Sackboy: A Big Adventure Standard - PlayStation 5

Great game for gamers and non gamers/children and shows the awesome graphics ps5 is capable of!

This great family fun and also somewhat challenging.

This is my favorite release title on the PS5. For the first couple of sections in the first world, I thought this was going to be a boring game because they were relatively easy and not especially compelling. But the difficulty and variety ramp up, and by the time you are halfway through the first world, you will be totally engrossed. One important note: when you put the disc in and it begins downloading, it gives you the option of starting play before the download is complete. DON’T DO THIS! Let it completely download before playing. I started before it completely downloaded and I couldn’t progress past the first world. When I tried to go to the second world, I kept getting a message saying This World is Still Downloading. Try Again Later. I had to contact Sony to figure out what was going on. I ended up having to delete the game and then reinstalling. Now it’s working perfectly.

Sacboy's first adventure on PS5 is pretty great. The visuals and load times are great, and the addition of hints through the PS5 card system are pretty cool when you get stumped. I did run into a strange issue when I loaded the game the second time where it tried to load as a PS4 title. To fix this I had to press options and then choose to load as a PS5 game. I'm sure this is an early PS5 bug that will likely be fixed soon, but worth noting.

Was looking for a fun, family game I could play with my wife using two controllers on the couch. I wasn't expecting much beyond a standard platformer but was so pleasantly surprised by this game. Fantastic graphics, music and gameplay. It's very light-hearted and upbeat and the interactions between the two 'sacks' when you're playing co-op add a special touch. We had a great time and my wife normally doesn't play games - it was still very easy to pick-up and enjoy. The specially designed co-op levels are a real treat.

A lot of fans of this series apparently don't like this new game, but as someone who never played Little Big Planet or any game featuring Sackboy for that matter, I got to experience this game as a new platformer. To be honest, the game started out a bit on the easy side, but it ramps up pretty quickly. In fact, towards the end, there are some pretty complex levels. Overall, the game is easy to beat if you're just surviving until the end, but if you're looking to get 100% on every level and collect everything you can get, it'll certainly be a challenge for some time to come.

This game flew under my radar a bit during the PS5 launch, but after seeing some glowing reviews and videos of it on Youtube I decided pick it up. Sackboy is much better than the previous Little Big Planet games since it is now in full 3D. The graphics are amazing, the art direction and level design are great, and the music is really good. I love the coop play in this game. My 5 year old son and I have been playing this for a couple weeks and are having tons of fun with it.

If you loved Little Big Planet you will love this game. The charm is still there and while the story never reaches to be anything more than an excuse plot the character acting makes the ride still a fun one to have. The biggest points are how well they made sackboy into a platformer. The character is animated smoothly, the levels are beautifully made and offer a variety of gameplay challenges. Ultimately the only factors this game asks is do you like platformers? And do you like sackboy? If you can say to one or both then this will be an excellent addition for you.
