While many expected Astro Bot to receive good reception from many people, few expected it to receive the global acclaim it has garnered. Indeed, it appears to be among the top-ranked games in terms of ratings this year so far according to Metacritic.
This was mentioned by the Metacritic website, confirming that Astro Bot is the second highest-rated game this year on Metacritic with an average rating of 94, behind the Elden Ring expansion in first place.
In terms of sales, the game sold over 12,000 physical copies in Japan upon release, completely sold out on Amazon Japan, and in the UK, launch sales surpassed games like Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart, Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time, and Sonic Frontiers.
