Sackboy: A Big Adventure

Overall, a great start for the PS5 era and a perfect example of a game that doesn’t have to be in-your-face to still dazzle.

Sackboy: A Big Adventure is an unexpected pleasure. Overshadowed by the likes of Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Demon’s Souls in Sony’s launch line-up, it’s gone far beyond our expectations – to play it is to love it. An immaculately made 3D platformer with huge amounts of charm, if you’re after something that will never fail to put a smile on your face you ought to consider picking it up alongside your PS5. With its cutesy looks, responsive controls and oodles of imagination, Sackboy: A Big Adventure goes further than ever to make Sackboy the PlayStation mascot he deserves to be.

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.

Sackboy: A Big Adventure is dripping with charm and makes excellent use of the DualSense controller.

Sackboy is a fun adventure for everyone, easy to play and difficult to master, and it also works as a demonstration of some Dualsense capabilities, but we miss the creative side of Little Big Planet and more unique mechanics (such as the musical levels).

Despite being a game with consistent quality and performance, Sackboy: A Big Adventure can’t quite escape being run-of-the-mill when compared to its contemporaries. There is still plenty of that LittleBigPlanet charm to be found throughout this lengthy, platforming campaign though. It’s gorgeous to look at, it’s well-designed and the game feel is just right. However, if you are looking for some of that next-gen innovation on par with Astro’s latest, then you may struggle to find it here.

Sackboy: A Big Adventure is a beautiful yet very classic platformer. Sumo Digital delivers a decent game mostly made for children : with a repetitive gameplay and a lack of real challenge, it still offers to a younger audience an unharmful and colorful adventure. Too bad the DualSense wasn't used more on PS5.

This is a must play platformer, some collectibles are a little pain but the game is pure gold.

Sony fazendo jogo no estilo da nintendo e no final conseguiu fazer direitinho

Defenitely fun for couch coop, a little bit redundant but the music is great and the fluidity is on point. One thing i would say is that sometime the point of view is problematic.

The big question is - who the heck is this game for? It's advertised as this chill family friendly delightful game, so naturally I played it with my kids and indeed it is way too tame and chill for the first 4-5 worlds. It's easy, joyful, fun and not too frustrating for the little ones - and then WHAM, once you hit the final stretch (last couple of worlds) it turns completely sadistic for absolutely no reason. It really begs the question who this was for - clearly it's too boring for anyone over 12 or so, which is why it was so much fun to play with kids. And you know what? That really ****. It really **** that we had such a blast and suddenly it's impenetrable difficulty spikes concluding on a final level that is just unbearably long. And don't get me started on the side challenges - whoever puts a thing like the Ripsnorter challenge in a game that is aimed at kids and largely too boring for adults alone is a toxic, sadist masochist. This isn't a From Software game, what the heck were you thinking?? I kind of liked this game until we reached a point where it started being a bully. The last stretch left such a sour note, it ruined the journey. It's design is not fun enough for adults, yet it is too mean spirited for kids.
