Sackboy: A Big Adventure is not only a great 3D Platformer in its own right, but the PS4 version runs just as well on a PS4 Pro as the PS5 version. While that does devalue the PS5 version a bit, as Sumo Digital could've been allowed more time to work solely on the PS5 version and make it the best it could possibly be, it also means PS4 owners won't be missing out. Since almost none of the PS5's exclusives interest me, and I already have a PC for my next-gen gaming needs, this works out for me quite well. Sackboy plays like a linear 3D platformer, similar to Super Mario 3D World and Super Lucky's Tale. You make it from point-A to B whilst collecting any treasure you can find along the way, and the game can be played with up to 4 others in online and local co-op. On PS4 Pro, the game runs at a silky-smooth 60fps, has a great arts & crafts artstyle, and controls really well. You can chain jumps, flutter-glides and rolls together to create nimble movement for Sackboy, and exploring each level for goodies is always a blast. This is a game that's begging to be completed 100%. The music is more or less what you'd expect from other games in the Little Big Planet series; whimsical original music, with some licensed songs thrown in here and there. What I like about this game is the way the music dynamically changes depending on how far you are through a level. Other than that, the sound design is standard for this type of game, everything works as it should. The story's quite entertaining too. Taking place within the Imagisphere, a giant jester-like villain called Jinx wreaks havoc upon the denizens of Craftworld, and it's up to Sackboy to stop him and save his people. Along the way, he meets other quirky characters that aid him in some small way. It's standard stuff, but it gets the job done for a family-friendly platformer. I love Jinx's character design especially. All in all, while it won't blow you away with any innovations, Sackboy: A Big Adventure delivers on a fun, rewarding 3D platformer that looks and plays as well as you'd hope. An easy recommendation for any fan of this subgenre, or anyone looking for a good family game to play with everyone. Read full review
