Stunning presentation aside, the platforming mechanics remain absolutely solid, and the transition from 2D to 3D is rather painless. The campaign runs at the right length with the right level of difficulty, and unlike past series entries, the multiplayer feels good instead of chaotic.
Cody Medellin · Nov 30, 2022 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewSackboy: A Big Adventure runs at 60fps with very good visuals on Steam Deck. It lacks the amazing DualSense haptics, but is a perfectly fine way to experience Sumo Digital’s lovely platformer on the go.
Mikhail Madnani · Nov 09, 2022 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewThe game has been patched since release, and eventually, I found settings that let me play at a locked 60fps, but the game’s occasional stuttering issue will remain, and on the Steam Deck, all video files fail to load like the logo splash screen, leading to some very amusing, but very broken, cutscenes and menus.
Lex Luddy · Nov 08, 2022 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewSackboy: A Big Adventure isn’t at its best on PC, with consistent stuttering and not many graphical options, but it’s still a fun experience you can play with just about anyone.
David Flynn · Nov 02, 2022 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewSackboy: A Big Adventure, while downright gorgeous and playful, doesn’t really offer anything when it comes to even remotely challenging gameplay. In that aspect, and many others, it feels like a game made distinctly for children.
Shunal Doke · Nov 01, 2022 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewSackboy's first foray outside of the Media Moleculeverse without an editor to guide his way is not only a fantastic 3D platformer for all ages but also one of the best PlayStation 5 launch titles for younger audiences
Kai Powell · Jan 06, 2021 Reviewed on PS5Read full reviewAt its core, Sackboy: A Big Adventure is a well-polished 3d platformer that has a lot of style and a very unique charm. It has pushed Sackboy even further into the realm of respected video game characters. The creativity we see in the level design may not have made its way to the puzzles but this does not stop this game being a great game to play on your shiny new PlayStation 5.
Dan Hastings · Dec 09, 2020 Reviewed on PS5Read full reviewSackboy: A Big Adventure is one of the first titles on the PS5 and it certainly is a fun one to start with. The change from 2.5D to 3D might feel a bit strange at the start but it’ll grow on your faster than you think. The graphics are great, even for PS4, while the sounds will take the game to the next level. Gameplay-wise there are some new things to consider with the 3D world, but everything goes and runs smoothly. Don’t think it’ll always be a walk through the park though, as some parts get trickier, giving you a challenge now and then.
AnneMieke · Dec 04, 2020 Reviewed onRead full reviewOne reaction to seeing Sackboy dressed up as a yak—complete with plush horns, fur, and a flapping tongue—and pouncing his way through a level lined with spikes while Let’s Dance, by David Bowie, blasts forth would be to say, “It’s possible that I’m being manipulated here.” Another reaction would be to enjoy yourself.
Josh Wise · Nov 30, 2020 Reviewed onRead full reviewSackboy: A Big Adventure represents a nearly forgotten genre of game, and represents it in fine fashion. Competent if not revolutionary platforming propels Sackboy through a stunning world full of fun set pieces and clever writing, while an approachable challenge level opens the experience to all skill levels. It’s about having fun, and Sackboy’s first full adventure absolutely succeeds.
