    I played it's previous games
    They were fun but none of em were as complete as this one is
    Its so damn cool to see this stuff in these gen but it is so simple for adults, the puzzle are easy to solve and the gameplay will bore you after 3 hrz

    In my opinion this is the worst game in the LBP/sackboy series due to the weird/inconsistent/broken camera angles and aspect ratios.
    The game seems obsessed with having the camera at a weird angle where you cannot see what is happening properly - the jump perspective ends up being completely off and this just makes the game unnecessarily frustrating.

    I've had so many glitches with jump just not working, getting caught on invisible edges and falling off ground which I appear to be on.
    Some of the levels where the animations match the music go slightly out of sync and this makes the buttons feel laggy.
    Lots of the game feels slow and bloated - moving between levels, end screen taking photos etc.    … 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

    riuscire a far fare il salto al 3d da un platform che è sempre stato in 2d non è semplice, quindi dare questo progetto ad uno studio secondario che aveva già pubblicato un più che dimenticabile little big planet 3 non è stata forse l'idea vincente.
    in questo caso il gioco è riuscito, ma allo stesso tempo è pieno di tante piccole imperfezioni che non me lo fanno apprezzare completamente.    riuscire a far fare il salto al 3d da un platform che è sempre stato in 2d non è semplice, quindi dare questo progetto ad uno studio secondario che aveva già pubblicato un più che dimenticabile little big planet 3 non è stata forse l'idea vincente.
    in questo caso il gioco è riuscito, ma allo stesso tempo è pieno di tante piccole imperfezioni che non me lo fanno apprezzare completamente.
    in generale i livelli non sono male, non molto complessi ma pieni di segreti e di obbiettivi tipo completa il livello senza morire che fanno aumentare la sfida, per poi arrivare nella parte finale con un sostanziale aumento della difficoltà.
    il problema viene quando alcune hitbox dei nemici sono un po troppo grosse facendoti morire ingiustamente, o ancora peggio quando il protagonista non si aggrappa e rimbalza sulla struttura facendoti cadere inevitabilmente nel vuoto.
    anche il salto che non copre grandi distanze nei livelli dove bisogna saltare tra piattaforme mobili regalerà tante belle cadute.
    ma la cosa più insopportabile di tutto il gioco è la premiazione finale dopo aver finito un livello.
    inizieranno elencandoti i punti fatti
    poi ci sarà il momento foto, quindi mettiti in posa attendi diversi secondi, tutto finito? no ovviamente ora ti mostriamo per altri secondi la bellissima foro appena fatta.
    tutto finito? no ovviamente ricapitolo dei premi che abbiamo ottenuto nel livello, ed ora finalmente potremo ritornare nella mappa del mondo.
    però aspetta un secondo forse ti interessa sapere per la terza volta quanti collezionabili hai trovato nel livello.
    ma aspetta ancora un secondo hai trovato tutti i collezionabili, che bravo che sei stato ecco un bellissimo adesivo che ti verrà applicato sul tuo diario con tanto di animazioni lentissime.
    tutto questo porterà via poco più di 1 minuto nulla di grava se solo non ci fossero una novantina di livelli, e se solo il gioco non durasse poco più di 10 ore, risultano quindi essere il 10/15% del esperienza complessiva di tutto il gioco.
    fortunatamente il gioco non è solo questo, e tra simpatici livelli, e piacevoli prove a tempo che aggiungono fin da subito una buona sfida il titolo in generale risulta consigliato.
    anche se forse il titolo è stato più studiato per essere apprezzato di più in cooperativa.
    tra livelli opzionali che si possono giocare solo in coop, a livelli in singolo che palesemente hanno zone arene pensate per più giocatori, fino ad arrivare alle premiazioni finali , la sensazione che si ha è che sia proprio un titolo volutamente puntato sulla coop, ma che lo si può apprezzare anche da soli.

I figured that “Sackboy: A Big Adventure” would eventually release on Playstation Plus and it did. I did not expect much. Wow. I have not seen a level design this creative since “Super Mario 3D” and visuals this visceral since “Tearaway: Unfolded”.

    The design and animations are just a joy to see. In some ways, the game world reminds of those classic old cartoons where every objects is alive with movement. One level incorporates the beat from “Uptown Funk”. Maybe it’s the old man gamer in me. I’ve played platformers since the early days of the arcade. There is an enjoyment in the feeling of movement and mastery of timing. Sackboy has all that and lots of secrets to find.

    Sackboy himself jumps and moves well on command. Some platformers are just too strict with the timing of jumps, and overestimate not only the reaction time of the player, but also the limits of the players equipment. In a kind of “Dark Souls” lite, you can regain a life after you die by returning to the scene of crime. Difficulty may depend on your skill level. As a platforming veterans, I found myself steamrolling through the early levels with little problem. Some of the challenge is in finding the secret areas. “Super Mario 3” was fantastic about filling out the game map with nooks and crannies to explore. That tradition continues here. Somewhat reminiscent of “Sonic: The Hedghog”, Sackboy can find himself rolling about tubes that connect parts of levels. And finally, the pedigree of “Little Big Planet” is brought into a full 3D world. Just stellar through and through.

    I feel a little bad because I gave the PS5 exclusive “Ratchet and Clank: A Rift Apart” a 8/10. I said that a beat em up with guns like Ratchet and Clank can only be so good. So why can a platform be better? It’s because a platformer does not rely on spamming the trigger. A platformer makes you think and strategize and sometimes find the perfect path and other times resort to brute force. A great platformer can reach the highest of heights. Sackboy nearly gets there. The adventure is a bit limited by repetition, much how “Super Mario World” was a generational leap in graphics and gameplay yet still felt lesser compared to “Super Mario 3”. More is not always better.

    More costumes are better, and I give full credit to the developers for putting in the work. The little side challenges are also a nice touch. The game includes multiplayer though I doubt many of the folks on my friends list are interested in this adventure. Still, the option of multiplayer is a nice to have.

    All in all, I highly recommend this game. Sackboy may be one of the most overlooked gems this generation. I understand how people felt when the game launched. $70 for a platformer. The PS4 version means there is nothing special for PS5. None of that means anything to me. This is a tight game and you will enjoy it despite yourself.    … Expand

    The entire game feels like running through a swimming pool. Momentum is awful and controls feel laggy and unresponsive, which you'll definitely start to notice more on the occasions the game demands precision platforming from the player.

    Level and boss design are also extremely pedestrian, the game doesn't do enough with the good ideas it has and way too much with the bad ones (auto-scrollers have never been fun,) and don't even get me started on gatekeeping content behind multiplayer, that garbage was unacceptable when Dead Space 3 did it a decade ago and time has not sweetened the premise.

    In short, there is no reason to play this when much better options exist, but there are also worse games out there.    … Expand

The new take on the series is fresh and exciting, focusing more on story-made levels that are each incredibly creative, exciting, and all different in a way that makes each level feel like something we haven't seen yet. The gameplay is fun and just tricky enough to make it feel rewarding when you achieve something cool.
    The soundtrack is astonishingly good. It invokes something warm in my chest whenever i hear it.
    The genius choice to keep in so many things from the original games is the cherry on top; keeping the bubbles, bound pads, boost boots and their sound affects, to create this brilliant nostalgia in players like me. The choice to keep old characters that make the player feel like they're meeting an old friend alongside Sackboy.

También son reseñables las funcionalidades del DualSense (aunque un paso por detrás de Astro's Playroom), el diseño artístico y las cargas rápidas.

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.

The controls feel too imprecise, Sackboy is super-sluggish (I was constantly wishing for a sprint button), the moveset is really limited, your jumps are INCREDIBLY short and combat is annoying because your reach seems to be about 2 millimeters, which, combined with very weird hitboxes and enemies that don't always stick to their familiar patterns, make it way too easy to get hit. Should that happen too often and you die, respawning takes about half an eternity. Also, adding up stuff at the end of the level takes WAY too long and the fact that you can't just skip taking a dumbass photo for every completed level is just ridiculous.

    On the plus side, the presentation is very good: The game looks amazing and the music is more than serviceable, if a little forgettable.

    So yeah, I'd recommend this mostly to kids/parents. Or if you're really into 3D platformers, you might want to get this on sale, but don't exactly expect a masterpiece on par with the likes of Mario. All in all, Astro's Playroom is the better game and that comes for free with every PS5, soooo...    … Expand

    A big departure from the previous 3 little big planet games, for instance no level builder, but a fun platformer. Had a great time playing coop (up to 4 players) and the music levels were really cool, with some unexpected music. Check them out on you tube if your on the fence. Knitted knight trials was also pretty cool and unexpected. Overall significantly better than I thought it would be!

    Sackboy: A Big Adventure is an isometric 3D platformer game based on the LittleBigPlanet franchise but stripped of the creativity mode. Some people will miss the creativity mode (at least you can still customize Sackboy's appearance with new outfits), but I think this way the game gained what every LittleBigPlanet game before it lacked: cohesion, focus and quality on the campaign mode.Sackboy: A Big Adventure is an isometric 3D platformer game based on the LittleBigPlanet franchise but stripped of the creativity mode. Some people will miss the creativity mode (at least you can still customize Sackboy's appearance with new outfits), but I think this way the game gained what every LittleBigPlanet game before it lacked: cohesion, focus and quality on the campaign mode. Just look at Media Molecule's Dreams, which went full on the creativity aspect but lacks a campaign for players to play through (whatever single player content is included there is an afterthought at best).

    This time around there is no big-name actor narrating like in previous LittleBigPlanet games, but there is another in-game character acting as a guide. Sackboy remains silent as always. But the game's antagonist Vex is a great character.

    Playing Sackboy is joyful, with colorful environments and solid platforming which becomes more challenging as you advance through the 5 worlds (there is a secret 6th world which is even more challenging), and there are quite a few boss fights. On specific levels you will be given a tool such as a boomerang or flying boots in order to progress. You can always invite other players (party of up to 4 players) to join you, either locally or online. But what annoys me is the game's collectathon aspect. You won't have an issue beating the game and see the credits, but unlocking the secret 6th world and all of its levels requires you to find all of the blue orbs scattered in every level.

    Graphically Sackboy isn't anything to write home about, but it's still pleasant to see. A nice upgrade versus the older LittleBigPlanet games is that Sackboy runs at locked 60 fps, providing a smooth playing experience.

    The game's soundtrack is awesome, with plenty of nice tunes. There are 5 music-based levels which are tuned to "move" according to the music currently playing. "Moving" includes anything from simple shake of parts of the level to moving platforms and activating jump pads according to the beat.

    On PS5 the game makes limited use of the Dualsense, which is a shame. Resolution is a bit higher than 1440p but definitely not full 4K.

    Sackboy is easily the best 3D platformer you can buy outside of Nintendo's Mario games. Just play it and you'll enjoy it.    … Expand

    Sackboy is an excellent four player platformer. Worth your time and money, you’ll be entertained the whole way through, especially if you dig a little deeper and look for all the collectibles. Of course, if you don’t, you’ll find the first 3 worlds on the short side as most can be completed in 2-3 minutes if you’re rushing through.

On the surface it seems to be made as a first time platformer for kids who are new to the genre and learning to play games, giving a lot of feels to beloved titles like Spyro the Dragon. But much like Spyro the more you play the more intricate the game becomes if you try to find the collectibles, complete the challenges, or hunt the trophies which are the most daunting tasks yet. This dual audience adds to it's charm because whether your goal is just to finish a level or to get a rewarding feeling by doing everything, you get both in one package. Some of the challenges throughout the main game do feel a bit repetitive, but the post game gives a world so challenging it becomes it's own level of fun! I honestly wish the whole game played like the post game world because it clearly showed the developers knew how to make a deep platformer that was the perfect level of challenging and rewarding, but alas, the decision to make this game a dual audience made this impossible.

    The story of this game is an absolute delight as well. You play through a Pixar style story with an Oogie-Boogie style villain who's such a delight to go up against. This game also makes use of several popular songs, and while I would have liked a more original soundtrack, some of the remixes or use of lyrical songs were well done. Overall this game is very good, but just barely misses the mark of greatness, but it is a lot of fun to play and I'm glad I picked it up.    … Expand

    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.

I really wanted to like this game as it is another entry in the LittleBigPlanet series, which happens to be one of my favourites videogame franchises. However, I am sad to note that this is one of the most boring and mentally tiring games I have ever had the displeasure of playing.

    First of all, the pacing of the game is terrible. Sackboy moves at the speed of an average garden snail and a lot of the time platforming feels like you've only just barely made the jump across gaps. The LittleBigPlanet franchise was always a slow experience in where the player was encouraged to collect 'prize bubbles', which gave them items to be used around the game. The game has now turned this style into a painful experience with it's janky controls and slooooooooow gameplay.

    Secondly, the level design and aesthetics is also really poor. I remember in the first LBP game every level had a unique quirk to it and they were very interesting to look at. In this game all of the levels seem to blend into one. None of them particularly stick out, and look comparatively bland. If you asked me to name any single level from this game. I couldn't. That is how lacking in variety they are.

    To be fair, I didn't I wasn't expecting this game to be a masterpiece BUT I was expecting to gain some sort of satisfaction out of it, having waited 6 years for a new LBP game. There is some fun to be had here, but only if you manually speed through the game at a reasonable pace and get the required amount of orbs to progress (don't even bother torturing yourself to get 100%), or mess about with a few mates.

    Seeing all the positive reviews is absolutely maddening. This is why the games industry is getting worse; half-heartedly produced games like these are eaten up by smooth-brains and casuals who praise it despite having barely grasped the concept of critical thinking. I have no idea what demographic this game is supposed to be targeted towards; It's too hard for children, but tonally the game is too childish for adults.

    Look, just go play either LBP1 or 2 on PS3, they're infinitely better than this snooze fest. I hate sumo digital so much, and hope Media Molecule come back to developing the series in order to save it. Phew, rant over, time to move on and play better games.    … Expand

It strings together all of the previous smaller challenges into one big one, which seemed a bit uncreative. There are also no checkpoints through it, which demands near perfection just to complete it, let alone gold medaling it. I will admit, though, getting gold on it does leave you satisfied.
    My biggest complaint is definitely related to online play. A friend and I played the whole campaign at it was a total nightmare. Teleporting, glitching, random deaths, etc., were constant. Both of us have 60Mb internet and play together frequently. I do suspect, however, it may be due to crossplay (I was on PS5, they were on PS4). My other complaint has to do with the currency that you buy outfits and emotes with. After completing the game 100% (gold completion on every level, challenge and trial) and even going through most levels an extra time with my friend as host, I was far short of being able to purchase every one of these items. This leads to roughly 8+ hours of tedious farming, as there is no good way to build this currency after the game.
    In short... The game is generally fantastic and is truly fun to play, especially in single player. The issues the game has could easily be fixed with patches and if fixed, I could easily give the game an 8.5 or 9.

    (**SIDE NOTE... The game does not properly save the non host's high score, making you have to get the high score again**)

    PROS:
    -Lots of Little Big Planet charm
    -A general good balance of challenge
    -Licensed music themed levels are well engineered (audibly, visually and creatively)
    -Runs smooth and looks fantastic

    CONS:
    -Glitchy co-op play
    -Tedious currency accumulation at the end
    -High score does not transfer correctly when not hosting co-op
    -Disappointing final challenge    … Expand

    This is the worst game currently on PS5 and a real hiccup in the franchise. A few people better have lost their jobs over the execution of the game. I’m hard pressed to think of the last time I spent $110 on a game and thrown it in the bin. I think previously the only other game I threw out was the SNES version of The Last Action Hero but that was about $60, I guess in today’s money it wasThis is the worst game currently on PS5 and a real hiccup in the franchise.

I think previously the only other game I threw out was the SNES version of The Last Action Hero but that was about $60, I guess in today’s money it was about the same. I was about fifty fifty each way on liking or hating each level and the ones I hated the most (top down forced scrolling was the worst) removed any chance that I’d want to keep this… 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.

    A brilliantly accessible and clever platformer with a top-notch soundtrack. This is a must-have title for any PlayStation owner who likes platformers.
