One of the best games of 2020
If you were lucky enough to score a PS5 this holiday, Sackboy is a 3D audio showcase. If you can’t get enough of the PS5’s pack in-game Astro’s Playroom, Sackboy: A Big Adventure fills a platforming void Sony has been missing for years. While it does have some problems, these are issues most people will be able to get past. Even if it is resorting to buying the $90 version of the game to play as Sackboy Porter Bridges. Or never leaving the disc in your PS5 when you turn the console on. If you are looking for a family game to go with that new PS5, or are just wondering what happened to the platformers in Sony’s past, Sackboy is a must buy.
At its core, Sackboy: A Big Adventure is a well-polished 3d platformer that has a lot of style and a very unique charm. It has pushed Sackboy even further into the realm of respected video game characters. The creativity we see in the level design may not have made its way to the puzzles but this does not stop this game being a great game to play on your shiny new PlayStation 5.
Sackboy has never been cuter, and in short, thanks to the added full-fledged story, you see him as the little hero who can do impossible things. The game takes a recommendation of 8 points and is another great family exclusive game, which we simply missed on PlayStation.

Sackboy: Big Adventure is a remarkable platforming title that presents well solidified concepts. Demonstrating an almost perfect gameplay, complemented with an interesting and differentiated level design is possibly one of Sony's most interesting bets for the beginning of this new generation. Complemented with an excellent characters' characterization, the protagonist in particular, it is a sure bet not only for fans of the genre, but also for players in general. The challenge remains for producers to take more risks in the future in order to evolve and present new concepts within the genre.

While I didn’t have as great a time with Sackboy: A Big Adventure as I did Astro’s Playroom, this was still a fun time. It’s definitely a much longer platformer, and it offers a lot more challenge as well. It doesn’t take as much advantage of the DualSense controller on PlayStation 5, but this is likely due to the game being available on PlayStation 4 as well. Either way, Sackboy is still a strong platformer for friends and families to play together this holiday season. The levels are diverse, the music is catchy, and the charm is excellent.
A great solo debut for one of the most adorable PlayStation's mascot with a more tradicional and old-school platformer.

Sackboy: A Big Adventure takes the franchise in a new direction while still maintaining the infectious charm of its predecessors
Sackboy: A Big Adventure is a great platformer filled with care in each of the little details in the environment, featuring some fun action that’s perfect for all ages.
Sackboy: A Big Adventure, although it initially didn't wink at me, ultimately disproved me in the most humiliating way. Sumo Digital's platformer brought back memories of the original LittleBigPlanet and overall delivers a very fun and enjoyable 10 hours, which you can experience together with three other friends.

We know how crazy 2020 has been, but out of all the games I've played this year, Sackboy: A Big Adventure was the one I didn’t know I needed. It’s a fantastic platformer that appeals to players of all ages. You may feel uplifted, or encouraged, even. The game doesn’t reinvent the wheel for its genre, but the impressive execution, clever ideas, and extra effort behind this platformer proves that the world of Sackboy is a fun place to visit, and that the polish done to every aspect of the game makes it a must-buy for any enthusiast that owns a PS4 and PS5.
Sackboy is back with a very colorful and happy vengeance. While the Create option has been dropped, Sackboy has gained a third dimension. On his quest to stop the evil Vex, Sackboy travels through almost lifelike crafted worlds full of perils. While Sackboy himself hasn't learned many new tricks, his enemies and the environment have, resulting in a diverse journey that is a treat to undertake.

Sackboy doesn’t have the tight movement tech of Crash Bandicoot 4 or the butter-melting charms of a game like Astro’s Playroom, but it’s well worth a look if you’re in the market for an innovative platformer that makes the most of the PS5’s exclusive features.
Sackboy: A great adventure is an absolutely valid platformer: nice, fun and above all light, which makes it suitable for any type of person, from children to adults.

While Sackboy A Big Adventure tends to follow a strict platforming formula, it also shows unparalleled creativity in visuals and level design, even going beyond by incorporating the soundtrack as part of the gameplay in some levels.
Sackboy: A Big Adventure is not revolutionary or iterative for the genre, but it’s just a solid and casual platformer. Sackboy is a Sony mascot I’m the least familiar with, though is one of my favorites next to Astrobot. While it is very much a stylized game, the way the colors, material, and textures all come together make it so pretty to see in motion. Sackboy: A Big Adventure is simply a wonderful 3D platformer that will delight everyone of all ages for dozens of hours.
When analyzed by its body of work, Sackboy: A Big Adventure is one of the best 3D platform games ever created. Although the children's audience is its main target, here is a recommended adventure for all those who have not let their inner child slip away in time. With its visuals and features superior to those offered by consoles, the PC adaptation is welcome and cause for celebration, because more people will have contact with Sackboy - and that will never be a bad thing.
