I’ve been writing about video games, television and movies for Forbes for over 10 years, and you may have seen my reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic. I cover all manner of console and PC games, but if it’s about looting or shooting, I’m definitely there. If I’m watching something, it’s usually science fiction, horror or superheroic.
While everyone was hoping that Sony ’s Astro Bot would be good, I’m not sure anyone was predicting what’s happened here. And we’re now seeing an enormous win for PlayStation in a week where it badly needs one.
That 94 score does indeed put it as the best-reviewed game of the year, if you’re not counting Elden Ring’s Shadow of the Erdtree expansion as a full game, which most won’t, and that has a 95. Here’s the list of “game” games:Billionaire Daughters Pegula, Navarro Advance To U.S. Open Semifinals At the time of this writing, Astro Bot has 29 10/10 scores out of 78 reviews. Here’s one that sums a lot of it up,“Astro Bot isn't simply an enjoyable platformer with some nostalgia tying it together; it's a generationally impressive entry in the genre that understands PlayStation at an atomic level. The sheer level of joy the game produces makes it impossible to compare it to anything other than Mario's very best adventure.
