    Just about the only complaint I could think of for the game is that its online multiplayer isn’t well-populated given that it’s not exactly setting the charts alight – but a) it’s fun in single-player, and b) that’s the sort of thing that could be fixed if Sackboy had the popularity it deserves. Do your part to help with that by checking it out, and get a pretty wonderful 3D platformer in the bargain.

    Sackboy: A Big Adventure is a delight for players of all ages, regardless of the platform you play on. With amazing visuals and a stellar soundtrack, Sackboy delivers one of the most creative platformers in years. PC gamers can of course maximize their experience to their system’s best ability, but regardless of the power of your rig, Sackboy is worth a look.

    Sackboy: A Big Adventure is verified on Steam Deck by Valve, and it is absolutely worth your time if you’ve never played it before. If you have, I wouldn’t recommend it at full price. You’re better off waiting for a sale and a few patches (if you play on Windows).

    The same endearing adventure from 2020 worthy of mention, and even more so of playing, is now on PC.

    Featuring gorgeous graphics and wildly inventive stages, Sackboy: A Big Adventure is an underrated gem of a game that's made even better by a wonderful PC port.

    Even if we miss the creative side of LittleBigPlanet, Sackboy is still a very fun and solid platforming adventure for everyone, that offers a richer visual fest on PC (you will need a modern GPU to make it sing on PC). Maybe with more unique mechanics (as the musical levels) and a Friend Pass to share the game with a friend, would be even better.

    Two years ago, Sackboy: A Big Adventure proved Sumo Digital was more than capable of creating its own unique vision of Media Molecule's banner Little Big Planet series. Now in 2022, as I write this while listening to the game’s choral remix of Material Girl, I can’t help but be excited for what is next for weird potential of future Sackboy games. People should go back and play this game, just not on PC.

    Unfortunately, Sackboy: A Big Adventure ultimately feels like a worse platformer than Astro’s Playroom—a game that comes pre-installed on every PS5. While Astro’s Playroom doesn’t offer much in the way of challenging gameplay either, at least that game’s whole point is to show off the PS5’s capabilities. Sackboy: A Big Adventure sadly doesn’t really have that going for it. Rather, it’s an okay game at best. A decent enough platformer for someone who may not own a Nintendo system to play Mario games on, but even on PC, maybe something like A Hat in Time would be a better way to spend your time and money.    … Expand

    At first I thought that it was a kids game. And for the first half it was all games and fun and I genuinely enjoyed it: characters were cuteAt first I thought that it was a kids game. And for the first half it was all games and fun and I genuinely enjoyed it: characters were cute and levels were easy. But then suddenly I couldnt even complete one level without turning the endless hearts mode. However I was okay with it so I continued playing the game and having fun during cooperation levels. I also defeated all the final bosses not having a heart attack. BUT my suffering wasnt over at that point cause this mf Strudleguff asked me to complete another world. I expected it to be at least a little easier than the others cause cmon I killed Vex what can possibly go wrong??? It never came to my mind that it will be absolutely unplayable for a human... Moreover I tried to turn on my gamepad but apparently it couldnt work anymore and I think that striving with this game was the reason why it died.
