Astro Bot Earns Rave Reviews Amidst Concord’s Dismal Launch
On September 6th, Sony faced a mix of emotions. As the company dealt with the indefinite shutdown of Concord, its eagerly awaited 3D platformer, Astro Bot, launched to overwhelmingly positive reviews.
Astro Bot's critical acclaim sharply contrasts with the reception of Concord. Currently, Astro Bot holds an impressive 94 on Metacritic, positioning it as one of the top-rated standalone games of 2024. It's only surpassed by the Elden Ring expansion, Shadow of the Erdtree, which scored a 95. Other standout releases this year include Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth at 92, and Animal Well and Balatro at 91 and 90, respectively.
Game8 rated Astro Bot at a stellar 96, commending its completeness and even proposing it as a potential Game of the Year (GOTY) candidate. For a detailed analysis of Astro Bot and how Team ASOBI excelled, explore our comprehensive review below!
