Sackboy: A Big Adventure

Jump through a bright DIY world with up to 4 cuddly characters made of yarn.

The world in “Sackboy: A Big Adventure” is made of fabric, cardboard, and other colorful craft supplies. However, the friendly mood is dampened when villain Vex threatens the blossoming fantasy. Naturally, it’s your job to go into battle as a savior made of yarn! "Sackboy: A Big Adventure" is a 3D platformer where you jump through colorful worlds, collect objects and challenge villain Vex in occasional boss fights.

Matching the visuals, the levels are designed with a lot of creativity—there are always new, interesting interactions. Sometimes you run up walls, sometimes you throw a boomerang, and sometimes you swing through the area with a grappling hook. The linear campaign can be played alone or with up to four people. The coop mode is not a mere extra; it is well integrated into the individual levels, for example through the generous distribution of collectable objects.

“Sackboy: A Big Adventure” is an extremely fun coop adventure with friendly visuals and outstanding use of music. The movement doesn’t feel quite as elegant as in comparable titles from the “Super Mario” universe, but overall “Sackboy: A Big Adventure” is a great 3D platformer for PlayStation.

Why you should play it:

• Lovingly designed worlds, creative challenges, and great use of music.
• The campaign is designed for coop and your friends can join/leave at any time.
