Even Critical Acclaim Is Not Enough to Save Sony’s Astro **** From Trollers as Comparisons to Nintendo’s Super Mario Odyssey Run Amok

Just after the release, Astro **** has already started winning everyone’s hearts. This PlayStation 5 exclusive 3D platformer has been released on September 6, 2024. This game is the direct sequel to Astro’s Playroom and overall the third game of the series.

Astro’s Playroom was just a tech survey for the DualSense controller, and the game was included in every PlayStation 5 back then. However, its sequel is a full-fledged title with 80 levels in Astro’s universe. That is how the game is getting so much love around the world. But the problem is that Nintendo fans might not be very happy about it.

Astro **** vs Super Mario Odyssey – A Meaningless Comparison

After the huge success of Astro ****, there have been some huge debates. Being a 3D platformer, weird comparisons have begun between the new PlayStation 5 exclusive title and a hugely popular game of a legendary franchise, Super Mario Odyssey. The platformer from Team Asobi has notched up a huge score of 94 on Metacritic, which in turn fueled the agony among Nintendo fans to bring up the Metascore to 97.

Astro **** is based on its own universe with PlayStation characters and environment. Whereas, Super Mario Odyssey is based on the typical Mario universe. So, it can’t be said that the former is a “copy” of the latter.

Genuinely, Odyssey is a great game on its own, and it needs no biased comparison to showcase its glory. And for PlayStation, the recently launched title is getting huge love from other platform users as well, not only from Team PlayStation. With this huge success, the game might eventually become the Game of the Year in 2024 too.

The huge success of Astro **** circles around one major aspect: the inclusion of over 150 characters from popular and legendary PlayStation characters like Ape Escape, Ratchet & Clank, **** of War, and many more.

The predecessor of the game, Astro’s Playroom, was just a free tech demo that everyone enjoyed. Now having a full game in Astro’s universe that too, with all the nostalgic characters along with the classic PlayStation vibe, has definitely brought tears to the long-standing users of this console.

The game is set in the background of an incident where Astro’s DualSense Spaceship will be torn apart (in the form of PlayStation gaming equipment) as every piece will be scattered across the universe. Now, this cute, tiny character will embark on a journey to find all the pieces.

It’s true both of them are 3D platformers, and healthy comparisons can be done. But the way things are getting out of hand, it should be stopped immediately, and enjoying both games is the best choice.
