4/5 ★ – BigEvil's review of Sackboy: A Big Adventure.
When I finished Astro Bot our toddler wanted more of it, but since I was already done I tried to think of something else for her to watch. I recalled that there is an Astro costume in Sackboy so I told her it was the “robot game” and off we went.
Coming to this from Astro is a rough transition. Sackboy is slow and his jump feels like garbage. But, there are some clever levels in here and the Sackboy/LBP aesthetic is as charming as ever.
I had to ignore most of the collectibles and bonus areas because I largely played with a toddler in my lap. That meant constant pausing and don’t-touch-that-ing, but we had a good time. Shame that once again Sackboy wasn’t popular enough to spawn sequels. Another one of these could’ve been great.
