Sackboy turns in a solid performance, but treads over ground that has clearly been walked on by others.

I'm very happy to see Sackboy back in action with Sackboy: A Big Adventure, and what better way than a PS5 launch title that plenty of gamers will play. Few modern PlayStation mascots hold a candle to this loveable ball of yarn. On their second attempt, did Sumo Digital succeed in creating a great exclusive?

Sackboy: A Big Adventure may not have the most memorable hook or world, but it's a strong, generous, and unexpectedly deep platformer bolstered by a wonderful use of music.

Having been in possession of the game for just over 24 hours at the time of writing, we’ve still got a lot to see and do in Sackboy: A Big Adventure – we’ve only reached the second of its worlds so far. At this point though, we can safely say that we’ve thoroughly enjoyed every single minute of it – it’s gone above and beyond our expectations. It appears to be an immaculately made 3D platformer with huge amounts of charm. We’ll follow up with a full review once we’ve put considerably more time into it, but we think it’s safe to say that if you’re picking it up alongside your PS5, you’re going to be in for a very good time.

Despite its initial problems with the PC release, Sackboy: A Big Adventure delivers today a high-quality experience. The game has excellent gameplay, fluid controls, and the ray tracing takes its stitched visuals to the next level. And while its current price is a bit overkill, it doesn't take away from its great foundation.

Sackboy: A Big Adventure is just as good now as it was during the release of the PS5. Stunning presentation aside, the platforming mechanics remain absolutely solid, and the transition from 2D to 3D is rather painless. The campaign runs at the right length with the right level of difficulty, and unlike past series entries, the multiplayer feels good instead of chaotic. The creative aspects of the original series are missed, but the game remains a solid entry in any platforming fan's game library.

Underneath the severe stuttering issues that plague this PC port of Sackboy: A Big Adventure, there is a fun game and a solid addition to the PlayStation catalog on Steam and EGS.

Sackboy: A Big Adventure is a beautiful game with a fun gameplay, colorful world and good graphics. That being said, boring narrative and empty servers are big issues you must consider before playing.

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.

Sackboy: A Big Adventure is a great and fun platform game, especially if you play it with friends. Alone, the fun is still there, but less present. The lack of a run button is also quite noticeable in this case.

Sackboy: A Big Adventure is an enjoyable platforming game that feels like familiar territory. It's a solid launch title, and will satisfy fans of the genre and the LittleBigPlanet franchise, but it doesn't do a whole lot to showcase the PS5.

Delightful launch title especially as a co-op and family friendly game. Fun & engaging platforming experience with variety of levels, high replay value & decent challenge.

A fun and well designed platformer that lacks the charm to make a long standing impact. You should try it if you want a good and family friendly game for PlayStation.

Sackboy: A Big Adventure is an excellently designed 3D platformer that is full of fun, imagination, and charm. It’s the perfect game to pick up with your PlayStation 5 to give the whole family a reason to crowd around the next generation console. While the lack of online multiplayer at launch is disappointing this game still has plenty of content to play through while we wait for that patch. The imaginative level design, beautiful visuals, and surprisingly good soundtrack will have you and the family smiling from ear to ear until the end.
