Awesome game and a whole lotta fun and that's the review.

Fun little two player game. Not often you can find couch co-op games nowadays.

From the voice acting, to the replay factor, the graphical finery, and superb multiplayer (shame that's not online for launch, only in-person co-op), Sackboy is another title to assert PlayStation's ongoing success.

Masses of replayability value; Superb co-op multiplayer; Graphical fidelity and textures brings real charm; Voice acting is marvellous

Pace can feel slow at times; Some quirks with depth perception; No online multiplayer at time of release

Sony Interactive Entertainment and Sumo Digital’s Sackboy: A Big Adventure on the Playstation 5 is a charming, vibrant, graphically astounding platformer that serves as a great entry into the genre for newcomers.

An inventive and engaging platforming experience that especially shines in co-op multiplayer - enjoyable for all ages.

When looking at the PS5 launch lineup, Sackboy: A Big Adventure was not at the top of my hype list. Sure, it’s Sackboy, one of the most iconic PlayStation mascots since LittleBigPlanet’s release on PS3, but having been underwhelmed with the just okay LittleBigPlanet 3 , seeing Sackboy’s smiling...

Not tethered to the create mode; Amazing detail on the PS5; Crafted worlds are stunning; The soundtrack breathes life into the adventure

Occasional goofy physics glitches with costume pieces; Lot's of "accidental" slapping of your co-op buddy

Looks great on PS5 ; Brilliant use of music; Lots of variety; Nice use of the DualSense pad;

No online multiplayer at launch; Not particularly challenging; Combat feels a bit off;

Sackboy: A Big Adventure is an audio-visual feast, a living work of art that continuously delights and amazes players with its bottomless well of creativity. Some pacing issues can't do much to detract from the amazing level design, tight platforming, and astounding soundtrack.

Sackboy: A Big Adventure isn’t the headline-grabbing title in the PS5’s launch lineup, and it’s not going to be remembered like the best 3D Mario games. But few games are, and that doesn’t mean it’s not well worth your time. There are more challenging platformers out there, but get through the fairly sedate opening levels and A Big Adventure opens up into a varied and consistently entertaining romp. We just wish we could have a whole game made up of those music-driven levels. The PS5 is commendably not short of family-friendly games to play over the festive period, and if that’s what you’re looking for, Sackboy: A Big Adventure ticks nearly all the boxes.

Looks great on PS5 ; Brilliant use of music; Lots of variety; Nice use of the DualSense pad;

Sackboy: A Big Adventure is the surprise jewel in Sony’s PS5 launch lineup and a shining example of how to create a kid-friendly, yet challenging platformer that appeals to all ages and abilities.

Fantastic level design; Four-player co-op; Challenging gameplay;

Somewhat predictable boss fights; End of level fanfare takes too long; Some levels require two players
