    I'll keep it short...

    Story sucks like usual and is like 4-5 hours long
    New characters are not used very much in the story
    Bugs and glitches (Patch coming)

    The creator is still great and way better than the creator in LBP2.

    Do not buy the game if your sole purpose is to play the story mode.

    The creator is awesome but the story is lacking and we do not get to use the new characters very often in the story.. They make sure that Sackboy stay number 1

    Game is on par with LBP2 but with a better creator.. 9.5/10

    LBP 3 must the most disappointing game in the series (unless you count LBP Karting, which is even worse). It's not bad, it's just underwhelming. The fact it launched with tons of bugs and glitches didn't help with reviews, but these have since been fixed.

It's not bad, it's just underwhelming. The fact it launched with tons of bugs and glitches didn't help with reviews, but these have since been fixed.

    The Adventure mode is the shortest and by far the most boring out of the 3 LBP games I have played (the others being LBP 2 and LBP Vita). Other than that, everything else is exactly the same as previous games, because the series hasn't progressed much since LBP 2. There is the usual 4 player co-op (both online and offline), there are some gadgets, there is the usual nonsensical story and some cute art style, but nothing new. The new characters could have refreshed the stagnating series' core gameplay, but sadly they are little more than a cameo.

    Aside from that, there are more and better tools than ever to build whatever you want in Creation mode and better tutorials to understand how it works. You can make anything ranging from a simple platforming level and an basic arcade game, to whole cut-scenes/movies and even entire games like RPGs. It's essentially a suite to create games for those who are patient and skilled enough. The LBP community have created some amazing things you have to check out. You can also import levels built on previous games, so you have instant access to pretty much all of the user-generated content since the first LBP game.

    LBP 3 is still a good platform game to play either solo or with friends, but fans of the series won't find much to excite them. It's a pity LBP has hit a wall, there may not be another new LBP game, and original developers Media Molecule are now working on Dreams. Let's hope for the better.    … Expand

    A pesar de que ya ha perdido el factor sorpresa que nos maravilló con su primera entrega, sigue siendo una saga con una jugabilidad tremenda y con unos decorados maravillosos que te hacen pasar horas de diversión como pocos plataformas consiguen en la nueva generación de consolas

    A lot of level gliches(something will not work and you need to restart).
    Not responsive control(often jump or rocket jump is not working).
    Really bad camera when playing 2nd half of game levels in local co-op, you kill each other by too big distance(single jump or tube make such distance).
    Terrible respawn mechanism (your mate is dead, you go forward to continue but in corner you see respawn point, then your mate respawn, camera focus on him and you die) There should be button that you hold to trigger respawn.
    At end game try to be longer by just not giving you respawn points that results with glichy levels a lot of tries.
    Game is short! really too short - 65 euro for so short game?
    While game is short I had to buy extra strory that cost me 7 euro and it took us 3h to complete... lol.
    Game can crash during loading(in 3 days few crashes, only crashes I had since I bought ps4).
    Face/mood mechnism and R2/L2 hand control is also not used at all. Do you remember Oddworld fart-hello-sing minigames? With those faces/hands this should be somehow used in this game like in oddworld.. but well faces/hands are useless.
    This game looks half completed and overpriced. I guess someone pushed devs to complete while first half is nice designed(first robot fight was for me WOW, cool game) and 2nd is really poor quality. Local co-op was also pretty skipped in testing.
    Hope some big patch will be released to fix at least control and respawn problems. Too bad game is so short and every another short story try to get your money.

Maybe it was because nothing seemed new/groundbreaking, or the addition of voice acting (which I definitely don't like), but something was definitely not right.

    My biggest complaint is the difficulty. With the addition of the new characters there's tons more ways to fail and die while trying to finish the adventure. I basically have given up on the Great Escape level because I wanted to snap my controller in half. This LBP reminds me a lot of the LEGO Games (collecting, multiple characters with unique abilities) and so I wish they would get rid of the "you die you have to restart the level."    … Expand

    The game itself is good, but lacks too much differentiation from its previous iterations. Fortunately, I've only run into a few bugs. LBP3 has joy to be found, but doesn't differentiate itself enough to stand out. Media Molecule didn't work on this, and it shows.

    There are a few bugs plaguing the game but there is nothing really game breaking. Many times, we ran into an error when we tried to pull up another profile saved on the PS4 when another player joined the game. This required me to delete the profile several times. It was incredibly frustrating to lose all the collected outfits and stickers associated with the profile.

    The story mode is creative and fun but it is pretty short. There is definitely enough to keep it interested and the environment and levels look beautiful. As good as the levels look, not all of them are completely fun or amazing. There are a few areas in the game that require teamwork to access and those are pretty rewarding moments. However, there are other parts of the game that actually seem harder with more people since you share lives.

    The new characters are fun to play with but others may not like them all. And since you spend most of the story mode unlocking them, it seems like the story ends much too soon. Creating levels and created levels is what gives this game the most life. I myself am not the creative type but I do find some of the levels other people created to be incredible fun.    … Expand

As always the emphasis is on creation, player imagination, and good wholesome fun. The series bright, colorful looks are just as inviting as ever. The game's strength still lies in it's player created levels. The strong building tools you are given can allow you to make just about whatever you want. The option to share your creations and experience the work of others is just as great as ever.

    However, unlike the previous LBP, the creation is really all the game has going for it. While that's more than enough to ensure that the game has a long lifespan, it's missing all the other stuff that made LBP 2 so incredibly enjoyable. There's a cool new mode that introduces you to the game's building mechanics through puzzle like levels, but ultimately it doesn't last very long. The biggest disappointment comes from the Adventure mode.

    With things like new playable characters, a larger emphasis on storytelling, cool items, and new approaches to level design, one would think this would be the best adventure yet. Unfortunately the storytelling falls flat. I stopped paying attention almost immediately and the humor is strangely missing. The actual gameplay is fine, but it isn't long before things start to get on your nerves, especially with the late game difficultly spikes. It's only a few hours, but still managed to overstay it's welcome. By the time the credits rolled I was more than happy to be done with it's quest.

    The return of the creation tools is the reason you should give LBP 3 a chance. There are plenty of new options and the game still serves as a great way to show of your creativity and imagination. If you can stomach the adventure mode, there's a lot of things to do thanks to the introduction of side-quests and the plethora of collectibles hidden throughout. It's got some nice, expanded co-op options that could prove very enticing for you and a friend. Yet, even with all of that there is still something incredibly disappointing with LBP 3. It's just not as charming as it's predecessor. Something that's probably due to the change in developers. It's not like Sumo Digital made a bad game. It's just that you can tell it's missing the Media Molecule touch.

    Nonetheless LBP3 is still at the very least a decent game. One packed with content and some stunning tools that allow for seemingly endless possibility. It still allows you to flex your creative muscles and share your ideas with the world, all the while seeing what others are up to as well. If that sort of thing is up your alley, then this is the game for you. However, if you're just looking for a fun platformer game then this may not be for you. It's single-player offerings aren't among the more satisfying options out there.    … Expand

    Juego muy bonito estéticamente y que resulta bastante divertido, su dificultad es normal tirando a fácil, y su duración es de unas 6 o 7 horas haciéndolo bastante corto,

    LBP 3 was a letdown for me. I loved LBP and LBP 2 and even the VITA one, so this game was a missed opportunity.

    It added some cool new mechanics but the story wasn't as good as I expected and the multiplayer mode had a lot of lag and the game also had many bugs. Still a fun game but not the same classic it used to be. I hope one day LBP 4 is released and it fixes the mistakes made in    LBP 3 was a letdown for me.

    Well, i loved the original littlebigplanet on ps3 but this one felt uninterested and repetitive in its soul. Still a very good platforming game for ps4 but you will have a better ride with thr first two games.

    WAY too buggy. If this game wasn't rushed out the door, this might be the best LBP. It's kinda sad.

    This game had the potential to be so much more. 2 was amazing and is one of my all-time favorite games. I was so excited for this game when it came out, and have it on ps3 and ps4. and let me tell you, this game was so bad and glitchy, that to this very day, on both ps3 and ps4 editions of the game for me are very glitchy and near unplayable at times.

My account was corrupted TWICE and had to delete all my levels. LBP2 was glitchy at times, but nowhere close to the pile of absolute TRASH this game is. This is just another case of a very powerful and potentially industry-shaping game getting neglected and forgotten by its devs.… Expand

    The plaforming is fun but with the current servers down is really annoying to me how I recommend playing this when the servers are back up

    It feels much less innovative and creative. However, it's still an enjoyable experience.

    It's a serious damn shame what happened to this franchise. LBP 3 introduces new sacks to play with, but they don't offer the versatile gameplay that was promised.

    Its really a shame how the series dropped, I felt the story was really odd for this one and it had a really weird mission system with not nearly enough unlockables and tried to focus on that with paid ones. Its still more lbp so you can't be disappointing but it just didn't have the charm of the first one

    While the internal creator is surprisingly well-designed and fun, the same can unfortunately not be said for the main campaign. The visuals are often great with many creative locations (especially within the DLC campaign The Journey Home), yet every aspect of the gameplay suffers.

The visuals are often great with many creative locations (especially within the DLC campaign The Journey Home), yet every aspect of the gameplay suffers. Collectibles feel cheap and don't create any motivation to explore entire levels while the new mechanics and tools sprinkled throughout do little to make the experience any more enjoyable. The 2.5D platforming is often janky and annoying, and while the new characters are fun additions to gameplay, they are comedically underused. A lacking title as a first-party PlayStation exclusive.… Expand

    Super fun on your own, but needs more freedom in co-op. [Issue#257, p.72]

    As usual I had fun with LBP – it’s hard not to love sackboys and sackgirls – but I expected something fresher and more polished from the series’ debut on PS4. [01/2015, p.44]

    LittleBigPlanet 3 wasn't an easy legacy to take on, but Sumo Digital made a good job and released the best entry in the franchise to date... but also the most controversial with lots of bugs and missed opportunities.
