    Quizá el que menos me gustó de los 3, pero sigue manteniendo toda la esencia de la saga.

    Despite many critics I had fun with this game for many hours. But it is true that LBP2 is better than this game.

    (8/10) - Another great game in the trilogy. The things holding it back are the story mode and the spotty online servers.

    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

    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.

    Another memorable and beautiful instalment into a wonderful, awe-inducing franchise. It's just comforting and kind and feels like ebbing wrapped up in a big warm hug!

    The game is fun to play.The characters are very adorable.The Campaign is short but interesting to play.I didn't play the community levels, because the servers are down by this date.The only downside i have is the last levels of the campaign they can be very frustrating and hard.

    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 :)

    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.

    наконец-то достойная часть, в которую интересно играть даже соло. Если вы долго думали стоит ли пробовать. То однозначно начинать надо с этой части.

    This game's story is okay, but the level design in it is great, especially when playing as Oddsock, Toggle, or Swoop.

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

    I had an amazing experience with this game! Pros> New items for building, new characters, new bosses all good. Cons> wall climbing glitch and not being able to get collected all items in the needlepoint peaks even though I got it all.

    Love the fact is you can play side by side another person, I hate how most games require you to play with some random online, what ever happened to the days where you could sit beside somebody and play games. This is a really fun game to play coop

    The change in the structure of the game is good for me, the interconnected levels with freedom to choose the missions at any order, the side quests and the co-op missions are fantastic additions to the traditional LBP story mode.

    Not everything is good here, campaign is a little bit short if you don't complete side quest and the new characters only have a couple of playable levels on this mode,a wasted opportunity for me.

    But the mayor problem there is that conecction is not so good while playing online, something unforgibable in a game like this.    … Expand

    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

    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.

    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!

    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.
