Sackboy: A Big Adventure – Lucky’s Tale 2
Both Sony and Microsoft are desperately after something that Nintendo already has. An iconic character that dominates the platforming scene and offers up timeless iterations every few years. In the past, both Sony and Microsoft’s attempts have failed to get anywhere close to the quality on show in the titular plumber’s titles, but that could all be set to change.
While Sackboy hasn’t been given his own separate adventure yet, only being the protagonist in the LittleBigPlanet series, we already know exactly what the team at Media Molecule are capable of. A more steamlined 3D platforming experience — without all the creative offerings of the LBP series — may be able to get closer to emulating what Mario and co are doing over on the Switch and 3DS.
Microsoft, on the other hand, have only just started delving into the platforming scene with Lucky’s Tale. While its first release received a mixed reception, we imagine Microsoft will be eager to cement Lucky’s place in their line-up as a kid-friendly, enjoyable platforming experience for when all the Locust and Covenant killing in Gears and Halo gets too much.
