Sackboy: A Big Adventure Review | ‘Competence doesn’t equal a classic’

By Jason Faulkner

It seems like a rule that every console needs a platformer as a launch title, and the PS5 has Sackboy: A Big Adventure. For this game, Sackboy moves up to 3D, and the world is pre-created.

  • Controls are tight and Sackboy has a wide variety of movement.
  • Level design is varied.
  • Plenty of collectibles.
  • Generic character and environmental design lack the spark to be memorable.
