Are we (y'all) ready to have a real conversation about Astrobot and it being GOTY last year for the media out the gate and how it was a platforming masterpiece, when Nintendo's "B" list , throw away character platformer is superior in every way? "allegedly"

I’ve only played a limited amount of the game.

But from what i can see, the sony stan paint carried this game.

The move list is just too simple from the jump(pun intended)

The actual moment to moment platforming is very simple. Physics are really straight forward and there’s no real advanced moves outside of jumping and running.

I think nintendo platforming games are overrated based off nostalgia, and i feel this game isn’t even as good as those.

For me, plenty of really good indies have done platforming better and more challenging. They just don’t have the hype behind them

I will say, I saw Mighty Keef do a preview of Donkey Kong and I’m ngl I went in ready to hate.

I came away kinda impressed they put their whole foot in the game it seems.
