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

    It SUCKS and it’s so ugly and it was way to easy for me to enjoyed that it just ended up being boring and competitive this game belongs in the trash.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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 only reason this game isn´t a 5 is because i played it with my sister so it was a certain emotional value.

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

    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.

    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

    While LittleBigPlanet, LittleBigPlanet 2, LittleBigPlanet PSP and LittleBigPlanet for PSVita were awesome games (and I'm not gonna talk about the disaster called LittleBigPlanet Karting), LittleBigPlanet 3 isn't really a good game.

    Little big planet 3, honestamente.... es muy inferior a los anteriores.

Ademas de que en el modo creativo algo que en lo personal no me gusto es no poder cambiar el numero de capas, estando limitado siempre a las capas multiples en vez de las 3 que tenias en los juegos anteriores. Esto por desgracia rompe por completo los niveles de la comunidad hechos en el primer y segundo juego. Aun asi algunas de sus ideas no estuvieron para nada mal, y en general me gusto, pero no es un juego excelente como los anteriores.… Expand

    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.

    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

    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.
