Astro Bot is now one of five first-party PS5 games that has a 90 or above average critic rating. Astro Bot was released last week to universal critical acclaim, with many hailing it as an easy front-runner for Game of the Year at The Game Awards in December. Critics have praised Astro Bot's clever gameplay mechanics, inventive twists on the 3D platforming genre, fun callbacks to classic PlayStation games, and how it makes great use of the PS5 DualSense controller's unique features.
