Solomon Thompson / 2 weeks ago
Astro Bot has made a significant impact in the gaming world as the top-rated game of 2024, exclusively on the PlayStation 5. The game has achieved a remarkable score of 94 on Metacritic, making it the highest-rated individual game this year, just behind the expansion for Elden Ring. Fans and critics alike are celebrating this new release for its engaging gameplay and charming design.
A New Standard in Platforming Games
Astro Bot has won widespread praise for its simplicity and ability to capture the player’s imagination. Many reviews have described the game as “more than just a game—it’s a celebration,” with special nods to its homage to classic PlayStation franchises. Despite some criticism about the recycling of mechanics from previous entries, these minor flaws have not stopped it from being recognized as one of the year’s best.
One reviewer on Metacritic said:
Astro Bot doesn’t just deliver on the promise and potential displayed in PS5 pack-in demo Astro’s Playroom, but soars above and beyond to serve up a near-perfect platformer to rival – and possibly surpass – the best of Super Mario’s Mushroom Kingdom romps.
Astro Bot was officially released on September 6, 2024, exclusively for the PS5. You can read more about why this game is making such waves on Metacritic.
