Sackboy: A Big Adventure<\/a> <\/em>is a new PlayStation exclusive that features the long-awaited return to Sony\u2019s LittleBigPlanet <\/em>franchise<\/a>. The PlayStation has experimented with different characters that could function as mascots, but LittleBigPlanet\u2019s <\/em>Sackboy continues to be a popular figure that audiences want to see in more games.<\/p>\n

The recent release of the PlayStation 5<\/a> has marked the return of many older properties from Sony\u2019s library, and it\u2019s exciting to see Sackboy: A Big Adventure <\/em>delivering a slightly different take on the typical LittleBigPlanet <\/em>adventure. The spin-off game has won the hearts of many fans, but it\u2019s also a title that\u2019s not without its flaws.<\/p>\n

10 <\/span>We Love: PlayStation 5 Upgrades<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Sackboy: A Big Adventure <\/em>is a title that\u2019s released during an important period of transition in the video game industry, which means that it benefits from a release on both the PlayStation 4 and the new PlayStation 5. The PS5 upgrades PS4 games<\/a> in impressive ways and it\u2019s nice to see these aesthetic improvements apply here. LittleBigPlanet<\/em>\u00a0games have always looked good, but it\u2019s exciting to finally glimpse Sackboy with PS5 hardware. Additionally, the use of the DualSense controller is sublime when moving through Sackboy\u2019s world and makes a big difference in the game.<\/p>\n

9 <\/span>We Don\u2019t Love: There\u2019s Repetitive Level Design<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Sackboy: A Big Adventure <\/em>features creative environments and levels<\/a> that are very entertaining, but it\u2019s surprising to see just how much repetition there is in a title that\u2019s not that long in the first place. There are a few distinct types of levels that do something different, but for the most part, there\u2019s a predictable pattern that the levels fall into. They may change the visuals, but some stages will gloss past the player since they\u2019re so similar to previous levels. There are some great ideas present in this game, but it doesn\u2019t feel like Sackboy<\/em> takes most of them far enough.<\/p>\n

8 <\/span>We Love: Its Use Of Co-Op<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Sackboy: A Big Adventure <\/em>is a tight platformer, but it\u2019s a part of a series that\u2019s typically been reserved for solo campaigns. One of the biggest perks of this LittleBigPlanet <\/em>spin-off is that there isn\u2019t just local couch co-op available<\/a>, but also the ability to do four-person multiplayer and really go nuts in the game.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a new experience for LittleBigPlanet <\/em>fans, but it works especially well here. It\u2019s an easy way to get more depth out of the title, but also helps turn the solo adventure into a party event.<\/p>\n

7 <\/span>We Don\u2019t Love: A Weak Story And Characters<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

To be fair, most people are jumping into Sackboy: A Big Adventure <\/em>for heightened and addicting platformer gameplay, and there isn\u2019t\u00a0any real expectation\u00a0of a deep story or robust character development. These are supposed to be cute characters, but even the Super Mario <\/em>games have found ways to expand upon its fairly static cast<\/a>. The villain in Sackboy <\/em>is Vex, but there\u2019s not much going on here beyond a basic good versus evil narrative that\u2019s used to throw Sackboy into action. This spin-off game could have set a new precedent instead of taking this direction.<\/p>\n

6 <\/span>We Love: A Heavy Level Of Customization<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

It\u2019s no secret that video games have embraced the idea of customization<\/a> in increasingly intense ways over the years. Developers understand that audiences often want to put as much of themselves as possible into the characters. Sackboy has a simple design, but Sackboy: A Big Adventure <\/em>offers a ton of cosmetics that can be added to the character to give him a more personal and unusual touch. It\u2019s incredible just how much is offered here, and there\u2019s a lot to explore in this facet of the title.<\/p>\n

5 <\/span>We Don\u2019t Love: Its Short Length<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Sackboy: A Big Adventure <\/em>is a spin-off of the LittleBigPlanet <\/em>series and so it\u2019s expected that it might not be as long of an experience as the previous games. However, despite the level of enjoyment to be had in the title\u2019s slick gameplay, it\u2019s still a very short game<\/a> that shouldn\u2019t take players much longer than a dozen hours.<\/p>\n

There are extra areas like the Knitted Knight Trials and hidden collectibles that add more to the game, but it\u2019s still very brief for a title that costs full price.<\/p>\n

4 <\/span>We Love: The Music Levels<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The biggest innovation to the platformer genre that\u2019s present in Sackboy: A Big Adventure <\/em>is the handful of music levels in the game. Sackboy <\/em>isn\u2019t the first platformer to experiment with such a concept, and the Rayman <\/em>series<\/a> has done some fantastic things with the idea. That being said, it\u2019s still wildly entertaining to see the design of levels move in tandem with not just catchy pieces of music, but mainstream hits like selections from the libraries of David Bowie or Bruno Mars. They\u2019re easily the most enjoyable levels in the game.<\/p>\n

3 <\/span>We Don\u2019t Love: It Doesn\u2019t Do Enough With The Shift To 3D<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

All of the previous LittleBigPlanet <\/em>games have worked as innovative 2.5D platformers. Traditional sidescrollers have become more of a relic in the modern age, although there\u2019s definitely still an audience for them. Sackboy: A Big Adventure <\/em>distinguishes itself from its predecessors with how it fully shifts to 3D platforming. It\u2019s a nice change of pace that gets more out of the series, but it doesn\u2019t feel revolutionary in the same way that the other titles did to 2.5D gameplay. Taking more cues from something like Astro Bot: Rescue Mission, <\/em>even if it\u2019s a VR game<\/a>, would be a strong approach.<\/p>\n

2 <\/span>We Love: The Collectibles<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Video game audiences often appreciate when there\u2019s an extra level of difficulty that\u2019s included in a title through optional challenges. Sackboy: A Big Adventure <\/em>doesn\u2019t have a very\u00a0steep difficulty curve in its attempt to appeal to a broad audience. Seasoned players of the platformer genre will easily breeze through the game, but there are tons of fun collectibles that are hidden throughout levels. These collectibles are actually challenging and there\u2019s a lot of love that goes into these objects that reflect the PlayStation\u2019s larger history. They\u2019re the perfect bonus.<\/p>\n

1 <\/span>We Don\u2019t Love: Its Graphics Don\u2019t Push The Limits<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Previous entries in the LittleBigPlanet <\/em>series have been serious showcases for what the technology of previous Sony consoles, like the PlayStation 3<\/a>, could achieve. The aesthetic in Sackboy: A Big Adventure <\/em>leans more towards a cute fantasy, but that doesn\u2019t mean that it still can\u2019t be brought to life with extreme fidelity. So much can be done with the textures and fabrics in this world, and even though the game still looks great, it could have gone further for a title that comes at the end of the PlayStation 4\u2019s life and the beginning of the next generation.<\/p>\n
