Don't worry I read the title in the noise one of the astrobots would make.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Fluid gameplay, solid frame rates it’s a game for everybody.

I never seen a game get more than 89 reviews and continue to rise. Its crazy.

 

[TintoConCasera]

bazzed

 

[Gamer79]

It is an awesome game.

 

[Little Mac]

I just platinum'd it a few hours ago. The score is appropriate.

 

[AyraSutoraifu]

Reported.

 

[Bond007]

Its a great game thats for sure.
I think we all needed this back to the roots sort of videogame. It shows in the response and appeal.

 

[Banjo64]

I hope this has a similar revolutionary effect on Sony that TLoU had.

Fun first.

‘Deep narratives’ out the door.

 

[LavitzSlambert]

Much like the prices of Sony's consoles and peripherals, the number is only going up.

I guess people who like Funko Pops really like Funko Pops

Gawd i hope this a watershed moment….

Games don’t have to all be big open world collect-o-thons with “deep narratives” (which typically never are), then Can be polished fun experiences made with smaller teams.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

And it's STILL at 94 after 117 reviews. wow...

 

[Nankatsu]

Can't wait to get mine.

But I gotta stay strong and finish Rebirth first.

 

[MSduderino]

That's what happens when you make one of the most fun games of all time.

 

[The artful mincer]

So what you saying?

People seem to like it

 

[Senua]

User scores are almost meaningless on Metacritic, the 94 Critic review score is way more impressive.

 

[Zacfoldor]

From a longtime Nintendo fan, this game is like getting a new, reimagined 3D Mario. It is literally the best gameplay, imagination, exploration, put out by a Sony studio, including GoW 2018 and The Last of Us 1. The quality of the gameplay is better.

Tis legend. Buy it and add your own 10 to the userscore on metacritc. This is why I game!

 

[Shakka43]

When it is Astro Bot everybody plays, we all win.

Xbox fan review bombing no longer required now MS have given up

 

[Vick]

I mean, game is a masterclass from start to finish. A genuine love letter to videogames as well as a celebration of PS, but just VG in general, history.

Deserves the love.

 

[ReyBrujo]

The game has also been benefited by the Concord/DEI fiasco, you can read reviews mentioning that. It's not just a good game, it's a good game released at the right time.

 

[Radioskugga]

Someone is a bit salty for not having a PS5.

I wouldn't use Gow 2018 and the last of us as examples as if those were sony's best games lol

Hell uc2 and God of war 2 (ps2) are better examples lol

 

[ItJustWorks]

Does astrobot have better music than say...Mario Galaxy? My platformers gotta have great music lol

The Astro games have god tier music…

Realistically only Zelda has a shot at beating it for GOTY this year. It has its work cut out in order to do that.

Not a chance for a low rent Zelda handheld cash in

Zelda games get backed in at a minimum score of 87...

Probably, but this isn’t a mainline one

 

[Sooner]

That's hard to believe with the number of 0's you'd expect by those not owning a PS5.

 

[Mibu no ookami]

Even the non mainline ones
