What is praised, what is criticized?

Overall, Sackboy liked the international critical media. We have summarized here the strengths and weaknesses for you.

This is good:

• unique and chic look (especially on PS5)
• excellent design
• successful co-op
• DualSense functionality integrated sensibly
• puts a smile on your face

Destructoid’s Chris Carter writes:

“It’s innocent, it’s fun, and it looks unique. We need more games like this, even if they don’t advance the genre … that’s not a requirement either.”

This is bad:

• too pleasant start
• could have used more creativity
• undemanding (for a young target group)

Additionally, it becomes clear in testing that Sackboy offers significant added value over the PS4 version due to the PS5’s power and controller features.
