Sackboy: A Big Adventure is discounted to just $20 during PlayStation's Back to School sale. Both the PS4 and PS5 versions are up for grabs at this price, but it's worth noting the PS4 version comes with a free PS5 upgrade. Amazon is currently sold out, but you can still get this deal at other major retailers, including Best Buy. Meanwhile, Amazon has the adorable special edition that comes with a plushie for $50, down from $90. The family-friendly platformer is best played cooperatively, and it just so happens that DualSense controllers are discounted to $49 during the sale, too. And you can even get the PS5 for $50 off right now.
Sackboy: A Big Adventure released in 2020 and has been discounted cyclically throughout the past couple of years, but $20 ties the best price yet for the Little Big Planet spin-off that plays a lot like Super Mario 3D World.
In GameSpot's Sackboy: A Big Adventure review, critic Mike Epstein praised it for solid platform mechanics and strong visual qualities on the PS5. «Sackboy is a solid platformer and, despite its rote art style, makes great use of the PS5's enhanced visual and technical performance. It's a fun little romp of a platformer, with lots of interesting moments,» Epstein said. «At times, the visual design can look a bit flat. Even in those moments, though, the tight controls and interesting level layouts create gameplay challenges that make those flaws easy to overlook.»
