I'm only halfway through RE Requiem and I'm already looking forward to playing it again.

Astro Bot PS5 When the PS5 mothership is attacked by ASTRO’s long-standing galactic nemesis, scrambling its wires and scattering the crew throughout space, only ASTRO can make things right! Setting off on his biggest mission yet, he needs your help to rescue the stranded crew and rebuild the mothership. Make the most of ASTRO’s new power-ups, handcrafted to level up your immersion: from springy punches and rockets all the way to a giant sponge! Buckle up for some epic PlayStation camaraderie, join forces with your favourite PlayStation icons and show the universe that small is mighty in this fresh new ASTRO adventure, exclusive to PS5 consoles!

Astro Bot is down to its lowest price ever ($32.99, -45%): amzn.to/4qVxoHy

I haven’t noticed anything besides his usual pinball sounds while I’m editing.

We'll record this week's Game Scoop! episode tomorrow so we can cover the State of Play. So it will go live either late tomorrow or early Saturday.
