    Love to play this together with my daughter it's easy and fun to jump in from time to time. Especially if you own two or more PS5 controllers which are required to play co-op. Bought another just for this game and it was well worth it.    … Expand

    Amazing and fun game. You need to buy this if you want an awesome co-op game. The graphics are also very pretty and the soundtrack is amazing. Another awesome game from Sumo Digital and XDev.

    I was wrong, we’re on the third world now and the new developers of this franchise has changed my mind. Praise the new lords Sumo Digital, they may have made the best Littlebigplanet game yet! It’s great to see these kind of fun, family friendly, and charming games on PlayStation instead of Nintendo.

    Let me start with... This is a great game that seems to be already under rated by critics. I loved the original LittleBigPlanet games, they were full of originality and fresh ideas. But unfortunately the actual game levels of the original games felt pieced together and more like a string of levels pasted together than complete games. The focus was more on creating levels in those titles.Let me start with... This is a great game that seems to be already under rated by critics.

The focus was more on creating levels in those titles. Not to mention the controls were really stubborn and extremely floaty for fans of the platforming genre. Sackboy is a solid game with the vibe of the originals but in 3D this time around. The controls are way better and the game feels solid. Sony has a great platformer to sit even next to the likes of Nintendo titles dare I say. Well done Sumo digital. :)… Expand

La historia es muy simple y típica, pero no es importante en este tipo de juegos. Como puntos negativos están las físicas, para mi gusto un poco toscas (sobre todo si vienes de jugar a cualquier juego de Mario) pero aun así son aceptables; y la jugabilidad bastante menos notable del modo un jugador (en multijugador es mucho más divertido y dinámico, además de que hay niveles exclusivos en cooperativo). Juego bastante recomendable sobre todo si lo podéis jugar con algún amigo o familiar. 8,3/10

    To start I would like to say this is a game I definitely see myself replaying years down the line. The missions had a great balance of fun and difficulty to them after the first few. The customization of mixing and matching different costumes was great and fun to play around with. Vex was a great villain but the story left a lot to be desired for me.

It’s good wholesome gaming, that I really enjoyed. I think the problems arise when you actually start to challenge yourself and attempt to complete the levels without dying, whilst simultaneously collecting all of the orbs and prizes. Here, the levels can become really frustrating. That frustration lies with the way the movement is designed in the game - it’s not very precise at all, with sackboy rarely landing where you want him to land.
    I also found that sackboy would sometimes struggle clinging onto objects and would often bounce off of them, falling to his unfortunate death.
    With all that said, and besides it being a controller breaker at times, I had a lot of fun with sackboy and think it’s a great addition to the next gen line-up. Would highly recommend for when you want a break from other bleak games and are looking for some happy vibes.    … Expand

    All the warmth of the original two games but with a refreshing playstyle. I thought the 3rd entry in the Little Big Planet series lost a lot of the atmosphere that the original two games created. However this game is a massive recovery for Sackboy and further solidifies him as a PlayStation icon!

    This is what Yoshi's crafted world should have been. The game is gorgeous (at least on PS5). And the voice acting is great. Not a must have (it is quite boring in single player) but if you are looking for a platformer on PS5 is this still a great option. Just get a friend, it is way more fun in multiplayer. There are better platforms, but there sure are worse

    One of the better couch co-op experiences to come out in the last several years, but I think it's not particularly amazing for solo play. The co-op levels are some of the best designed in the entire game, and the antics of multiplayer make it significantly better than playing alone. Don't hesitate to grab it if you enjoy cooperative gaming, but it's maybe not a must-play for everyone

Co-op only stages are also fun and you don't have to have friends in real life which are really difficult to find. You can play them with strangers on-line. I had such a great time.

Me ha gustado sobre todo el uso de habilidades especiales –gancho o boomerang, especialmente–, las pruebas contrarreloj de "Los caballeros de la puntada" (la última es un desafío de locos) y la diversidad de los 5 mundos disponibles. También son reseñables las funcionalidades del DualSense (aunque un paso por detrás de Astro's Playroom), el diseño artístico y las cargas rápidas. No es un videojuego sobresaliente, porque la historia es bastante "descafeinada", los primeros niveles son facilones y no sientes una verdadera innovación en la saga, pero Sumo Digital ha vuelto a lanzar un juego 100% disfrutón.… Expand

    Sackboy is not groundbreaking in any way, but it doesn’t need to be. It’s a wonderful platformer that looks great, sounds excellent, and offers superb co-op. It is pure, varied fun and deserves much more recognition than it received overshadowed by Spider-Man: Miles Morales and some other big releases. [01/2021, p.38]

    Sackboy A Big Adventure goes out if its way to be a Nintendo-like platformer, and almost gets it right if not for a few small but costly mistakes. It's still a very good game, but could have even been better if the developers focused more on their own ideas.
