Astro Bot's launch has been met with widespread critical praise, achieving remarkable success just hours after its release. This article explores Astro Bot's triumph and its striking contrast to the disappointing performance of Concord.
Astro Bot Receives Stellar Reviews Despite Concord's Failure
Two Sides of the Same Coin: Sony's Success and Setback
September 6th marks a mixed bag for Sony. While the company navigates the indefinite closure of Concord, its new 3D platformer, Astro Bot, is receiving overwhelmingly positive reviews.
This critical acclaim for Astro Bot sharply contrasts with the poor reception of Concord. Currently, Astro Bot boasts a Metacritic score of 94, placing it among the highest-rated standalone games of 2024. Only Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree expansion surpasses it with a 95. Other top-rated releases include Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth (both at 92), Animal Well (91), and Balato (90).
Game8 awarded Astro Bot a 96, highlighting its polished feel and even suggesting it as a potential Game of the Year contender. For a comprehensive review detailing Astro Bot's exceptional quality and Team ASOBI's achievement, please see our review below!
