  The biggest problem with Run Sackboy! Run! is that you soon hit a brick wall with the amount of bubbles and missions you have, and whilst the game is very playable without using actual money to complete all of the trophies and get as far as you can in the game, you will need to grind for a significant period or face spending some cold hard cash. This is typical of most F2P titles, but with only a few basic enemies, levels and content available it soon gets very repetitive – which is a shame, because there is something very likable here.

  Controls work smoothly and the game is easy to learn and play. You will have plenty of fun if you enjoy running platformers of this kind. But what really stands out are obviously the graphics: amazingly designed, with colorful details and cute and colorful characters. We just love them.

  That said, if you can ignore the missions and just find fun in the gameplay, Run Sackboy! Run! offers a tremendously good time for gamers in search of a new endless runner to add to their collection. And if you’re planning on picking up Little Big Planet 3 anyways, here’s a bonus: collect the right stickers in Run Sackboy! Run! and you can unlock some exclusive content for the console game.

  If you're a LittleBigPlanet fan, there's plenty to attract you to Run Sackboy! Run, but it's nothing that's going to end up breaking the mold, unfortunately. It's a little disappointing, but it's serviceable. In the end, you'll probably end up missing the diversity of the regular LittleBigPlanet games.

  The problem is that it's all just so predictable; this is colour-by-numbers game design, riddled with all of the free-to-play clichés that you'd expect from a promotional experience such as this. ...With promising presentation and plenty of content, Run Sackboy! Run! gets off to strong start. Repetitive gameplay and a lack of original ideas drain this enthusiastic athlete of energy, however, and you'll be tired of the free-to-play experience long before you reach the finish line.

  Aside from its strong presentation, Run Sackboy! Run! is 'good enough' in every way, but little more. LittleBigPlanet fans will lap it up, but there are far better options out there for those who are less keen on Sackboy. Like most endless runners, your mileage will vary with Run Sackboy! Run! which, while impressively handsome, is a surprisingly limited example of its genre.
