As a dedicated gamer, I’ve been thoroughly impressed by the incredible response Astro Bot has been receiving lately. It’s got its eyes set on the Game of the Year title at The Game Awards in December, and rightfully so! The main contender seems to be Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, another PS5 exclusive that’s also garnering widespread acclaim. However, the reviews for Astro Bot have been exceptionally positive compared to those of FF7 Rebirth. It would be quite a surprise if Rebirth manages to snatch the prestigious award from under its feet.

There’s definitely a chance that forthcoming games might outshine Astro Bot, given the upcoming releases like The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, which has a strong potential to make it into the top 100 highest-rated games ever, considering the success of the Zelda franchise. Mario & Luigi: Brothership also shows promise for breaking into the top 100. Additionally, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, STALKER 2, and several other high-profile games set to launch this year could potentially join them.

It’s yet to be determined if Astro Bot will continue to hold the top spot as the best new game release of 2024, but other games have a challenging task ahead. As players eagerly await the arrival of these upcoming titles in stores, they can grab a copy of Astro Bot for their PS5 and find out if it truly deserves all the buzz.
