This is what Astro Bot needed. Now we can be sure, there will be new games further on in the future.
It became the real mascot of Playstation 💙

[Dgrealy]

Astrobot remembered that games are meant to be fun

[TheDarkOne]

From being a tech demo to win game of the year....congratulations astro bot

[OtterloopB]

You mean a game that's joyful and clean with no agenda won? A game that's all about discovery and the pure joy of movement and gameplay won?

And people are mad about that?

If you're a fan of Wukong, I get it, but... a video game that remembers it's a _video game_ rather than a movie won! A game that anyone of any age can play, escape, and have fun.

When did we all suddenly hate color and fun?

Right now there's an executive sitting at Xbox HQ cursing over cancelling Crash 5, Spyro, Banjo Threeie etc.

Nicolas is truly a class act. I love how he honored the history of gaming with paying tribute to the people making platformers like Super Mario Brothers. I also love that so many shared their IP and characters for Astrobots. Really is great to see. ❤

[LiamRain]

I’m not crying. ….. you’re crying. 😀 😅 thanks for tying together 30 years of happiness, joy and bliss.

[Theonebeliever]

I dont get why people are mad wukong lost. Im waiting for my copy to arrive to see if it really is a revolutionary game that surpasses anything like it or if its just another ok souls like which is what i see so far.

[joshnizzle]

Love hearing all the Whkong simps crying over this. That game is a good game but not a greag. Lt of small issues add up to make to a loss in goty. In all reps for me

[johnathandoe]

The game awards reward passionate games who break industry norms and make truly original games instead of just awarding whatever game jerks its players off the most...

No wonder gamers hate them

[jeryost]

Tbh, who thought this game was actually goty material?

[BDawg-dk]

Rigged by Sony... giving themselves a pat on the back :(
