    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 perfect game through and through. The level design is amazing, the story is charming, and the score is fantastic. I know I mentioned this before in the intro, but even though this is a rerelease, I'd say this is my game of the year so far. Genuinely perfect in every way.

    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).

    All in all Sackboy: A New Adventure is nevertheless a solid pc port. With the right hardware it's even possible to make the game world look really beautiful. Because there is no different or additional content compared to the PS5 version, our rating remains identical to the original.

    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 just as good now as it was during the release of the PS5. Stunning presentation aside, the platforming mechanics remain absolutely solid, and the transition from 2D to 3D is rather painless. The campaign runs at the right length with the right level of difficulty, and unlike past series entries, the multiplayer feels good instead of chaotic. The creative aspects of the original series are missed, but the game remains a solid entry in any platforming fan's game library.

    This is another necessary port for PC Gamers, the large number of levels and hours of entertainment are the strong point here. Unfortunately we will need a powerful GPU to get the most out of it visually, which at the same time is unnecessary. The gaming experience with the DualSense on PC is out of this world.

    Despite its initial problems with the PC release, Sackboy: A Big Adventure delivers today a high-quality experience. The game has excellent gameplay, fluid controls, and the ray tracing takes its stitched visuals to the next level. And while its current price is a bit overkill, it doesn't take away from its great foundation.

    Sackboy: A Big Adventure has tonnes of heart, and just has joy bursting from every seam, whether you play alone, or in co-op. The scalable Unreal 4 engine impresses here, as we had the game looking, and running well on two spectacularly different devices. We only wished there was FSR support here, as it's an incredibly odd omission.

    Even if it remains rather childish and won't blow your mind as much as the other Playstation adaptations, Sackboy also takes advantage of all the potential of these machines in terms of graphics. The challenge is not very high, but the gameplay is fascinating, and the levels are efficiently designed. The fact that you can use DualSense for even more immersion, and the charm of the game's artistic direction and its enchanting soundtrack, makes it a must-have platformer for fans of the genre.

    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.

    Sackboy comes to PC, and it’s a big adventure indeed: our knitted hero will have to travel through five worlds in his quest to stop Vex from turning the entire Craftworld into a chaotic nightmare. Overall, the game is a good 3D platformer with an excellent soundtrack and a very creative visual style. Shame that the haptic feedback doesn’t really bring anything to the table, though.

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

    Total pleasure for a solid and clean arrival of Sackboy on PC.

    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.

    With charm to spare, Sackboy makes his way to the PC with a great port. A couple of odd choices at the system level are the only issues with an otherwise cracking platform adventure.

    Sackboy: A Great Adventure is a game that does what it has to, without claiming to revolutionize anything. Simple in structure and direct in mechanics, it is a title without big ambitions.

    Sackboy: A Big Adventure, while downright gorgeous and playful, doesn’t really offer anything when it comes to even remotely challenging gameplay.

    Sackboy: A Big Adventure isn’t at its best on PC, with consistent stuttering and not many graphical options, but it’s still a fun experience you can play with just about anyone.

    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.

    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. In conclusion pizdets sami igraite v etu huinyu..
