clever.

I'd love to see some coverage of non-horror games on this channel! It feels like a very nice and welcome change of pace and atmosphere on the channel that I would like to see more of

That T-Rex is so iconic and instantly recognizable. It’s so amazing 😁 I love this game and I adore Astro Bot with all of my soul

Finally someone who can understand how good Astros play room is, thank you Superhorrorbro

I really enjoyed this video, Mike! ❤️ I would love to see you cover non-horror games whenever you want :3

Did not expect this but I'm happy because I loved this game

keep doing stuff like this. it's great to try something new.

Astro’s such a goat, bruh. Genuinely thank you for this video

Absolute respect for this video. Gotta love Astro Bot

Remember seeing someone do a review of Rescue Robots and falling in love with the characters and look. I was tempted to get it because it looked to take advantage of the VR capabilities. Besides a few games I'd like to play on the system, I think this would be a big push for me to get a PS5. Sometimes simple is better.

Thinking back on all the jumpscares and monsters we watched you die to…I guess I forgot you’re an actual gamer ❤ love to see it

Best ...most funny running animation I ever seen 😂❤

Astro’s Playroom was such a fun game! Hopefully we get another Astro game. The concept was so interesting too. It was my first platinum too
