    You are definitely right about one thing, folks who say "oh it didn't deserve game of the year" or even talk trash about the game has never played the game. I was 2 hours in and seriously thought, "This Game has to win some awards, it's fantastic!" I couldn't stop playing it!

    My goodness, the music in this game is amazing! The enemies and to the boss battles looks so fun, and again with the music alongside with it makes it seem like such an experience, I wasn't an Astro Bot believer and didn't think too much of it (because I never played it), but watching John play this, it's just, wow it's really well done on so many levels.

    Not only is Astro Bot my GOTY of 2024 but it quickly became one of my favorite games of all time. For me, it is rare to play a game that doesn't have a single part that drags it down. Every single level in this game ranges from okay to FANTASTIC! Every part of the game is just pure fun.

    I played this game the day it came out. Between it and Balatro, they are my undoubted game of the years. Everything Astro Bot set out to do it did with such pinpoint accuracy and the delivery of the game is just sheer perfection. So polished, so beautiful, such an amazing OST and overwhelmingly fun!

  • @RetconCrisis
    @RetconCrisis 14 дней назад +42

    I think with Astro Bot and being game of the year, although it isn't as expansive as some of the other games that came out this year, everything that Astro Bot set out to do was so polished and done so excellently that most people playing it don't have much left to criticize, which I think is also why it scored so well critically and among players compared to the other GOTY contenders

    • @roramoya
      @roramoya 12 дней назад

      Seriously? Well I hope they loved seeing them win GOTY despite that. All the press statements mention nonsense that has nothing to do with the actual question (why no Final Fantasy characters make an appearance) so I'm inclined to believe that too

    • @captainsavvy07
      @captainsavvy07 10 дней назад +4

      I think it's far more likely that SE wanted money to let FF characters be in Astro Bot. From the speech at the game awards it seems all the cameos that appear were offered freely by their developers. I think greed is far more plausible than pettiness.

    Also, I think the 2018 GOTY win had a lot to do with the overall franchise as well, like how they managed to move things along from GoW 3 and how Kratos seemed to be working his way through a true redemption. I'm a fan of the franchise so I'm clearly biased toward it lol, but hey, to each their own 😉

    First two bots you got were from Shadow of the Colossus. Someone else probably said it already but figured you'd want to know just in case no one commented about it yet.

    Your mention of porky pig unlocked my memory of the Super Nintendo game 🔓😧

      also certain aspects of Astro Bot remind me of WarioWorld for GameCube, and I loved that game

    The soundtrack in this game is surprisingly catchy.
    EDIT: 50:42 I'm going to have to Google all the references in this game because what is that?
    EDIT 2: I didn't really expect them to have Resident Evil and Katamari in here. I probably should have. Maybe I will have played some of the games that will be in this after all.

    It was Kena Bridge to Spirits. Really pretty game, main character reminds me of Korra. Haven't beat it yet
