Astro Bot's Triumph Amidst Concord's Failure
Two Sides of the Same Coin: Sony's Contrasting Fortunes
September 6th presented Sony with a mixed bag. While the indefinite closure of Concord casts a shadow, the overwhelmingly positive reception of its new 3D platformer, Astro Bot, shines brightly.
The critical success of Astro Bot is a dramatic counterpoint to Concord's failure. Currently boasting a Metacritic score of 94, Astro Bot ranks among the highest-rated standalone games of 2024. Only Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree expansion, with a score of 95, surpasses it. 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 perfect 96, highlighting its completeness and even suggesting it as a potential Game of the Year (GOTY) contender. For a detailed review of Astro Bot and Team ASOBI's exceptional achievement, please see our full review below!
