While the indefinite closure of Concord cast a shadow, the launch of Astro Bot, the highly anticipated 3D platformer, shone brightly, garnering overwhelmingly positive reviews.

The stark difference in critical reception between Astro Bot and Concord is striking. Astro Bot currently boasts a Metacritic score of 94, placing it among the top-rated standalone games of 2024. Only Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree expansion 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 contender. For a comprehensive review exploring Team ASOBI's remarkable achievement, please see our detailed analysis below!
