Read the verdict and alternativesOur take
A PS5 platformer with room for a second player
Sackboy: A Big Adventure supports local cooperative play, making it a useful alternative to a game where siblings mainly take turns watching one player. Shared play still asks people to coordinate movement and agree on the pace. Start with completing a course together before making collectibles the priority. This listing is the PS5 physical base game, so the household needs a disc-capable PS5; the ESRB rating is E. Our editorial age range reflects controller and platforming demands, not a replacement for checking the rating descriptors.
- Best fit
- The household wants local platforming together on a disc-capable PS5.
- Skip it if
- The console has no compatible disc drive, or the child mainly wants open-ended building.
Consider these alternatives
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga — PS5 →
A Star Wars household seeking two-player exploration, and check extras separately rather than assuming the standard box includes them.
Minecraft — PS5 →
Open-ended building, with an adult setting the boundaries for online interaction and Marketplace spending rather than treating every mode as equivalent.
A closer look at the trade-offs
The trade-off
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga offers local co-op with a licensed adventure theme and an E10+ rating. Minecraft on PS5 offers a different building and exploration format, also E10+. Choose Sackboy when moving through designed platforming levels together is the main appeal, rather than buying only because all three run on PS5.
Living with it & the first play session
After the wrapping comes off
Additional local players need compatible controllers. Optional online play has separate account and membership requirements; check those before choosing a remote-play gift.
Choose an early level and agree to wait for each other before pursuing every collectible.
