A Study in Contrasts: Sony's Two Sides

Sony's Astro Bot Opens to Critical Acclaim in Stark Contrast to Concord's Massive Flop September 6th presents a mixed bag for Sony. While the company navigates the indefinite closure of Concord, its new 3D platformer, Astro Bot, launches to overwhelmingly positive reviews.

Only Elden Ring’s expansion, Shadow of the Erdtree (95), surpasses it. Other notable titles include Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth (both 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 contender. For a comprehensive review detailing Astro Bot's exceptional quality and Team ASOBI's masterful execution, read our full review (link to review).
