    A joyful platformer that is a great to play in coop. But don't be fooled by the pleasing graphics and easy gameplay at the beginning. The game can be really hard.

But don't be fooled by the pleasing graphics and easy gameplay at the beginning. The game can be really hard.

    Pros:
    + Amazing soundtrack. It is a joy to play with the music that is playing in the background.
    + Music levels!
    + Design of the creatures and levels
    + Great to play in coop
    + The story is barely there but it is enough and it has a positive vibe.

    Cons:
    - Camera and controls. It is hard to tell where sackboy will land.
    - Coop interactions between players. I can't even tell how many times I died because I bounced off the head of a second player.
    - Frustrating platinum trophy. Not fair and hard but frustrating as you have to go 12 minutes without a single mistake. It is very easy to make mistake in that game.    … Expand

    Es un muy buen juego, tanto para niños como adultos. Tiene mucho detalles y se nota que ha sido hecho con mucho cariño y dedicación. Tiene multiplayer local y online por lo que es muy entretenido para jugarlo con familia y amigos.

    This game is great. Better than the LittleBigPlanet games. It's a very well crafted solid game. Haven't had this much fun in couch co-op in a while.

    Out crashing the bandicoot
    The best crash game to ever be made came out this year, and no im not talking about crash 4.. im talking about sackboy: a big adventure…
    Gone are the creative aspects.. sackboy a big adventure is a straight up 3D platforming colectathon and is a change for the better..
    Sackbody a big adventure can be played with up to 4 players, here you play as sackboy who sets out to save sackworld from vex… and to do so youll be collecting orbs across a variety of 3d platforming levels in an 11 and a half hour long adventure and it’s a blast from start to finish, so much love and care went into creating sackboy a big adventure that its impossible to go through the entire game without smiling uncontrollably at least once, filled with so much variety in its level design, from straight up platforming, to chase sequences, to well crafed and varied boss battles, to music infused levels, different items that transform the traversal such as a bommerang or a blaster, a grappling hook to swing with.. sackboy a ig adventure is an absolute blast for all ages… my only complaints with this game are for one, super minor.. sackboy is given a bit of a voice here and I don’t like it… I always felt like sackboy was an avatar of myself, and a big adventure takes that away instantly by giving sackboy a voice.. and the biggest complaint hre is just overall a lack of customizable options.. im used to little big planet dumping items on top of you, giving exploration incentive.. and here there just really isn’t much to find to dress yourself up with… that being said though, unlike crash 4, sackboy a big adventure does still give great incentive to explore, there are orbs to find in each level that helps you unlock the new worlds and boss battles, but also there is a currency system so you can purchase cosmetics and costumes in store rather than just having to complete challenges… so you never feel like whats the point if you missed one orb, every orb is individually important, always giving you that feeling of wanting to lookout for secrets..
    Needless to say I loved sackboy a big adventure, its better than the little big planet games, it’s a better crash game than crash is.. this spin off series feels so Nintendo in such a good way..
    A staple for your PS5 collectiob..
    I give Sackboy: A Big Adventure

    Sackboy: A Big Adventure might not feel like a LittleBigPlanet game, but there is still some fun to be had with it.

    A good 3D platformer. Sackboy is extremely expressive and charming. The levels are a bit bare bones but all enjoyable. The music themed levels are especially enjoyable.

Sackboy: A Big Adventure is an absolute blast and one of the best games ever released that I know of. I think it's worlds better than the Nintendo alternatives that get too hard for my kids after level 2. Been a gamer since 1984 with appr. 20 consoles and of course PC games (since 1995).

    Thanks to the developers. Please make a second part and stay true to yourself.    … Expand

    It seems that after Media Molecule, no game in the series has managed to replicate how excellent the first two installments were, and in my opinion, this game is no exception.

Graphically it could be the best of the series, at least I loved it, but everything else is simply not so well done for me. In addition to lacking many modes and iconic features of the previous installments, or worsening the existing ones, the platform now turned from 2d to isometric view, and I have already written many reviews of why i dont like platform games with isometric view. The perspective can cause you to miss a lot of jumps, and the combat can become somewhat awkward. Not to mention that the game does not offer anything innovative for the genre, becoming very repetitive and generic, or at least I felt that after the first world. Previous games in the series were not only creative in the art style, but also in the gameplay, and they combined both elements in a excellent way. And continuing with the gameplay, also the difficulty of the game can be very frustrating, especially when it comes to going 100%. Honestly all of the flaws in this game remind me a lot of what happend with Crash Bandicoot 4 Its About Time.
    The multiplayer is also a big downgrade compared to the previous games, and now it only serves to play the campaign mode cooperatively, but due to the lack of iconic things such as the creative mode, decoration, etc., just doesnt add much replay value to the multiplayer. The story also feels that to a certain extent it was somewhat wasted, and although previous games in the series did not stand out much in this section, I have to say that here it feels even more generic and without many characters that have charm, except for the main villain Vex , but he doesn't appear in many scenes so ...
    What I could highlight are some levels of the game that are not bad at all.
    Sumo Digital is a bad studio, it is not as good as Media Molecule.    … Expand

It's light on story but that doesn't detract much from the experience. Overall, this one hit me hard in the best way possible. I wasn't expecting to love it as much as I do. I just can't stop playing it. Let's just say that if this was a Mario game, it'd be getting 9's and 10's from all outlets. The developers should be applauded.… Expand

    Sackboy: A Big Adventure doesn't reinvent anything but it does well what a 3D platformer can do well. Unfortunately, the solo experience doesn't have the same excitement as playing it in co-op. In fact, playing single player means missing the multiplayer levels. If you have someone to share it with, you are going to find an adventure that makes you smile at all times, offering lots of fun. A challenge for adults and children.

    Sackboy is back with a very colorful and happy vengeance. While the Create option has been dropped, Sackboy has gained a third dimension. On his quest to stop the evil Vex, Sackboy travels through almost lifelike crafted worlds full of perils. While Sackboy himself hasn't learned many new tricks, his enemies and the environment have, resulting in a diverse journey that is a treat to undertake.
