    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.

    Sackboy: 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.
