Sackboy: A Big Adventure (PS5)
A cute, fun, and at times surprisingly challenging 3D platformer a la Super Mario 3D World. The levels were very well-made, the music was catchy (I especially enjoyed the levels set to actual popular songs), there were extras worth seeking out (although I did give up on a few of the Knitted Knight challenges... that 8th one I was never ever gonna beat), the villain was very entertaining and most of the other side characters were worth a chuckle as well, and I really loved Sackboy's facial expressions in the cutscenes even though he never spoke. I also like how they never really abandoned ideas. To my recollection, nothing was introduced just to be in one level and then never revisited. A couple of negatives - I wish they had done more with the aforementioned songs set to pop songs, like actually have you platform to the beat instead of just having enemies and a few stage elements move to them. I never really cared too much about changing costumes; I guess none of them really appealed to me. Plus the costume seller was the most annoying character in the game. And some of the level objectives weren't very clear. I still don't know what the spade was one each level. Other than those few minor gripes, I really enjoyed this and might go back to collect some more of the stuff I missed. I'd never played a game in the LPB series before, but now I'm inclined to dive deeper. As the PS5's launch platformer, this was a pretty solid effort.
