The battle to be the highest-rated game of the year continues as Astro Bot finally claims the top spot from Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree
Put your foolish ambitions to rest

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Astro Bot has overtaken both 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree DLC and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Metaphor: ReFantazio 🦩to become the highest rated game on Mꦍetacritic this year.
Iꦿt's been a competitive year for great games, and Astro Bot seemꦡs to have just edged in front of the competition on . All three games actually tie in terms of their overall score of 94, but Astro Bot has 139 reviews compared to Shadow of the Erdtree's 70 and Metaphor: ReFantazio's 53.
's review which came out just three days ago, November 26. It reads: "From beginning to end, Astro Bot is a charming, stunning platformer that looks gorgeous and plays flawlessly," and cites the "brilliantly designed levels, incredibly responsive platforming, and an absurdly charming cast of characters" as reasons for why the game is so good.Team Asobi's adorable PS5 platforming adventure is a celebration of all things 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:PlayStation, with cameos from many Sony mascots like Kratos, Aloy, and even a hunter from Bloodborne. Matt writes in our own 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Astro Bot review that the game "Soars above and beyond to serve up a near-p🌊erfect platformer."
Meanwhile, Catherine's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Metaphor: ReFantazio review calls it "an evolution of Atlus' best RPGs" while Joel's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Shadow of the Erdtree review jokes "it's almost getting boring praising 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:FromSoftware every time." 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:FromSoftware really is the golden goose in gaming these days, and Sony has already made its interest to buy its parent company Kadokawa known, although some Japanese analysts think it 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:might be too expensive.
Out of these three games the only one I've played this year is Shadow of the Erdtree, and I feel strange calling it a full game and seeing it 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:nominated for Game of the Year. I love it, but watching DLC, even one as huge as Shadow of the Erdtree, against new games feels odd. But by that logic, wh𝕴y not discount sequels, too?
