Alright, so here we go. It’s like this weird mix of gaming nostalgia and modern-day shopping frenzy, right? So, picture this: you’re cruising through the PlayStation Store, probably not even looking for anything serious, and boom—bargains galore. I mean, they’ve got PS4 and PS5 games priced so low you’d think they’re practically giving them away. And then, there it is, staring right back at you: Sackboy. Yeah, remember the little knitted guy?
So, “Sackboy: A Big Adventure” is sitting there, slashed a whopping 67% down. Doing the math, that swings it from $59.99 to just $19.79. Like, what? People who love a good platformer should probably stop whatever they’re doing and check this out asap. The catch? Well, it’s a limited-time thing—deal expires July 3 at 2:59 a.m. ET. Gotta love those oddball digital clock deadlines that make you think, “Who sets these times anyway?”
Anyway, or maybe not anyway—where was I? Oh right, the game’s got this quirky description, talks about “face thrilling, unpredictable challenges” and all that jazz. Seems like it’s got everything—a solo race against the clock or some chaotic team action with up to four players. You’re running around trying to save Craftworld from some Vex dude and his Topsy Turver thingy. No idea who comes up with these names, but props to them.
Then there’s the whole review thing. Launched in 2020, and critics were pretty kind. Metacritic has it averaging 79 from 79 critics. A neat symmetry there, huh? Our own review—if you trust it—gave it a perfect 10 out of 10. Yeah, seems hardcore, but they found this unexpected charm in it and all that fine-tuning just stole their hearts. Said something about “swingamajig” which, honestly, I kinda love.
Oh, and don’t forget the costumes. Freebies alert! They’re super cute and cost zero dollars. What’s better than free? No idea why I care so much about digital costumes, but it stuck with me.
So, that’s pretty much the scoop. Just a heads-up: jump on this deal while it lasts. Or don’t. It’s your call.
