The problem is the PC isn’t the place to do it. Playing Sackboy: A Big Adventure two years after its release on PlayStation 5 felt like discovering a future cult classic everyone ignored on release. Moreover, the game’s movement – which at first may seem somewhat slow and shallow - has a surprising amount of depth and nuance, making the Knitted Knight Challenges enjoyable playgrounds to test your skills. Levels move and change as you play them - especially in the back half of the game where the game’s villain takes control of platforming challenges as you play to try to trip you up.

Boss fights have unique twists and aren’t simply three-hit-and-done encounters, instead having some extended sequences that require you to use the skills you’ve learned throughout the world. Sackboy operates with a level of freedom to experiment you don’t see with other established platformers. It’s a joy to see games like these incorporate remixes of licenced bangers like Britney Spears’ Toxic or Madness’ House of Fun for one-off themed levels. The game’s sound design and music is a modern counterpoint to traditional Nintendo soundtracks. The game introduces new mechanics at a perfect clip and puts fresh spins on them as soon as they start to become a little stale.

Like Nintendo’s flagship plummer, Sackboy is full of verve and joy at every turn.

When people theorise what a Mario game with the power of a modern console would look like, Sackboy should be the prime example. It’s a shame because this game is an overlooked gem releasing alongside Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Demon’s Souls’ remake, this seemingly straightforward platformer was always going to be viewed as nothing more than launch day padding. That’s reflective of a lot of the feel of this port, and as a result, it has been struggling on PC unlike any other Sony game released on the platform.
