Astro Bot won’t have set the world on fireplace, however the hype for Staff Asobi’s follow-up to the gorgeous Astro’s Playroom was positively actual. It’s been within the top-five in gross sales charts within the US, within the EU and within the UK.
And based on GamesIndustry.Biz’s Chris Dring, it’s finished higher than just about each different 3D platformer for the final decade. At the least ones that don’t function a plumber in blue overalls.
Responding to feedback from these debating Astro Bot’s success on Twitter, Dring mentioned “It did greater than that throughout Europe alone. However it may well solely play out there it’s in. Astro Bot has finished higher than mainly each new 3D platform sport within the final 10 years (Mario apart).”
“Its true success gained’t be identified for years, however it’s had a powerful begin for the style,” he provides. Hopefully Astro Bot’s sturdy begin continues, because it’s simply probably the greatest video games within the style and positively deserves its success.
