Play Overview
Sackboy: A Big Adventure (2020) is a running and jumping game. It's a spinoff of the LittleBigPlanet series and follows Sackboy and three friends as they explore, collect and battle their way through a fantasy world. It stands out for the simple exuberant running and jumping challenges you can take on with four players working together.
It offers a fully explorable three-dimensional world. As you progress you follow a story of the dastardly Vex kidnapping Sackboy’s friends. You set off on a whirlwind caper through snowy mountains, dense jungles, dank underwater realms and even dark space colonies.
It's a fun game to play with the family not only because of the four-player mode but also because of the Pixar-like story it tells. On PlayStation 5 it's fast loading and supports the new DualSense controllers' haptic feedback.
