YMMV / Astro Bot Rescue Mission

• More Popular Spin Off: Rescue Mission is actually the third video game developed by Team Asobi and serves as a Spiritual Successor to Asobi's The Playroom games, which first introduced the little robots that will shape into Astro Bot and his friends. Since its release, Rescue Mission far surpassed its predecessors in popularity and recognition, so much so that the next Playroom title was Astro's Playroom, further cementing the series' future direction.
• Surprise Difficulty: The game is a overwhelmingly cheery, family friendly platformer. While the main story mode is generally easy, the optional challenge levels can be exceptionally difficult. It can take dozens of tries to complete the time trials, even just squeaking by less than a second.
• Surprisingly Improved Sequel: The game follows up Team Asobi's first two titles The Playroom and its virtual reality counterpart The Playroom VR, both considered overall decent but forgettable ways to the PlayStation 4 and its VR headset respectively. Rescue Mission completely blows its predecessors out the water by presenting a more cohesive, complete experience and focusing on highlighting its genre's strengths through the VR headset while also featuring inventive gameplay ideas with said headset.
