Instead, Astro's Playroom is hands-down the finest PlayStation platformer in quite some time, and it's available for free.

Simply put: This is a loving tribute to 25 years of PlayStation made playable; a big gorgeous unlock-and-reference-fest of easter eggs, deep cut PlayStation peripherals and levels that see you play through PS1, PS2, PS3 and PS4-themed content.
