Definitely wouldn’t say it was better than Odyssey. Odyssey took more of my time, puzzle solving, and platforming know how to eventually beat. It was an extremely rewarding experience. Astro Bot was fabulous but I finished it quickly and the challenge wasn’t quite as robust as Odyssey. But who cares what was better? Both games have a special place in my heart. Sony needs more of this.
I’m obsessed with my PS5 but Nintendo is where most of my gaming time goes. I love Mario and this game made me feel that same exciting experience that mainline Mario games offer. I absolutely loved this game. I played it from beginning to end and more. It was such a knockout and I wouldn't complain seeing PlayStation develop more platforming titles like this with this level of quality.
@BasedBear Agreed 100%. I play Nintendo more than I do anything else and own all three major consoles. I remember that Xbox 360 forced Sony to make more consumer-driven decisions just like PS4 forced Microsoft to abandon their always online DRM aspirations in 2012. Any company going unchallenged sucks for consumers.
Games like Concord feel like a theme that has been overused. They feel tired. It wasn’t because of mechanics, marketing, whatever the Hell “woke” means, or anything like that. It just felt done already.
