Sackboy: A Big Adventure Backlog Review - Can’t Quite Answer to Mario

Jason says, "Okay, so it can’t quite answer to Mario. That’s because it falters in the one thing that sets Mario games apart: the sheer feel and responsiveness of movement. But even without that, this game manages to give Sackboy a real workout through fun levels and creative ideas that translate right into its presentational values. It looks good, it runs well, it’s fun, and while it still comes along a bit short overall as a full-priced game, finding it on a sale is a win for platformer lovers. Its typical bad guy story could have used better voice actors, though. All-in-all, it’s still a polished experience, even if Sackboy has a long way to go to ever compete with the master of platformers."

It's solid, and a lot of fun the more players there are.

I smashed through Sackboy with my kids in 4 player and enjoyed my time. I bought my kids Odyssey and none of them cared. Mario Maker gets use but 3D Mario was a waste of my money.

Man this got me remembering the good ol days of lbp1 on the ps3...loved the game.

i dont think that was their goal, to answer to mario.
the sackboy, littlebigplanet games are not even close to being mario-like.
they are very much their own thing

For coop, get a used switch instead

jznrpg468d ago

I own a Switch and have never played co-op on it. I do play Elden Ring , Demons Souls and some other co/op games with my friends on PS5. Baldurs Gate 3 is the next game I’ll play co-op. Can’t do that on a Switch

Cacabunga467d ago

I was thinking for couch casual immediate fun.. not online coop games that require some adaptation.

Speedrunners Are Exploiting Sackboy's Time Trial Competition With Glitches

Sony announced a contest on Sackboy and the winners would win free PS Plus. However, speedrunners went beyond expectations to break records.

SullysCigar668d ago

That's how 99% of the people at the top of the leader boards do it.

Rynxie668d ago

It's cheating and they should be banned from it and any future tournaments.

If you're participating in a marathon and you cut away from the designated route and used a shortcut to get ahead, you're disqualified. The same should apply here.

ChronoJoe668d ago

Eh, glitches are fair game in 90% of the speedrun community, so it's really on the organisers if they want people to avoid that. They're not like, hacking the leaderboard or anything like that, they're just using movement exploits with the games traversal systems.

PunksOnN4G668d ago

its in the rules anyone doing any glitch will be removed and its as simple as that states it in the rules.

ChronoJoe667d ago

The article here says "One thing to note here is that Sony never mentioned the use of glitches, so their use may actually be allowed to some extent.".

PunksOnN4G667d ago
