Astro Bot Receives Overwhelmingly Positive Reviews Following Concord's Failed Launch
A Study in Contrasts: Sony's Two Sides
September 6th marked a significant day for Sony, a day of both triumph and disappointment. While the company navigates the indefinite closure of Concord, its new 3D platformer, Astro Bot, has debuted to exceptional critical praise.
The stark contrast between Astro Bot's reception and Concord's failure is striking. Astro Bot currently holds a remarkable 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 score of 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 the game's exceptional completeness and suggesting it as a potential Game of the Year (GOTY) contender. For a comprehensive review of Astro Bot and Team ASOBI's impressive achievement, please see our detailed analysis below!
