Don’t Die Mr Robot is one of those games that invites YouTube dislikes but shouldn’t be overlooked. The cheap and cheerful PlayStation 4 and Vita arcade title is free with PlayStation Plus this month, but its clip art-inspired visuals mean many will have tossed it into PlayStation Network purgatory, never to leave your library.
But it’s actually really fun: it’s an evasion game similar to Pacifist mode in Geometry Wars, where your primary objective is to get out of the way. With a selection of addictive modes and some uber-tight controls, you should definitely give this one a go – even if it does look like the type of thing a kid would make on a middle-school programming course.

Hey, I have played it alright. Nice casual fun that looks simple but can get quite addictive. Although Element4l still ranks higher with me this month.
People say graphics aren't everything, and they're not, but... Visuals are such an important part of an appealing game these days. It's a shame that such a good gameplay experience isn't better represented - does itself a disservice.
Bc no one wants that game lol
@CB7Tuner91
Lol
Because PS Plus has been giving us 90% trash for years, that's why lots of these games are ignored
Meh
I'll try it, it just has to be better than Sammy's other favorite game like this, Hungry Giraffe, the worst piece of software I've ever had the misfortune of playing. On a scale of 1-10 I gave that a minus 8,000 so there really is no where to go but up.
My kid has been playing the other 1, Chrome Video?, Video Chrome?, whatever, and enjoying that, so I'll let him give this a whirl as well.
I never heard of this actually.
@rjejr Can't believe you've stuck your neck out and said that. Lol. (giraffe / neck)
Hungry giraffe was way addictive.
The real excuse is not enough time to play the games I want to and own. Unless you can slow the earth rotation and get me a 30 hour day. Or fill in for me at work and take my wife and kids on a loan basis.
Bcoz .. its pretty pants!! Actually ... its ugly skiddy ys!!!!! Played half hour... shant play again!!!!
@ShogunRok People that say graphics don't matter are lying to themselves. Not every game needs to have the budget of Horizon, true — but these are video games, they're meant to be somewhat appealing to look at.
@themcnoisy @rjejr Hungry Giraffe was amazing!
@get2sammyb @themcnoisy "Hungry giraffe was way addictive."
So is picking my nose.
I played the first level of Robot and got a Silver my first try. I would have lasted longer but I stopped to look at the triangle w/ the exclamation point in it not knowing what it was, apparently it's a warning that something is coming out of the side to hit you, now I know. I will go back though, I'm curious.
Oh, and the Robot graphics are obviously inspired by the halcyon days of Compuserve and Prodigy. They are ugly, but that was glorious back in the day.
This game is so reminiscent of the Net Yaroze era.
But like most Net Yaroze games, it's likewise really short on content. Fun for a 15 minute break maybe but not a game to constantly return to like Pac-Man 256.
Sorry to say that I ended up passing on this one due to it reminding me of Pac-man 256 (which I ended up buying instead)...however, it was still in my mind to pick this one up, just too many other games came onto the shop that pushed it back more and more. Still looks fun, but reminded me more of Pac-man...and what is this Hungry Giraffe game about?
Youre video is on point! Got me interested an I will definitely give it a shot ( but I've seriously enjoyed 'Woah Dave', so It wasn't hard), but my point is - why is that, tone of people would've pee from excitement when Order 1886 has show up for free.. Actually I prefer free PSN games over triple A's I'm getting on discs anyways..
GO INDIE GO!
This game is pretty crap.
This gives most cell phone games a run for their money.
After Gone Home, I take all of Sammy's recommendations with a grain of salt. And sometimes a bucket of salt.
