Sackboy: A Big Adventure- Videogames As Art
I'm a bit of a platforming fan. Nintendo has been a huge part of this as its creativity and uniqueness in creating wonderful gaming experiences that you can play with your family has been pretty much unchallenged for years; Super Mario 3D World, Yoshi's Crafted World and Kirby's Epic Yarn are all great fun. The sheer creativity and wealth of ideas on show has been crazy.
In the past few years, there have been a few challengers to the throne. Rayman Origins, A Hat in Time and now, I’d like to add Sackboy: A Big Adventure. The game is bursting with personality but the soundtrack is what really sets this game apart. As well as unique tracks there are bangers like Britney’s Toxic, Bowie’s Let’s Dance and Bruno Mars’ Uptown Funk. The gameplay is usually reactive to the soundtrack and it just really pulls you in and helps the gameplay flow very well. Check out screenshots of my playthrough.
