Team Asobi‘s newly-released Astro Bot game on PS5 currently sits as the highest-rated standalone game of 2024, according to Metacritic.
Astro Bot is currently sitting at 94 on the site, which is an impressive enough score on its own, but more so because it’s the year’s highest-rated standalone title — at least until something else managed to surpass it. Standalone game is the key phrase here, as Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree has a Metacritic of 95, but it’s worth remembering this is DLC, not a standalone title.
