    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

    One of the best cooperative games available! The levels are colorful and inventive! I hope we get a sequel.

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.

    What a wonderful surprise. 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”.

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

    This is must have for any platforming fans! It plays great; it looks great; it sounds great and it doesn’t have performance issues. The story is pretty awful and there is huge amount of multiplayer though, as I was hoping for strictly single player. Which it has about 50-50 ratio

    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

    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.
