Astro Bot Earns Rave Reviews Amidst Concord’s Dismal Launch
A Tale of Two Sony Extremes
As September 6th dawns, Sony finds itself in a bittersweet position. While the company faces the indefinite shutdown of Concord, its eagerly awaited game, Astro Bot, bursts onto the scene with glowing reviews. This stark contrast highlights the unpredictable nature of the gaming industry.
Astro Bot's critical acclaim stands in stark contrast to Concord's reception. At the time of writing, Astro Bot boasts a remarkable 94 score on Metacritic, making it one of the highest-rated standalone games of 2024 so far. Only the Elden Ring expansion, Shadow of the Erdtree, sits above it with a 95. Other notable releases include Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth at 92, and Animal Well and Balatro at 91 and 90, respectively.
Game8 awarded Astro Bot a stellar 96, praising the game's completeness and even suggesting it as a potential contender for Game of the Year (GOTY). For an in-depth look at how Team ASOBI has knocked it out of the park with Astro Bot, be sure to check out our comprehensive review below!
