This charming platformer has captivated audiences everywhere, receiving incredible reviews and widespread popularity. If you’re just jumping into the adorable world of Astro Bot, here’s how long you should plan on spending on the game to beat it. 

How long does it take to complete Astro Bot?

A typical playthrough for Astro Bot comes in at around 8 to 10 hours. This is the time it takes to beat the main storyline and beat the final boss. However, if you take the time to 100% the game and do the optional objectives, this time will increase.

To reach the final boss, you need to rescue at least 200 bots on your journey through the game. If you don’t save at least 200 bots through your playthrough, you can’t beat it. Luckily, it’s easy to return to missions and find things you missed, so this should be easy.

Astro Bot has optional levels for you to take part in, such as finding all the puzzle pieces and the ability to rescue more crew members. Of course, there are also plenty of trophies to unlock as well. If you want the full experience the game has to offer, plan on spending anywhere from 14 to 16 hours fully completing Astro Bot

How many levels are there in Astro Bot?

Astro Bot divides the game up into six different galaxies to explore, with a total of 37 levels to complete for the main storyline. These levels are necessary if you want to beat the final boss. 

However, there are tons of hidden levels to unlock for players to enjoy. With all the hidden levels and challenges, it totals up to around 80 levels to play. These hidden levels can be accessed a few different ways, such as secret exits in levels and flying over them when exploring the planets in a galaxy. 

Astro Bot is a delightful gem of a platformer that takes full advantage of everything the PS5 has to offer. While it’s not particularly long, only taking a few hours to beat, you’ll be having so much fun that you will want to put in the time and effort to snatch up all the collectibles and rescue all the bots.

While it does only take around eight hours to beat at minimum, you’re going to want to put in more time. Using all the abilities as much as you can is simply too much fun to miss out on.
