Wow, so picture this: I’m scrolling through the PlayStation Store, kinda aimlessly if I’m honest (we’ve all been there, right?), and—bam! I land on this whopper of a deal. It’s like, why am I not seeing this sooner? “Sackboy: A Big Adventure” is marked down like crazy, 67% off! That’s practically a steal at $19.79 instead of the usual, wallet-crying $59.99. Right? Mark your calendar though, because this sweet deal is off the table come July 3 at 2:59 a.m. ET. Don’t ask me why that time specifically, it’s like they think we’re all night owls or something.
So anyway—no, back to what I was saying—Sackboy is this game where you end up in all these crazy, patched-up lands. Oddly enough, the whole thing’s got you either racing the clock solo (trust me, not as chill as it sounds—who knew time could be an adversary?) or teaming up with buddies. Imagine an epic battle against a villain named Vex… sounds like something out of a dream, right? Or maybe a nightmare, who knows.
When this little adventure nugget launched in 2020, people generally nodded approvingly. A quick check on Metacritic shows an average score of 79 from 79 reviews. Just a neat numerical coincidence that I couldn’t ignore, ha! Our team over at review central gave it a flashy 10 out of 10. The consensus? It’s packed with heart and polish—honestly, a joy to button-mash through. It even lets Sackboy ditch the whole level creation spiel for some next-level platforming. Who knew a sack could swing so majestically?
Oh, and here’s a random tidbit you might appreciate: snag some costumes! They’re adorably quirky and—get this—they’re free. Because who doesn’t love free stuff? I mean seriously, it’s like window shopping but better. Wear those silly suits like a badge of honor. Go forth and save Craftworld, or at least look cute trying.
