Ranking Every PS5 Game From Worst To Best (So Far)
7. Sackboy: A Big Adventure
Onto the good stuff.
Pegged as a PS5 launch game that ended up getting a PS4 version, Sumo Digital's take on Sackboy is a nicely tight platformer with oodles of charm as you'd expect, but its levels don't quite match up to the visuals and mechanics available.
Still, the "knitted together" aesthetic has seen Little Big Planet through previous console generations, and everything about Sackboy's solo debut is supremely easy to pick up and enjoy. His moveset is bulked out into uppercuts, rolls and butt-stomps, there are tons of costume parts to hoover up and customise, and up to four players can journey through levels together, occasionally teaming up for specific animations.
Sackboy: A Big Adventure ticks the "console launch platformer for kids" box with laser-focused precision, but older gamers who love the genre and want something a bit meatier to sink our teeth into would have to wait.
