Christopher Dring: Astro Bot's UK sales (physical-only so far) aren't huge. Opening week is about a third lower than 2021's Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, but I expect a longer sales tail for Astro... (x.com)

The first game I bought for my dusty PS5 in years. I think the last one I bought was actually Rift Apart.

I'm looking forward to astro bot. But I'll be waiting for a sale.

Don't blame me! I wanted to pick it up but I need that money for groceries this week.

Folks at IGN beyond podcast told me you save money by not buying seasonings. Is that what you were planning to buy?

Is the plan "if you don't season your food it tastes bad so you won't eat"?

Wow it works in two ways. Smart!

Anecdotal but of all my IRL friends and colleagues, I’m the only person who has the game right now. Despite how much I tell them how good it is, and how much fun I’m having, a few don’t want to pay full price due to how short they’ve read the game is.

From the footage I've seen, it looks similar to games like Super Mario Galaxy and 3D world but with top tier graphics. Looks pretty interesting but I don't have a PS5 and never plan to own one.

You’re not wrong, I’d add some Crash Bandicoot inspired level designs as well as some Sackboy Big Adventures in there. It’s a wonderful game, hopefully they’ll bring it to PC for you to enjoy it (I’m assuming you’re gaming on PC).
