00:00It is February 2nd, 1993. Welcome aboard. The entire universe awaits.
00:18Hi, I'm Nori, your non-organic robotic intelligence.
00:23Astra is a beautiful space travel story told via cassette tapes from a mother to her little girl.
00:31The narrator's voice, Taylor Page, sounds just like Scarlett Johansson.
00:36It's very soft and soothing and overlays this story perfectly.
00:42The locations are stunning.
00:44They could be better as the backdrops are mainly pictures, but it is forgivable.
00:50Now, I wish I could have scored this higher, but of all the planets that are in front of you to discover,
00:56you can only actually visit five locations and there are a few other visuals that lend to the story also.
01:04I really hope they will be upgrading this with more planets unlocked to visit.
01:09The pass-through is pretty cool.
01:11Turn your room into a spaceship.
01:14Then from there, you can beam down onto each planet to discover more about them.
01:19For the $7, $8 price tag, it's a nice story that you get to take part in and it lasts for about 40 minutes.
01:27This is not a game, so don't expect free travel or blasting of any aliens.
01:33I would like to see a free roam section added for after when you have completed the story,
01:39so you can go back and revisit the planets that you have been to, which would help give it replayability.
01:46Because as of right now, I have no interest to go back and replay the entire experience.
01:52However, I would have liked to have revisited some of those planets.
01:56So anyway, I score Astra a 21 out of 25.
02:02You can find my scoring system in the description section below.
