Alright, so here’s the thing about the PlayStation Store—it’s like this treasure chest of PS4 and PS5 games, sometimes at prices that make you wonder if they mixed up the tags or something. And in this motley crew, there’s this Sony game that hit the scene with the PS5 in 2020. Yep, feels like ages ago!
But let’s talk about Sackboy: A Big Adventure, cause it’s having a wild discount moment—67% off, people. Means you snag it for a cool $19.79 instead of the usual $59.99, which frankly always felt like a bit too much. But hey, I’m not here to judge, just to point out deals. Anyway, get crackin’—offer’s up until July 3rd, 2:59 a.m. ET. What an odd time, right? Who wakes up and thinks, “I know, I’ll set a deadline at 2:59 a.m.”? But I digress.
Now, Sackboy… It’s all about these crafted worlds and controls that are supposed to immerse you into the game. Or so the description says. Maybe you’re diving solo into this race against time, dodging bizarre obstacles like it’s nobody’s business. Or maybe you rope in a couple of friends and turn it into a weird little party where you’re all just trying to not embarrass yourselves. It’s got everything—saving Craftworld, battling this way-too-ominous guy Vex, and becoming the Knitted Knight. Whatever that means.
Back in 2020, critics on Metacritic gave it a pretty decent thumbs up with a 79. Solid B, honestly. Our review? Full marks, a whole 10 out of 10. Not sure if we were in an overly generous mood or what, but we gushed about its charm and attention to detail. Apparently, the lack of level creation from earlier games was a good thing—Sackboy got to do his platforming thing better than ever. On the PS5, it sounds extra fancy.
Oh, and about those costumes—they’re part of the fun. Don’t skip on them; they’re adorable and free, so no harm in loading up on that cuteness.
There you have it. A kind of scattered rundown of a game deal that might just be worth your time. Or not. Who knows these days?
