Played like 1/3 of the way through Astro Bot. It's basically Sony's version of Super Mario Galaxy. I personally think the 94/100 it has on metacritic is too high, but that might just be because the Super Mario Galaxy course design isn't as much my thing as the open level design in Mario 64/Sunshine and Odyssey.
Movement isn't as free-form as the movement you'd get in the collectathon Mario games. Which is my favourite part of those games.
If you're really into the Galaxy/3D World kinda level design I could easily see this being your game of the year.
I'd give it a solid 8 with what I played so far. Depending on how the latter worlds ramp up it'll probably end up higher.
(I feel like the high scores also have to do with how shit this year has been so far. Someone needs to make a stink about all the astrobots being white. Game is not diverse enough. 6/10)
