Here’s how Astro Bot took home the Best Game accolade at the #GameAwards2024 🏆 It’s no secret that Team ASOBI is one of the most innovative studios out there. A big part of what made their latest title so incredible is the testing and user research that shaped the final version, including: 🎮 Using the DualSense controller’s full capabilities, delivering tactile sensations like jet thrusters and spring-loaded vibrations, creating an immersive experience ⚖️ User testing ensured a perfect balance of difficulty and accessibility for both seasoned and new players 🧡 Iterative feedback from 'Astro’s Playroom' helped the team introduce player-favorite features like speedruns and more VIP bots 🌟 Prototyping new mechanics in isolation ensured that only the most engaging ideas made it into the game By focusing on the user experience, Team Asobi developed a game that people enjoy playing. It’s a reminder that every great game starts by putting players first and nothing helps refine that experience better than iterative user research. What are your thoughts on Astro Bot’s big win?
