“Another gorgeous looking first party PS5 game, with some fun and imaginative platforming, but even with four players at once it lacks that certain spark that would’ve made it a true launch essential.”

8/10

“Bring your family and friends into your Sackboy: A Big Adventure playthrough and have a blast. Or play by yourself. It doesn’t really matter, as Sumo Digital has once again tapped into the essence of what makes this series so special. It’s innocent, it’s fun, and it feels unique. We need more games like it, even if they don’t push the genre forward…which is by no means a requirement.”

“Sackboy: A Big Adventure is a delightful platformer that mostly does a great job despite coloring inside the lines and staying a bit too easy most of the time.”

33bits	Euyen Esquefa Pons	80 / 100	11-24-2020	Sackboy: A Big Adventure is a great adventure game. With some really charismatic supporting characters, and very varied levels, it is a totally recommended game if we are fans of this type of proposal, rounded off by some excellent graphic and sound sections.	Read review
Atomix	Alberto Desfassiaux	90 / 100	11-14-2020	Sackboy: A Big Adventure is an amazing 3D platforming game. A must have for the PS5.	Read review
Attack of the Fanboy	Diego Perez	4 / 5 stars	11-16-2020	Sackboy: A Big Adventure is dripping with charm and makes excellent use of the DualSense controller.	Read review
AusGamers	KostaAndreadis	7 / 10	11-16-2020	On the topic of shiny stuff, Sackboy: A Big Adventure is beautiful and the added power of the PlayStation 5 hardware has led to the materials found throughout the arts-and-craft world to look and often behave like the real thing. The blend of fantasy with everyday objects gels wonderfully with the soundtrack too, giving the experience a feel that is more than a simple riff on classic 3D platforming.	Read review
BaziCenter	Mohammad Talebian	8 / 10	02-23-2021	Sackboy A Big Adventure goes out if its way to be a Nintendo-like platformer, and almost gets it right if not for a few small but costly mistakes. It's still a very good game, but could have even been better if the developers focused more on their own ideas.	Read review
Cerealkillerz	Gabriel Bogdan	8 / 10	11-16-2020	Sackboy: A Big Adventure is the ideal launch title for kids or local co-op rounds with your kids and friends. Also the Soundtrack and the precise controls are amazing, even if the game often lacks some creativity and the story ended up to be pretty generic.	Read review
CGMagazine	Zubi Khan	7.5 / 10	11-19-2020	At the end of its yarn, Sackboy: A Big Adventure is a fun romp through a craft-inspired world that feels as if it was cut from the same cloth as something like Yoshi’s Crafted World, rather than LittleBigPlanet, however, this is not a bad thing, especially for those looking for a traditional platforming experience. Sackboy: A Big Adventure is a content-rich platformer that can be enjoyed by anyone regardless of age and is a worthy addition to the PlayStation 5 launch line-up.	Read review
Checkpoint Gaming	Tom Quirk	9 / 10	11-22-2020	Nearing the end of an undeniably stressful year, the sheer adorableness and relaxing charm of Sackboy: A Big Adventure is exactly what I needed.	Read review
Chicas Gamers	Sandra Sánchez	Recommended	11-24-2020	Sackboy: A Big Adventure is a platformer game with some little traditional mechanics that will catch all your attention. You can play with children, with friends or familly in some several levels, but if you prefer you can play alone. The plot is simple and enjoyable and the music will accompany Sackboy during the scenaries. You can't miss this videogame!	Read review
COGconnected	Paul Sullivan	80 / 100	11-30-2020	Sackboy: 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.	Read review
Critical Hit	Geoffrey Tim	8.5 / 10	11-24-2020	A delightfully charming platformer, Sackboy:A Big Adventure untethers the knitted knight from the creation-focused LittleBigPlanet and gives him his own grand adventure. In doing so, Sumo Digital has delivered one of the most thoughtful, interesting, and love-laden platformers in recent memory, resulting in a perpetual delight.	Read review
Daily Mirror	JC Suttun	4 / 5 stars	11-18-2020	Sackboy: A Big Adventure isn't a particularly revolutionary platformer, replicating a structure seen many times in the likes of the latter Rayman titles and so on. But what it does, it does with panache and bags of charm that will appeal to kids and the parents who'll end up joining them for co-op. The woolly protagonist's latest outing is something that fans of the franchise	Read review
Daily Star	Tom Hutchison	5 / 5 stars	11-22-2020	Overall, a great start for the PS5 era and a perfect example of a game that doesn’t have to be in-your-face to still dazzle.	Read review
DASHGAMER.com	Dan Rizzo	9 / 10	11-23-2020	Sackboy's presence leading the charge will no doubt attract those who are fond of their favourite PlayStation plush mascot from their childhood. Sackboy: A Big Adventure is an essential for PlayStation 5 owners, and one for PlayStation 4 fans to ring out the generation.	Read review
Destructoid	Chris Carter	8 / 10	11-12-2020	Bring your family and friends into your Sackboy: A Big Adventure playthrough and have a blast. Or play by yourself. It doesn't really matter, as Sumo Digital has once again tapped into the essence of what makes this series so special. It's innocent, it's fun, and it feels unique.

Digital Chumps	Nathaniel Stevens	9 / 10	05-29-2019	Sackboy: A Big Adventure is incredible	Read review
Digitally Downloaded	Matt Sainsbury	3.5 / 5 stars	11-13-2020	I don't want to take anything away from Sackboy: A Big Adventure. Platformers are one of the genres I am least inclined towards, and were it not part of a (fairly limited) launch range on the PlayStation 5, I might not have been inclined to play Sackboy at all. I am glad that I did, though, because for pure whimsy and quality level design it's a real challenge to Nintendo at its best in this genre, and that's no mean feat. Just don't go in expecting the same qualities that made the LittleBigPlanet series itself so beloved.	Read review
DualShockers	David Gill	8.5 / 10	11-19-2020	Sackboy: A Big Adventure is a great platformer filled with charming levels, fun combat, and a lot of challenges to complete.	Read review
Easy Allies	Brad Ellis	4 / 5 stars	11-25-2020	Sackboy: A Big Adventure moves away from providing creation tools, but it's still a jolly platformer filled with all the charm you'd expect from one of his outings. Review Copy Provided by PlayStation	Read review
Echo Boomer	David Fialho	Recommended	11-19-2020	A great solo debut for one of the most adorable PlayStation's mascot with a more tradicional and old-school platformer.	Read review
EGM	Josh Harmon	8 / 10	11-19-2020	Sackboy: A Big Adventure may not have the most memorable hook or world, but it's a strong, generous, and unexpectedly deep platformer bolstered by a wonderful use of music.	Read review
Eurogamer	Vikki Blake	Recommended	11-19-2020	Sumo Digital takes Sackboy for a breezy delight of an adventure.	Read review
Everyeye.it	Giuseppe Arace	7.7 / 10	11-15-2020	Sackboy is a party to which everyone is invited: a colorful and fun platformer, rich in content and with a level of difficulty suitable for a very young audience. It suffers from a rhythm that is not always well balanced, and from a dilation of content that does not allow the adventure to maintain a homogeneous quality standard for its entire duration. Without shining for originality, Sumo Digital's work still offers some decidedly remarkable stylistic flicks, with musical levels and a great deal of customization capable of soaring over the rest of the offer. Ultimately, Sackboy is an outspoken and genuine platformer, "tailor-made" for fans of the genre.	Read review
Explosion Network	Dylan Blight	7.5 / 10	12-03-2020	With vibrant levels, varying objectives and co-op play, this is a must-own PS5 launch title. Hopefully, this is just the beginning for Sumo Digital, and we'll see an even bigger adventure for Sackboy soon.	Read review
Game Informer	Jeff Cork	8 / 10	11-12-2020	Cleverly designed levels offer moderately tough challenges, but generous checkpoints and a genial atmosphere make it easy to keep coming back	Read review
Game Revolution	Jason Faulkner	4 / 5 stars	11-19-2020	Sackboy: A Big Adventure is a competent platformer with tight controls. However, the generic craft theme and lack of memorable characters prevent it from being outstanding. The 3D platforming genre is filled to the brim with classics, and to stand out, a game has to do more than just be playable. There are plenty of costumes to collect and bits and baubles to pick up throughout levels, but Sackboy lacks that hook that’ll keep gamers coming back.	Read review
Gameblog	Thomas Pillon	6 / 10	11-12-2020	Sackboy : A Big Adventure is a beautiful yet very classic platformer. Sumo Digital delivers a decent game mostly made for children : with a repetitive gameplay and a lack of real challenge, it still offers to a younger audience an unharmful and colorful adventure. Too bad the DualSense wasn't used more on PS5.	Read review
GameGrin	Gary Sheppard	9 / 10	02-01-2021	A brilliantly accessible and clever platformer with a top-notch soundtrack. This is a must-have title for any PlayStation owner who likes platformers.	Read review
GameMAG	Unknown	8 / 10	11-28-2020	Sackboy: A Big Adventure is a great family-friendly platformer, that makes good use of DualSense unique properties, but also features some really memorable, dense, and original levels. The only drawbacks here are mandatory blue sphere collection and co-op only worlds that you can't complete solo without any friends or family members.	Read review
GamePro	Linda Sprenger	84 / 100	11-17-2020	Cuddly Jump&Run with fun couch co-op and fantastic music levels. The sacklings do well without an editor!	Read review
Gamerheadquarters	Jason Stettner	8.4 / 10	02-15-2021	Sackboy: A Big Adventure is a great platformer filled with care in each of the little details in the environment, featuring some fun action that’s perfect for all ages.	Read review
GameSkinny	Henry Stockdale	9 / 10	11-24-2020	After a six-year absence, PlayStation's knitted icon returns in stunning form in one of the year's best platformers.	Read review
GameSpew	Richard Seagrave	9 / 10	11-11-2020	Having been in possession of the game for just over 24 hours at the time of writing, we’ve still got a lot to see and do in Sackboy: A Big Adventure – we’ve only reached the second of its worlds so far. At this point though, we can safely say that we’ve thoroughly enjoyed every single minute of it – it’s gone above and beyond our expectations. It appears to be an immaculately made 3D platformer with huge amounts of charm. We’ll follow up with a full review once we’ve put considerably more time into it, but we think it’s safe to say that if you’re picking it up alongside your PS5, you’re going to be in for a very good time.	Read review
GameSpot	Mike Epstein	7 / 10	11-14-2020	Though Sackboy: A Big Adventure's aesthetic is a bit basic, its solid platforming presents a good challenge.	Read review
GamesRadar+	Unknown	5 / 5 stars	11-19-2020	Sackboy is back and better than ever after his PS5 upgrade.	Read review
Gaming Nexus	Eric Hauter	9.5 / 10	11-19-2020	Sackboy: A Big Adventure is an audio-visual feast, a living work of art that continuously delights and amazes players with its bottomless well of creativity. Some pacing issues can't do much to detract from the amazing level design, tight platforming, and astounding soundtrack. Sackboy is a pure delight.	Read review
GamingBolt	John Cantees	8 / 10	11-16-2020	Sackboy: A Big Adventure is a delightful platformer that mostly does a great job despite coloring inside the lines and staying a bit too easy most of the time.	Read review
GamingTrend	Ben Lombardo	85 / 100	11-19-2020	Sackboy is the perfect launch title to initiate young children into the next generation of games, as well as provide a rewarding and enjoyable experience for everyone else. Even though it launches with a hefty price tag, the amount of content this game has to offer more than covers its cost. Plus, you can either play this one with or without friends, and it will undoubtedly entertain all for hours. The mixture of fantastic level design, coupled with a great soundtrack, will reignite that lost feeling of childhood happiness.	Read review
God is a Geek	Chris White	9 / 10	11-19-2020	Sackboy: A Big Adventure features some great platforming across gorgeous levels, with plenty to do and collect along the way. The music is a lovely touch to a rich and fulfilling adventure, and playing with others is the best way to enjoy it.	Read review
GotGame	David Poole	8.5 / 10	12-23-2020	While I didn’t have as great a time with Sackboy: A Big Adventure as I did Astro’s Playroom, this was still a fun time. It’s definitely a much longer platformer, and it offers a lot more challenge as well. It doesn’t take as much advantage of the DualSense controller on PlayStation 5, but this is likely due to the game being available on PlayStation 4 as well. Either way, Sackboy is still a strong platformer for friends and families to play together this holiday season. The levels are diverse, the music is catchy, and the charm is excellent.	Read review
Hardcore Gamer	Kevin Dunsmore	4 / 5 stars	11-12-2020	Sackboy’s legacy was always tied to LittleBigPlanet and its creation tools. Media Molecule no doubt created a PlayStation icon, but he always played second fiddle to the tools. That perception is no more thanks to Sackboy: A Big Adventure. Sumo Digital has successfully excised Sackboy from the creation tools and given him his own platforming game. The game is gushing with character and charm thanks to its wide array of imaginative levels. The transition to 3D platforming has allowed for more precise and varied gameplay, providing a solid level of fun for players of all ages. As a PS5 launch title, the game delivers a colorful and detailed presentation, though it remains no slouch on PS4. The story isn’t anything special and chocked to the brim with cliches, but a solid voice cast combined with great level design will keep you playing the entire length. While playable solo, Sackboy is best when played co-op, and unfortunately at launch, co-op options are limited. As a complete experience, though, Sackboy: A Big Adventure is a fun platforming adventure that’ll leave you with a smile on your face.	Read review
Hobby Consolas	David Martinez	78 / 100	11-12-2020	Sackboy is a fun adventure for everyone, easy to play and difficult to master, and it also works as a demonstration of some Dualsense capabilities, but we miss the creative side of Little Big Planet and more unique mechanics (such as the musical levels).	Read review
IGN	Tom Marks	8 / 10	11-24-2020	Sackboy: A Big Adventure is a charming LittleBigPlanet spin-off that trades its creation tools in for a more straightforward Mario structure.	Read review
IGN Italy	Giovanni Marrelli	8 / 10	11-19-2020	Sumo Digital's new game is a colorful and fun adventure that brings back Sackboy, allowing players to explore new worlds, each based on different themes and gameplay mechanics. A great game for Christmas to spend some time along with your family, thanks to the 4-player co-op mode.	Read review
Impulsegamer	Nathan Misa	4 / 5 stars	11-26-2020	An inventive and engaging platforming experience that especially shines in co-op multiplayer	Read review
INDIANTVCZ	Petr Duppal	8 / 10	11-27-2020	Sackboy has never been cuter, and in short, thanks to the added full-fledged story, you see him as the little hero who can do impossible things. The game takes a recommendation of 8 points and is another great family exclusive game, which we simply missed on PlayStation.	Read review
JVL	Malcolm89	7 / 10	11-18-2020	Keeping the cute side that made the success of his first albums, Sackboy: A Big Adventure finally meets the expectations of those looking for a nice little game to spend time with their offspring. But players accustomed to the sure values of the genre will regret the lack of challenge and memorable passages that remain in the lead several hours after a game. It is to be hoped for the future of the franchise that it will stop relying on the recipes of the success of its past to innovate as it had done in the era of PlayStation 3.	Read review
KeenGamer	Adam Conner	8.5 / 10	11-27-2020	I'm very happy to see Sackboy back in action with Sackboy: A Big Adventure, and what better way than a PS5 launch title that plenty of gamers will play. Few modern PlayStation mascots hold a candle to this loveable ball of yarn. On their second attempt, did Sumo Digital succeed in creating a great exclusive?	Read review
Kotaku	Mike Fahey	Recommended	11-17-2020	For those with cleaner children than mine, Sackboy: A Big Adventure is exactly the sort of non-threatening video game that’s perfect for family game night. It’s charming, with a kid-friendly story and forgiving gameplay that won’t result in ugly tears. It might even inspire someone to one day work at a Michael’s or Joanne’s.	Read review
LevelUp	Pedro Pérez Cesari	7.5 / 10	11-24-2020	A fun and well designed platformer that lacks the charm to make a long standing impact. You should try it if you want a good and family friendly game for PlayStation.	Read review
M3	Raphael Cano Felix	6 / 10	11-19-2020	Sackboy: A Big Adventure scraps creation mode from the main series to focus wholeheartedly on platform hopping. Some courses such as the rhythm-based are brilliant, but despite the improved control, the vast majority are too light and slow for the experienced player. And in addition to the Dual Sense features, there are also no real "next gen" details that stand out.	Read review
Metro GameCentral	GameCentral	7 / 10	11-13-2020	Another gorgeous looking first party PS5 game, with some fun and imaginative platforming, but even with four players at once it lacks that certain spark that would've made it a true launch essential.	Read review
New Game Network	Alex Varankou	73 / 100	11-28-2020	Sackboy: A Big Adventure is an enjoyable platforming game that feels like familiar territory. It's a solid launch title, and will satisfy fans of the genre and the LittleBigPlanet franchise, but it doesn't do a whole lot to showcase the PS5.	Read review
NoesPaisparaFrikis	Jamie Snow	7.5 / 10	12-03-2020	Sackboy: A Big Adventure is the best Digital Sumo game a server has ever tried.	Read review
PlayStation LifeStyle	Chandler Wood	9.5 / 10	11-23-2020	In terms of PS5 launch titles, Sackboy: A Big Adventure didn’t make headlines as a highly anticipated game, but it manages to be one of the most charming and fun PS5 games so far. Its heart was an unexpected delight, with a level of detail and polish that made it an absolute joy to play. Snipped free of the level creation side of LBP, Sackboy manages to swingamajig his way to platforming heights that the character never has before, in more detail than ever on PS5.	Read review
PlayStation Universe	John-Paul Jones	9.5 / 10	11-13-2020	An astounding triumph of imagination, Sackboy: A Big Adventure isn't just one of the best platformers ever made, it's also a proper highlight of the PlayStation 5 launch line-up that is steeped in such fun and free wheeling creativity, that it deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as other PlayStation platforming heroes such as Jak & Daxter and Ratchet & Clank.	Read review
PowerUp!	Adam Mathew	8 / 10	11-11-2020	Sackboy delivers some damn good jumpy-jumpy material.	Read review
Press Start	Kieron Verbrugge	8 / 10	11-13-2020	Sackboy: A Big Adventure is the hessian hero's best outing yet. Tighter platforming controls and a fresh perspective go a long way to reinvigorating the franchise, and it helps that the whole thing is positively stuffed with charm from beginning to end. Levels that feel lonely when played solo, and worse, levels that aren't accessible at all in single player dampen the experience, but not enough for platforming fans to dismiss it. If you've just brought home a shiny new PlayStation 5 there's also a lot here to showcase what the console is capable of in both visuals and the user experience, making it well worth considering as part of your launch library. Viva la Sackboy!	Read review
PSX Brasil	Ivan Nikolai Barkow Castilho	85 / 100	12-02-2020	Sackboy: A Big Adventure is a great and fun platform game, especially if you play it with friends. Alone, the fun is still there, but less present. The lack of a run button is also quite noticeable in this case.	Read review
Push Square	Sammy Barker	8 / 10	11-15-2020	There's a lot of love been poured into Sackboy: A Big Adventure, and thus it's hard not to love it back. This is a brilliant platformer with tons of imaginative ideas and a strong sense of style. The lack of online multiplayer at launch is a bit disappointing, but it's coming as a free update before the end of the year, so we can forgive the developer that. If you're looking for something bright and breezy to begin your PS5 journey, then this is a near-flawless romp when it's at its pomp.	Read review
Rocket Chainsaw	David Latham	4 / 5 stars	11-18-2020	Sackboy: A Big Adventure is the go-to game for couch co-op with family at the PS5’s launch, and can be played by children as young as four (we had fun!).	Read review
Saudi Gamer	Unknown	8 / 10	11-29-2020	Delightful launch title especially as a co-op and family friendly game. Fun & engaging platforming experience with variety of levels, high replay value & decent challenge.	Read review
Screen Rant	Sky Flores	4 / 5 stars	11-18-2020	A great new spin on Sackboy's charm.	Read review
SECTOR.sk	Matúš Štrba	7 / 10	11-19-2020	Nice 3D platformer with great visuals and some boring levels as well.	Read review
Shacknews	Chris Jarrard	7 / 10	11-18-2020	Sumo Digital has done a wonderful job bringing the visual aesthetic of the LittleBigPlanet franchise into a 3D platforming world. The levels are a delight to look at and shine brightly when paired with a top-shelf display. The various outfits and visual customizations that can be sewn onto Sackboy also look fantastic. I ended up using a Yak outfit I bought early in the game for the rest of my playthrough as I simply couldn’t get enough of how delightfully stupid it looked. When it comes to gameplay and story, it is fair to say that we’ve seen it all before, and usually done better. The main appeal here is to rehash old material with a 4K, leather-and-corduroy-upholstered refresh. If that sounds like a good time, Sackboy is sure to please, but it will leave other PS5 owners wondering when next-gen will actually show up. 7/10 yak outfits	Read review
Sirus Gaming	Jem Sagcal	8 / 10	11-19-2020	While definitely the annoying types of glitches, it takes away only little to what we can still find enjoyable as we progress. It can either be our competitive spirit or our ambition to fully complete the game that drives us from it’s faults — but it can also be the type of errors that can take away a player’s own likeability with the game if it continues.	Read review
SomHráč.sk	Martin Kubeš	80 / 100	12-03-2020	Sackboy: A Big Adventure has flew a bit under the radar, but it definitely deserves your attention. From the PlayStation 5 launch line-up, it's definitely among the biggest surprises.	Read review
SpazioGames	Stefania Sperandio	8.1 / 10	11-11-2020	Sackboy is a smart and colorful platform game, filled with fun moments and loyal to its LittleBigPlanet's roots.	Read review
The Games Machine	Stefano Calzati	8 / 10	11-16-2020	Sackboy: A Great Adventure is perhaps the real surprise of the PS5 debut. A solid platformer as expected from Sumo, which knows where to draw inspiration from and how to reinvent it, as if they were true game design restorers. Simple and very smooth from start to finish, but a good challenge to bring to full completion, with all its collectibles and challenges that enhance a level design that is not at all trivial and that always strives to do something different to make each stage a unique gaming experience.	Read review
TheSixthAxis	Stefan L	7 / 10	11-11-2020	Sackboy: A Big Adventure starts off slow, feeling like a hollow reflection of the franchise, but eventually grows into its new 3D platforming elements. It's at its best when it blends the new with the old, when there's power-ups, side-scrolling and a meaningful challenge, but it takes a bit too long to get it together.	Read review
ThisGenGaming	Justin Oneil	9 / 10	11-23-2020	Sackboy: A Big Adventure is an excellently designed 3D platformer that is full of fun, imagination, and charm. It’s the perfect game to pick up with your PlayStation 5 to give the whole family a reason to crowd around the next generation console. While the lack of online multiplayer at launch is disappointing this game still has plenty of content to play through while we wait for that patch. The imaginative level design, beautiful visuals, and surprisingly good soundtrack will have you and the family smiling from ear to ear until the end.	Read review
Too Much Gaming	Carlos Hernandez	9 / 10	12-23-2020	We know how crazy 2020 has been, but out of all the games I've played this year, Sackboy: A Big Adventure was the one I didn’t know I needed. It’s a fantastic platformer that appeals to players of all ages. You may feel uplifted, or encouraged, even. The game doesn’t reinvent the wheel for its genre, but the impressive execution, clever ideas, and extra effort behind this platformer proves that the world of Sackboy is a fun place to visit, and that the polish done to every aspect of the game makes it a must-buy for any enthusiast that owns a PS4 and PS5.	Read review
TrueGaming	نواف النغموش	8 / 10	11-17-2020	Sackboy: A Big Adventure is a very beautiful game that keeps offering new ideas through its strong levels, and it makes a good use of the DualSense too. If you like platformers, there is a high chance you will fall in love with this adventure.	Read review
Unboxholics	Σάκης Καρπάς	Recommended	11-27-2020	Sackboy: A Big Adventure, although it initially didn't wink at me, ultimately disproved me in the most humiliating way. Sumo Digital's platformer brought back memories of the original LittleBigPlanet and overall delivers a very fun and enjoyable 10 hours, which you can experience together with three other friends.

VG247	Tom Orry	Recommended	11-12-2020	Sony is on a roll with the PS5, with Sackboy: A Big Adventure being yet another title PS5 buyers should seriously consider adding to their collection.	Read review
VGChartz	Issa Maki	7 / 10	12-03-2020	Sackboy turns in a solid performance, but treads over ground that has clearly been walked on by others.	Read review
Video Chums	A.J. Maciejewski	9.3 / 10	11-12-2020	Sackboy: A Big Adventure accomplishes what few modern games do by simply offering an unabashedly lighthearted world that's bursting with joy, fun, and plenty of laughs. It's an absolute must-have for any gamer who enjoys co-op experiences.	Read review
Video Games Chronicle	Jordan Oloman	4 / 5 stars	11-16-2020	Sackboy doesn’t have the tight movement tech of Crash Bandicoot 4 or the butter-melting charms of a game like Astro’s Playroom, but it’s well worth a look if you’re in the market for an innovative platformer that makes the most of the PS5’s exclusive features.	Read review
VideoGamer	Josh Wise	8 / 10	11-30-2020	Where Sackboy: A big Adventure proves most winsome isn't in its play but in the surfeit of its surrounding glitter.	Read review
WayTooManyGames	Leonardo Faria	8 / 10	11-13-2020	Sackboy isn’t as big or complex as other Sony exclusives, and that’s great. After playing countless of serious and mature titles, a smaller, less serious, and more family friendly platformer is exactly what I wanted from them.

Wccftech	Kai Powell	8.6 / 10	01-06-2021	Sackboy'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	Read review
WellPlayed	Dylan Blereau	8.5 / 10	11-17-2020	Sackboy: A Big Adventure is a thoroughly entertaining 3D platformer that is a joy to see, hear and play	Read review
ZTGD	Ken McKown	7.5 / 10	12-01-2020	Sackboy: A Big Adventure is a charming game that I was smiling while playing almost entirely. It will likely get lost amonth after the Spider-Man and Astro Bot mainstays, but this game is more than worth checking out. Especially for those looking for something to play with their family and friends. It is a whimsical adventure that finally makes me enjoy a game featuring Sackboy, and that is a win in and of itself.
