Astro Bot Fans Need to Check Out This New Co-Op PS5 Game

Boti: Byteland Overclocked: A Solid Co-op Platformer for PS5

Boti: Byteland Overclocked, a newly released PS5 3D platformer, offers a compelling experience for fans seeking a game similar to the acclaimed Astro Bot. While not reaching the same heights of innovation, Boti delivers a satisfying platforming adventure, particularly enhanced by its co-op mode. Priced affordably at $19.99 (or $15.99 with PS Plus), it boasts "Mostly Positive" Steam reviews.

The game features a robotic theme and technological aesthetic, echoing the charm of Astro Bot. Although it may lack the polish and overall fun factor of Astro Bot or some PS5 classic platformers (accessible through PS Plus Premium, including Jak and Daxter and Sly Cooper), Boti provides a robust platforming experience. Its split-screen co-op mode significantly boosts its appeal, making it a more accessible and enjoyable option for players.

Boti joins a growing list of local co-op platformers on the PS5, including titles like The Smurfs: Dreams and Nikoderiko: The Magical World, each offering unique gameplay styles. While some may yearn for more Astro Bot content (Team Asobi has released post-launch updates), Boti presents a worthy alternative for those seeking a fun, co-op-focused 3D platforming experience.
