Sony's latest release, Astro Bot, has swiftly captured the hearts of critics and gamers alike, earning widespread acclaim just hours after its debut. This remarkable success story shines brightly against the backdrop of Concord's disappointing launch, highlighting the contrasting fortunes of two high-profile Sony titles.
On September 6th, Sony finds itself navigating a rollercoaster of emotions. As the company deals with the indefinite shutdown of Concord, its much-anticipated 3D platformer, Astro Bot, steps into the limelight with glowing reviews and high praise.
The critical reception of Astro Bot couldn't be more different from that of Concord. As of now, Astro Bot boasts an impressive 94 on Metacritic, making it one of the top-rated standalone games of 2024. It trails just behind the Elden Ring expansion, Shadow of the Erdtree, which holds a 95. Other notable releases this year, such as Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, scored 92, while Animal Well and Balato achieved 91 and 90, respectively.
Game8 awarded Astro Bot a stellar 96, commending its completeness and even suggesting it as a strong contender for Game of the Year (GOTY). To dive deeper into why Astro Bot has been such a hit and how Team ASOBI has excelled, be sure to check out our comprehensive review below!
