Emphasis mine, but this ain't no indie game. This is first party Sony VR stuff. So what this really is is the old Sony fanfaggotry from the neogaf era resurfacing here, not surprising given the people that made the place.
More specifically, Astrobot was originally part of a VR collection of minigames back in... 2016 maybe. Just a short experimental thing. The recent release was an exclusive full VR game. Since 95% of VR releases are either shovelware junk or regular games with a tacked on VR mode, Astrobot is the closest thing to a normal game released on it. It's not bad but it's not even remotely close to Mario, so of course these idiots are jumping on it due to still being "loyal" Sony console warriors.
