Man, so I was scrolling through the PlayStation Store, and — you know how it goes — I stumble upon this absurd sale. Seriously, it’s like Christmas arrived early, but in June? Anyway, focus. So, there’s this crazy 67% off deal on “Sackboy: A Big Adventure.” You know, the one that dropped right when the PS5 was all the rage back in 2020? Yeah, that one.
Okay, here’s the lowdown: Sackboy’s just chilling at a cool $19.79. Usually, it’s sitting at $59.99, so this is a steal, right? But heads up — this deal’s got a ticking clock. It’s wrapping up by July 3, 2:59 a.m. ET. Not sure about you, but I’m setting a reminder because I don’t want to miss this one — who knows when it’ll hit my budget like this again?
The game’s blurb was all like: dive into these nutty, unpredictable worlds that look and feel handcrafted — whatever that means! You get to take on these wild missions solo, or round up a gang of two to four buds for some wacky team shenanigans. Can you imagine the chaos? You’re basically this hero saving Craftworld from Vex and his, uh, Topsy Turver gizmo. Craftworld? Sounds like my kind of weird.
When it first showed up in 2020, the reviews weren’t too shabby! If you trust Metacritic — and who doesn’t stalk that site a bit? — it snagged a nice score of 79 from 79 reviews. Kinda satisfying symmetry there, don’t you think? Now, our personal take was gushing, like, full-on 10 out of 10. Go figure!
The game’s described as a delightful surprise with this insane level of detail. It’s like they got rid of all the extra fluff from LittleBigPlanet, and boom, Sackboy’s out there hitting platforming zeniths. Not a bad time to be a PS5 owner, I guess.
Oh, and — how could I almost forget? — if you snag Sackboy, definitely grab those costumes available on the PS Store. They’re stupidly cute and, get this, completely free. A.k.a. no-brainer. So, yeah, that’s my little PSA. Grab it, slap on a cute costume, and save a pretend world. Classic.
