    Such a fun cute game! I love all these unique creative levels that abuse the duelsense controller as well as running at a smooth 60fps. Gets a but boring at times, but still great overall. I highly recommend getting this game especially if you have friends to enjoy it with!

    The most fun PlayStation platformer I played since Tearaway. It may not the most original due to it takes elements from Mario 3D world and music levels from Rayman but still has it's own charm and personality. Having Dawn French as scarlet is a stroke of genius. I guarantee this will put a smile on your face.

    Sackboy: A Big Adventure is a whimsically fantastic take on the LittleBigPlanet series that lives up to the name despite its new stitching.

It's an amazing platforming experience for all ages, especially when playing with friends or trying to earn all of the many different collectibles found in each diverse level. An admittedly barebones story does not detract from what the game does best: carefully crafted gameplay accentuated by a childish and playful atmosphere that never failed to put a smile on my face. Hours in, and still far from 100% completion, I can't wait to finish writing this review so I can hop back into Craftworld, which is still as magical as it was when I first played the original LittleBigPlanet on my PS3. Thank you for such a great (and criminally overlooked/underrated) launch game, Sumo Digital. You have truly outdone yourselves. :) Expand

    An awesome platformer with a lot of charm. It’s so addicting to complete each level and collect all the costumes. Great for all ages, I highly recommend it! Don’t know why this game isn’t getting the attention it deserves.

    Absolutely fantastic launch title for the PS5. As a long time fan of Littlebigplanet it's nice to see a departure from the main formula. The controls are responsive and less heavy compared to Littlebigplanet. We now have combat moves to freshen things up. The soundtrack is great, fits the overall mood and setting very well. The graphics are absolutely stunning and ray tracing has beenAbsolutely fantastic launch title for the PS5. As a long time fan of Littlebigplanet it's nice to see a departure from the main formula. The controls are responsive and less heavy compared to Littlebigplanet. We now have combat moves to freshen things up. The soundtrack is great, fits the overall mood and setting very well. The graphics are absolutely stunning and ray tracing has been implemented well in reflections and lighting. Yet the game still retains 60fps with ease.

    The story is as you'd expect in a mascot platformer, but not to say it detracts from the experience.

    There is lots to do, from collecting all the orbs, completing the challenges as well as co op and single player trails.

    If you like 3D platformer. Sackboy: A Big Adventure should not be missed.

    Its a decent game, nice characters and great world design. I feel like they should have taken more advantage of the PS5's controller. Overall it seems more like a PS4 title and I don't see the next gen benefits really.

Its just amazing platforming experience and i dont regret any second of it. This game is just fun and in later worlds challenging at the same time. Time trials (or knitted knight trials) are the most fun i had with time trials in a game. This is a must play when youre a fan of platformers and have PS4/PS5. Stunning and Amazing game 10/10. Btw the plush with special edition is just sooo cute and i would reccomend the special edition of the game more than the standard one. Its really worth 90 dollars and you get a lot of content with it. Or when youre digital only theres digital deluxe edition that includes the digital content of the special edition. Its the same but without a Tiger Sackboy plush and a phisical artbook. (You actually get the digital artbook in both versions) Expand

    Best game I have played for 12 years. This is a good sign for the PlayStation 5. It would be a shame if anyone missed the chance to play this - especially with friends or family.

    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.
