Sony's Astro Bot has received overwhelmingly positive critical response, achieving widespread acclaim mere hours after its release. This success story stands in sharp contrast to the disappointing launch of Concord, highlighting the unpredictable nature of the gaming industry. Learn more about Astro Bot's triumph and its divergence from Concord's failure below.
September 6th marked a day of mixed fortunes for Sony. While the company navigates the indefinite closure of Concord, its ambitious 3D platformer, Astro Bot, has launched to rave reviews.
The critical reception of Astro Bot is a stark counterpoint to the underwhelming performance of Concord. At the time of this writing, Astro Bot boasts a Metacritic score of 94, placing it among the top-rated standalone games of 2024. Only Elden Ring's expansion, Shadow of the Erdtree, surpasses it with a score of 95. Other high-scoring 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 exceptional completeness and even suggesting it as a potential Game of the Year (GOTY) candidate. For a comprehensive review detailing Astro Bot's remarkable achievement by Team ASOBI, please see our review linked below!
