Im not sure why he gave it a 7.8. Because he rates loads of PS games and other games 10’s.
Must not like Platformers or this type

I don’t know why every time PS releases a hit game, they always ask “Where’s Xbox’s __ game”? Nintendo has been releasing great platformers for decades and they never asked this. https://www.windowscentral.com/gami...-will-xbox-ever-have-a-family-friendly-answer
Finished the first boss lastnight, hadn't too much time to enjoy.
Nabbed the second last Astro controller in my region this morning.
Can't wait to play more...

With 95 OC score, as of now Astro Bot is the highest rated SIE / PS exclusive ever in Opencritic.
With 94 MC score, in Metacritic it's only under:

Only 4 people here believed the game would get a 95 score and I was one of them

This is why MS always fails with Xbox and their fans end up disappointed from fantasy hopes and dreams.
Having all those IP characters doesn’t mean you can replicate the success of Astrobot. Those characters already exist for years. MS didn’t creat them. They just own them now.
You can’t throw them all together, or creat a single game, and expect to make some huge 95 metacritic global million selling IP. That’s not how it works.
Sony created Astrobot. It’s a brand new character. Same way Nintendo created Mario. Astrobot also celebrates all the first and 3rd party games that appeared on PlayStation since 1994. MS cannot do that with Xbox.
Instead trying to imitate other successful brands and games. MS needs to go make their own new IP with its own ideas and worlds. Spending $80B on publishers doesn’t do that.
Man this is really up there for me with FF7 and Ocarina of Time, You just feel so happy playing this. There is so many little animations and sounds that even make a grumpy guy like me go awwww
Also the wild west theme

I get your point but the part about not imitating ,specially when talking about Sony , it's hilarious to say the least.
This is how they have always operated, its in there dna. They cant
You are a PC mustard race. Of course you believe that.
What has Sony blatantly copied that was so obvious?
Being inspired and then going to do your own thing is completely different than just straight up imitating something. Which is what the person in that article wants MS to do. She’s even PC port begging at the end of the article.
Microsoft has been a platform holder for almost 30 years... They don't have a single organic hit IP... Not one...
The standards are so different for Sony, where people want Sony to come out with a new IP every year and multiple new sequels to hit franchises.
Since Phil Spencer took over in 2014, Sony has come out with the following:
Astro Bot
Marvel's Spider-Man* (took this IP to a new level)
Ghost of Tsushima
God of War 2018
Horizon
GT7
TLOUP2
2nd Party/3rd Party
Bloodborne
Helldivers
Death Stranding
Lower Tier
Until Dawn
Day's Gone
Returnal
Ratchet Rift Apart
Still probably at or above Xbox level
The Order 1886
The Last Guardian
Dreams
Microsoft isn't all of a sudden going to start making IP
The new CEO probably asked them to delete it because he's in bed with Phil and he thinks Xbox should be the home of Final Fantasy.
