I encountered bugs where i had to restart the game, and there were way to many pause for conversations, and loading screens.

    LBG 3 isnt the same game I fell in love with when LBG 1 game out. Sad to see such a game fall from grace. Dont recommend buying at all.    … Expand

    Not nearly as good as the first LBP game, but an improvement from LPB 2. Story was alright, gameplay was better than what it was in LPB 2 and the new creating possibilities are enormous.

    Dissapointment.The game isn't bad.It's just dissapointing.It has the look of the original and the gameplay of the second game but none of the heart and soul.Create mode is amazing.It has so many amazing tool's for creator's.It's a shame that the game is buggy.The new charecter's are good.The story is easily the weakest in the series.Buy it when it gets fixed,it should get a cheaper by then.

    Doesn't make me come back...

    I got this game along with the choose your game for the ps4. My friends told me i should 've gotten something else but when i started this, they were right. I stopped coming back to it and all the characters were weirdly modeled. I thought the introduction part was fun but I only played 2 times

    Now before I get started I should say that I only played around 2 hours of this game, but that is also part of the problem. The game seems like a chore to play. When I first started playing I wanted to finish the campaign portion of the game, but I just can't force myself to play it for that long. I could not bring myself to play it for more then 30 minuets at a time.

The charterers in the game are annoying and talk way to much. And the loading times are ridiculous, especially for a ps4 game (also has a ps3 version so it's not like LBP 3 is punching the ps4 to it's limits). The platforming is ok, just ok. This is not a horrible game, it's really not even a bad game. But I could not get into it, and I never want to play it again. But that's MY OPINION.… Expand

    The later parts of the game are absolutely infuriating, so much so that i quit playing it, its a real shame because i love sackboy and his new friends! :(

    So is it a bad game? No. Its a good game but just too difficult to fully enjoy.    … Expand

    The game is really short, and there is some new characters that are not used almost at all, and for some reason my progress didn't save when I played online which made me have to start all over again for no reason. LBP 2 is far superior.

    awful platforming, awful menues, you must type O button 3-4 times until you get off from them;
    story is weak, some times unskippable, stages are way worse than in LBP2;

    but great platform for creativity... not enough for a player, not a future game designer

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

    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.

    Little Big Planet 3 is not the game I've been waiting for. First off it's way too short you can beat it in like 5 hours!!!!! and it doesn't even feel like an LBP game, likely because it's made by a different developer no longer MediaMolecule it's now SumoDigital. it just feels half assed and not worth your money luckily i got it on a valentines day sale so i wasn't in deep s***

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

    I played 2 hours of this game. The majority you barely play. It is mainly boring story.

    Compare this with games like Crash Bandicoot and Super Mario. They let you play the game 90% of the time.

    Having an Elvis impersonator follow you around while 50's music plays is not fun. I don't want cliches. It's just so uninspiring. A chore to play.

    P.S. stickers are not fun or pleasing.

    The story isn't too interesting, but it's a kids game so they may enjoy it. The creator is... better than LBP2's creator. But the devs haven't addressed the terrible server issues and bugs. The devs have prettymuch abandoned the game really. The community is still good but everything seems a little less lively.

Little Big Planet 3 is good at some points with good music and if your lucky good gameplay, but it’s still an unfinished pile of garbage. (1/5 Terrible) Not Worth Your Time… Expand

    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

    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,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

    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.

    Not as good as MediaMolecule's previous games. The final level in the story mode is incredibly frustrating and not designed with multiplayer in mind at all.

This is just another case of a very powerful and potentially industry-shaping game getting neglected and forgotten by its devs.… 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.

    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.

    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

    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

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

    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.
