Anyone else agree that Astro Bot is the best non-Nintendo and non-Mario 3D platformer of all-time?
I just have a few puzzle pieces left to get and I'm saving that for later to hit a platinum milestone with Astro Bot.
Astro Bot is my favorite 2024 game that isn't a remake.

It certainly makes a great case! Only modern non-Nintendo/Mario 3D platformer that comes to mind would be It Takes Two which was certainly a special game. Only difference that brings it down a peg would be the requirement of a second player. But I think that's also what amplified the game to be GOTY worthy. I definitely agreed to It Takes Two winning GOTY.

I'm waiting to finish Astro Bot before making that declaration personally though. 

It Takes Two is brilliant. Loved it from start to finish.

We did swap controllers a couple times to get passed a couple things but at least it never got too difficult to become frustrating. I played the earlier game, a Way Out, on my own, handling two controllers. Also very fun, yet you can see how much progress Hazelight made with It Takes Two.

More games like that please!

I would say Astrobot is brought down a peg by not having the option to join in with a second player. Mario is still ahead there. Taking turns / watching is boring!
