This is a grand re-opening for Astro Bot, and it surely marks the start of what is destined to be a beloved series shooting for the moon.
Hogwarts Legacy has remained in first place on the UK retail charts, according to GfK data for the week ending April 19, 2025.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, following the release of the PS5 version, came in second place.
Astro Bot dropped one spot to third place, while Monster Hunter Wilds remained in fourth place. Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate is up one spot to fifth place and EA Sports FC 25 is up six spots to sixth place.
Playstation owners buy games.
Strange seeing Hogwarts there as I downloaded it for my son from PS Plus a couple of days ago.
2nd on the charts for a game such as Indy ain’t great.
Releasing half year after xbox version probably cooled off some demand.
This is a very good game, deserves the best chance to do well.
The real great performer here is Astrobot. keeping that rate of sales for a last year's game that is not GTAV, CoD and FIFA (now Hogwarts too). outselling MH Wilds and EA FC is kinda wild for Astrobot!
Some of the best PS5 games are exclusives like God of War Ragnarok and Astro Bot, but there are some indie highlights as well.
Astro Bot fans have all heard the story of the creation of the sponge power-up, but did you know developer Team Asobi also prototyped even wackier powers, like a coffee grinder and a roulette wheel?
There are currently 323 bots in the game, so there need to be 1 or 2 more to balance things out. Ending things at that odd number doesn't sit well with me.
The Bad (acording to this guy) - "Its hardest levels are frustratingly perfection-or-bust, gating some cameo characters"
So this counts against the score?, Why? Cuz you couldn't do it properly? and yet games like Elden Ring and other sorts get a pass? It astonished me that this is even mentioned in the "Bad" section. Sony games really do get reviewed just a little bit more harsher than Nintendo games of the same type.
If this were a Mario game and you rescued all little past Nintendo characters then this game would get a 10 and you all know it.
Anyway this game should win GOTY or at least be in the running. I'll be playing it in less than an hour.
