    In the first 5 minutes I was having lots of fun with Little Big Planet 3. The game has exceeded my expectations so far and I thoroughly recommend playing with friends who might be on the fence using the SHAREplay function because its a blast with more than 3 people playing at once.

    Gentlemen, this is not Assassin's Creed franchise. It's totally innovative new mechanics. The gameplay was so funny. I have enjoyed playing it. My favorite mode is the puzzles.

    I finished the “main story” game, and I played a fair number of community levels and still feel there is a lot to discover in this game.

    I do think this LBP is a lot like the other LBPs, which isn’t bad in itself, although you won’t find a lot of new, super-exciting stuff in my opinion. Having said that, this game still excels at what is supposed to be good at, as a level editor.

    Gameplay is very similar to the other ones; this is a platform game with a lot of puzzle-like kind of things. The “main campaign”, it is good fun and it serves its purpose as a kind of tutorial of the kind of things you can do in LBP, plus you need to do it to unlock a lot of stuff to then build your own levels. There are quite a few multiplayer cooperative levels, which are absolutely fantastic fun, downside is that you’ll need people to play them as, literally you cannot do it on your own. Also worth mentioning is that, if you’re after unlocking all the bits and pieces, you’ll also need to find other players, as some of the secret areas can only be accessed if you got help from another sack boy. If you have some regular friends to play, then the better, but the game itself has a “party finder” tool that works reasonably well.

    As in the other LBPs, the “main campaign” only scratches the surface of the game. There are some absolutely fantastic and fun levels out there that have been made by other players. You can find very different focuses, from platform classic levels, to puzzle focused levels to super-fast, frenetic levels. There is a level for everybody here. Even if you don’t like creating your own levels, I think just playing other people’s levels is fantastic. Other people’s levels are rated by the community, so it is easy enough to avoid playing those that are bad because you’ll basically see bad reviews/low scores. I don’t think the community is very toxic in this game as I found the reviews usually correlate with reality. In practice, this game is in essence infinite, you’ll play it until you get bored, because there are just thousands of levels, so in terms of duration, I believe you can stay with this game for a lot of hours.

    Graphics are decent for this kind of game, no complaints in there. Music, as usual (in my opinion) in LBPs is fantastic. Some really nice songs in there.

    Bad things, multiplayer felt a bit laggy at times, not a lot of times but more than average. Also, I think this game has unfortunately been cut into pieces (DLC pieces) a bit too much. There a lot of extra things you can buy with real money, that hinders a bit the creativity when it comes to level creation; don’t get me wrong, the default stuff is numerous and very nice, but there are a lot of things locked in dlcs. If you liked the other LBPs, this is a safe choice I think, if you like platform games, there is a good chance you’ll like this one. I do believe, however, is a lot more enjoyable if you’re open to multiplayer, so if you’re looking to solo a platform game, you might wanna look elsewhere.    … Expand

    It is a fun game and when the patch comes out it'll be even better. The fact that people are giving it a bad score is absolutely ridiculous. The first minutes of the game was so much fun, and it just kept getting better and better as time went on.

    Very entertaining. Great for co-op and tons of fun. Almost makes me feel like a kid again.

    I'm sure it will be a 10/10 once the community gets to full speed making levels, the game has only been out for a few days so people haven't made many good levels yet.

    A great game overall, although some others disagree I feel this is a fresh new addition to the series. What I love the most about this is just like the other playing together can add a whole new layer to the experience, what I also love is the fact that all previous game content I have carries over, this adds a charm to the game like pretty much no other game, at least for the console.

    I might be biased but I really liked this game. It's building is better than LBPVita with all the new tools to use and I (kind of) liked the story despite it being short and focused around Sackboy instead of using the new characters. (You do use the new characters quite a bit though). The story mode's level design is great and the create mode is even easier to use.

    Another fun game in the series. Also probably the last. Story is pretty short (under 6 hours). Level creation is fun and you can do incredible things with it. Game released with many bugs but they are pretty much all fixed nowadays. I got the game "free" from Playstation Plus. Best thing about the game is multiplayer and level creation!

    Characters... LoL... it is really cool to use the new chars, I do think they could have been more used but maybe they will get more use going forward with the game( I am still on the beggining of the game )

    LBP3 has all the creation sets of the first two games plus anything else you could possibly ask for. Co-Op is limited but ultimately crazy and fun. Bugs are kinda making the game rough at this point-but i see that as no reason to lower my score unless most of them are not fixed within a few days.

    In my opinion, i dont like these 'Deals' MM Do. They´re probably my favorite team, because they can keep everything under control with their games, and bugs are not the biggest problem in their games normally at launch, but this one, seemed to be a little more buggy than usual at launch.
    This game feels a lot more charming than the others, then it comes to story, cause it has more characters, funny challenges, and many small bonus-levels, and many of the "Come Back!" Moments (when you haven´t unlocked the tool to achieve the bubbles you want). As people (for some reason is arguing about), is that the story isn´t what you should buy the game for. Of course it´s not, and it´s never been. But to be honest, i´d like the history, and the feel of the game.
    LittleBigPlanet 2 May´ve got the biggest update/upgrade of LittleBigPlanet, but i think, that this one has given a lot more, of what people wanted. Such as 16 Layers, (Ass)-O-Meter doesn´t really bother you anymore, if you know how to avoid getting a full Thermometer in LBP3.
    SUM UP/Final Verdict:
    The game needs to clean the windscreen for bugs, that they´re working on, and then just listen to the community, and make LittleBigPlanet 3 More immersive than it already is.
    I´ll definitely recommend buying this game, because it´s not disappointing in any way, and may be the biggest LittleBigPlanet Game ever made. Just remember beginners, that LittleBigPlanet, will make you smile.    … Expand

    They're some cons to Little Big Planet 3 however, the game comes with some bugs including some game breaking ones. When I first purchased the after an hour my profile corrupted. This only happened once so hopefully it does happen again. The game crashes at some points so if your making a level, make sure to save it every five minutes. Though many say they're a lot of bugs, I rarely ran into them but my main problem is the crashing. Another flaw is you very rarely get to play as the three other heroes in the story. Heck, after unlocking them, you get to play one level as them, then a boss battle, then on to the next area where you revert back to Sackboy then do the same thing. The only time were you use all four characters at once are in the final boss battle. This is upsetting to me especially because back at E3 2014 they hyped of using all four characters in with multiple friends which is never in the story mode.

Those who are racing through the campaign just to the to the end are missing out (or just not the creative type), which is why your goal will be a short one in comparison. It's understandable though, as some people just prefer playing rather than building. LBP2 was the only game I played the most on PS3, and LBP3 is the main reason I purchased my PS4 which has now has been completely justified! You guys/gals at Sumo Digital are frigging magicians!

    LBP3 is a continuation of LBP 1 and 2. As such, all the same mechanics are present with some fantastic new tweaks, including better wall / object grabbing precision, better jumping, and 16 layers to switch between instead of the standard 4.

The layer switching, particularly, is a point in it's favor.

    When LBP1 came out, I found that it's greatest shortcoming was the difficulty a player would have switching between layers. It was often clunky and resulted in characters getting stuck behind the scenery. With LBP3, they've made transitioning much smoother and easier to do, so this is much less of an issue and sackboy/girl actually behaves the way you want them to.

    I haven't delved too deep into the creation tools but from what I have seen, they have greatly streamlined the experience. Level creation is easier than it was previously, What's more, you cna upload levels made in LBP1 or 2 and play / share them in 3, so there's virtually no end to the content you'll get out of this title.

    Soundtrack is, as usual, great. Better than in LBP2 for sure, with a return to more indie rock and alternative music that blends very well with the overall experience while still standing out in a good way.

    If you liked LBP1 or 2, you should get 3. This is Little Big Planet on steroids, with more level options, a better structured story mode, fantastic creation tools, and all the charm you've come to expect from the series.    … Expand

    It has improved almost everything little big planet 2 did. The new characters are great, although they could have been used much more during the story mode. The new tools are easy to use and add almost unlimited options, that it already had. If you liked the previous lbp games, this one you will love.

    Bugs are getting ironed out so the initial backlash should subside, and hopefully the community will continue to grow as times goes on. This game will go only as far as people will push it, because it's their levels that keeps this game's coop and multiplayer active.

    Story-mode is short as usual, but I'm into this series for the level design kits and to enjoy other people's creations. If you are a platforming nut like I am and yearn for this type of gameplay that has been put on the back shelf of developers, then pick up this game. The possibilities are endless.    … Expand

    Patches have done a good job of improving the game, but it still isn't perfect. Up to an 8/10 from my previous score of 3.

    How can it become a 10/10? Sumo needs to fix the crashes, the profile corruptions, and the laggy multiplayer servers. If those are at least improved some, the game will be incredible.

    The elements you enjoyed in the previous two games are still in this game, and in addition, you have new characters to play as!

    Level editor is fun, character customization is fun, stickers are fun.

    Overall, this game really shines on family game nights, and just a casual hangout with a buddy.

    The gameplay is typical LBP, with precise jumping required alongside a half-intelligent brain to work out where to go. The usual modes are back, and side missions such as creating a vehicle to jump further than 2,000 metres are fun. The story mode characters are all voice acted now (sack people aside, who are still mute – this adds to their "cute" charm though) and the levels and characters look fantastic.

    Ultimately a slightly longer story would make this a great game, as it stands it is still good though.    … Expand

    Technically it is disappointing for an exclusivity, you can clearly feel the weight of the PS3 version, the artistic direction is very cute (like always in LittleBigPlanet) but it could have been better detailed, with more effects (collision, dust, etc.). The server are not the strongest and you can be disconnected pretty often if you play a lot. Clearly not the technical level you could expect from an AAA game backed by Sony.

    Concerning the gameplay you will find the three pillars of the game : play, create and share. The play part is upgraded with three new characters, each with their own attributes, it's a good idea, sadly they didn't make a great use of them in the campaign. Which makes for the perfect transition with the "share" pillar, the community of the game is still great, some levels created by regular players are simply amazing and you can find some levels created specifically for those new characters, all the levels from the two previous games are also playable so there is really a lot of awesome content available for the community and brought by this same community. Finally the creating tool is very easy to manage and offers a lot of possibilities.

    The story is classic for a 2D platformer, the young ones will probably like it while the older players will be more fond of the characters and the funny dialogues. But the campaign is also pretty short (6 hours to finish it) even if you have to replay all the levels if you want the 100%, but like I said the content from the community is almost endless so you can end up playing the game for more than 50 hours easily.

    So in conclusion LittleBigPlanet 3 is a good platformer but it is mostly based on the ground work made by Media Molecule and to its community, Sumo Digital didn't upgrade it enough to make this third installment as great as the two previous one.    … Expand

    Near Endless possibilities
    Newton wants to become the most creative person in the imagishpere and its up to you to stop him, so you set out to awaken the legendary sack heroes…
    This is my 2nd favorite littlebigplanet campaign behind the original..
    And of course you can play with friends or alone
    The campaign clocks in at around 5 and half hours and not only offers a decent challenge... but a great variety in level design that’s fun to play through and sparks the imagination for those interested in designing levels for the community…
    Each world acts as a hub world with 2-3 main missions and a few side missions
    In the main missions you’re going through unique and charming levels to collect a marble..
    These levels all feel different and each world introduces a new gadget to use...
    which give even more possibility to level design…
    You do occasionally have to reuse these items in later levels of the game... but I really appreciate the fact that they didn’t shove them all down your throat to use at once...
    There’s no constant switching items which I find insanely annoying when games do that…
    You’ll primarily be using 1 gadget and 1 gadget only in each level..
    These levels also of course contain prize bubbles which adds variety to the creation tool giving creators incentive to play through the campaign other than to get ideas for all of the cool new hazards…
    Sadly I feel the customization items for your characters are a bit lacking.. Tons of costumes... but very few accessories and other items to make you feel truly unique...
    However if you have played through little big planet 1 or 2, you get to import your unlockable from them
    once you’ve gathered both marbles or all 3 you unlock one of the 3 legendary heroes…
    There’s Oddscock, Toggle, and Swoop… all of which are even more fun to use than sackboy…
    Oddscok is a dog like creature that can run up walls and wall jump…
    Toggle is the brute that can toggle between large to weigh platforms down or break items and to a smaller version to get launched into the air, walk on water and fit into small cracks... a character who I believe had the most promise in terms of level design… and swoop is a bird that can fly and swoop…
    Sadly each of these characters only have 1 dedicated level each..
    They’re so fun to play as that I actually wouldn’t have mind if sackboy got a bit of a break and most of the levels belonged to them…
    But not completely focus on the new 3 because sackboy is still the star...
    Each world also ends in a boss battle… and the final 2 levels are dedicated to all 4 characters which are easily the more stressful parts in the game…
    especially considering the checkpoint limits where when you die too many times in one spot you’re punished by having to restart the entire level..
    I’ve never been a fan of this concept and I’m still not…
    and it definitely sucks when you have to go through these lengthy sections as each of the characters...
    mess up with one and you have to do the others you succeeded in all over again…
    And the checkpoints here are a little too generous at times in spots they don’t need to be while smacking you with very hard stretches that have no checkpoint in sight…
    Making levels feel a little unbalanced at times...
    The 2nd chunk of the game comes down to if you like playing levels or if you want to get your hands dirty and design them…
    There’s an online mode that lets you play countless levels designed by the community and for those looking to design those levels..
    Your only limitations are your imagination and your hard drive...
    and of course the 16 layers max for your levels constraint... but you can go wild with everything else as you’re able to link levels and create adventure maps
    You can design with any of the characters in mind that again play and feel completely different… it really is a great playground for the creative type.
    And littlbigplanet 3 also does a great job at teaching mechanics by delivering tools and their functions in a puzzle mode...
    so while you’re getting through these puzzle levels with the tools you’re also learning how to use them in creative mode without realizing it…
    Littlebigplanet 3 is a huge improvement that offers a great deal of possibility in level design and gameplay... The campaign feels standalone again and the community creations here are the most impressive yet... so if a 5 and a half hour campaign isn’t long enough to you, head online and enjoy the community levels...
    There’s something here for everyone and is a staple that should be in everyone PlayStation 4 collection…

It's sequel, while not as good as the first by my standards, upped the ante by introducing new features and a new creator engine. LittleBigPlanet 3 ups it even more, by giving us even more features, and some more playable characters, while it does have some flaws.

    The game still has the same charm that made it's two predecessors so noteworthy. Everything is made out of different materials, and our sackboy is still s cute as ever. The story is just your simple story about a hero saving the universe. While it is short, that doesn't bother me. All the levels are so varied, with each taking on a different noteworthy task. One thing that i wasn't too fond of was that all the characters (except playable ones) are fully voiced. For me this took away the charm of the incomprehensible gibberish that all the background characters spoke. I do like the overall voice performances though, especially Hugh Laurie as our lovable semi-villain Newton.

    The big new feature that LBP 3 introduces is the new playable characters. We have Oddsock, a dog-like sack creature that is super agile. Toggle, a beefy sack person that can change between big and small. Finally, my favorite new character swoop, a bird sack creature that can fly and, well, swoop. All these characters are so fun to play as, which is why i'm so sad that they aren't in the game that much. But, with the new gadgets available, sackboy is still a blast to play as. As always, you can customize these characters with cute little costumes, which, even if you didn't buy DLC, there are still a lot of costumes. Also, if you link up your LBP account with this, you can get all your costumes, stickers, decorations and goddies from the first two games carried over to this one.

    As always, the community levels are amazing. I love seeing all the people across the world putting their spin on the littleBigPlanet level creator. Some of these community levels are even better than the actual levels in the story. The level creator is very in-depth, and maybe a little too in-depth. I found myself struggling to create something outside of a simple platformer, i felt so buried underneath all the features.

    LittleBigPlanet 3 is a great game all around, and is one of the best exclusives currently on the PS4. 8/10    … Expand

And the best part is that I enjoyed it more than I thought!

    Leaving aside the obvious that it's a game aims the youngest members of the house, it still has the ability to deliver tons of fun, it's also very good looking, reeeeally colorful, it follows the line of the series. The story is simple and very has a very basic humor, children aimed, but it isn't a bad thing given the type of game it is.

    The coop is fun and you'll have a great time, either using the SharePlay or online with random ppl.

    I'm not very creative myself, and although I tried to create my world ... I'm a huge mess, so was my girlfriend! But we will try to make our own world even so, we shall succeed! Sooner or later...

    I was pleasantly surprised to see that the public worlds of some people are even better than the story itself simply stunning! The community is awesome and I've come to realize that this game is not about its campaign, it's about exploring your creativity and sharing it with everyone on the community.    … Expand

    This is a great platform game I liked it a lot. This is my second Little Big Planet game and my favorite one. The added characters are a great addition to the franchise and to play as. However, the only issue for me was the last levels where you have to replay from the start after you failed many attempts. Taking that aside is a great game.

    With this being my first LittleBigPlanet experience, I found it to be a satisfying, delightful and colourful platforming world. However, I can't say that LittleBigPlanet 3 has much replay value after completion of the main story.

My only problem with it is that the story is kinda short, and you can probably complete it in a few hours. They really are encouraging you to play all the creations that users have created. And I love that.

    It shows off what the players can do with levels. While there is some poorly-made levels out there, most of the content you'll find our really great levels! You can even play levels made in earlier games. I also appreciate the upgrade from 3 layers to 16 layers, giving you the chance to really expand your levels in very unique ways. I'm not entirely sure if it's something I'll always use, though.

    Unfortunately, the DLC is kind of lacking, seeing as there's not many LBP3 exclusive level packs. Really something you should skip over.

    Anyway, long story short, it's a great game if you really want to see user-generated content, and I highly recommend you pick this game up.    … Expand

    This game went above my expectations. The characters are really charming and the platforming is great ! I'm impressed by the overall quality of the game even though it's quite short...There is a difficulty spike at the end but it remains forgiving. I'm looking forward for the Sackboy game on PS5 now :)

There are a couple of very noticeable bugs that haven't been fixed, such as profile corruptions, random online disconnects, crashing after using the home menu on PS4 while in an online game, pod window distortion when transforming into other characters, and soft locking, but the game is still rather enjoyable thanks to what good things it has to offer.

    Online multiplayer is more enjoyable with experience with the franchise, and as long as all players have a great internet connection. However, not being able to join someone requires closing the application, and opening it again (for PS4 users). PS3 and PS5 users don't have this issue, so they're fine not having that issue. Unfortunately, cross-platform play is not added in the game, so PS3, PS4, and PS5 users can't play with each other online.

    The community levels are all over the place when it comes to how good they are to play. Most Team Picked levels may be enjoyable for certain players, but most of them have level design issues, and falling out of bounds. Others like hangout levels, scenery, films, etc. are more enjoyable to experience. There is some cringe, but I suggest not going to those levels if they're really not your type. Trying to create good levels is something to get interested in, but it takes a lot of trying to get used to the tools of the game.

    While I don't like these said issues, they take time to get used to. If LittleBigPlanet 3 really isn't your cup of tea, you can try the other titles, Dreams, or advanced creating software on PC. By the way, this game is pretty fun to mod or use modded tools if you're into that, but having experience of the game, and knowing links to LittleBigPlanet Discord servers is required.

    Overall, this may not be something to keep a grasp on for the average player if they're not that experienced with the franchise, so attempting to master the previous titles is recommended. I feel like things like this should definitely be more noticed by many other players looking into the game, so my real rating for this game would be 4/5 stars because of the enjoyable parts. It's okay to have your own opinions as long as you have good reasons to feel a certain way about something, and that you can properly criticize something with much experience with the topic.    … Expand

    LittleBigPlanet 3 is good game, but the story is pretty lackluster and it was incredibly buggy at launch to the point where the game was almost unplayable. Thankfully, most of them were patched later on, though it still doesn't change the fact that Sony rushed LBP3.

    The story is charming and simple, the game play is good as well. Little big planet 3 is a 2.5d platformer based off the players imagination. Being made by sumo digital instead of media molecule is very saddening and the game is worse for it, but despite its many many flaws it is a great game and I would recommend it even if its more of a kids game

    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.
