![]() ![]() In the musical levels, various environment pieces pop in rhythm with the beat. The use of songs in some levels are also paired with visual splendour. The LittleBig Planet series have always had licensed music before, but something about the choice of music (a lot of them are very mainstream) and how it’s tied to the levels in Sackboy makes it a world of a difference. Some as clever remixes, others are straight-up that song you’ve heard on the radio. Already on the first level, the soundtrack gave me goosebumps, it has this world music vibe to it.Īnd then I discovered levels that use licensed music. Each level has a unique song, each of them dynamically ramps up or down as you progress. You know the cliche upbeat songs you hear in trailers? Somehow, Sackboy makes those kinds of songs work in context with of the game. But other than that, it is still a gorgeous looking game, even on a PS4.īut the star of the show, unexpectedly, is the music. You can spot some slow-loading textures, the graphics might get blurry at times and there’s horrendous clothing clipping. You would have seen this vibe in many other Nintendo platformers recently, but it’s good to see one on a PlayStation as well.Įven on PS4 Sackboy runs at 60fps, and is graphically competent. The world is all based on cardboard, fabrics and other real-life junk brought to life by a whimsical cast of characters. Sackboy: A Big Adventure has a lot of charm, as you’d expect. Sumo Digital (specifically Sumo Sheffield) has crafted a platforming delight. And being a PS5 launch game that’s also on PS4 (which is the review is based on), I expected this to be just another game to fit the launch quota. The little bundle of joy finally has a 3D platforming game he deserves. A proper one, one without the focus on content creation.Īnd that’s why we have Sackboy: A Big Adventure. Now that Media Molecule has now gone all-out with making games that can make games, what’s going on with LittleBig Planet? It had two sequels and a kart racer spin-off, and Sackboy is a great mascot for a platforming game.
