Story
★★★★★
"Solid"
A universe made of fabric, cardboard and tinkered objects: everything evokes a sewing workshop turned playground, of irresistible tactility. The handmade charm of the settings and the roundness of Sackboy overflow with tenderness. This art direction, warm and inventive, makes the game a visual object apart.
Eclectic and warm, the soundtrack blends jazz, world, electro and licensed tracks in a joyful patchwork of irresistible whimsy. Each world has its own sonic colour, underlining the handmade, good-natured spirit of the game. This musical generosity, creative and sunny, instantly lifts the mood.
Gameplay
"Excellent"
Fun
"From the very first seconds"
An adorable platformer where you play a little rag character, but above all an infinite creation workshop: building your own levels and sharing them opens a limitless horizon. The pleasure springs as much from playing as from imagination. Charming, clever and overflowing with creativity, a unique experience that turns every player into a designer, to savour solo or with others.
Addictiveness
"Obsessive"
Crossing levels brimming with ideas, then switching into a workshop that lets you create anything opens an endless loop between playing, tinkering and sharing. Each community find renews the curiosity and the urge to try your own. The sometimes-floaty controls grate, but the creative generosity and the flood of fresh levels keep a near-inexhaustible freshness.
Difficulty
"Balanced"
Lifespan
"Massive"
This GOTY edition fleshes out the original with memorable themed packs, from Metal Gear Solid to Ico and Shadow of the Colossus. Beyond the story mode and the bottomless editor opening onto endless community creations, these bonus costumes and levels reignite collecting and customisation. A version built to linger over, to create and to share for a long time.
A Game of the Year re-release of LittleBigPlanet enriched with extra content and award-winning levels, become the fullest version of Media Molecule's first entry. Its appeal lies in this status as the most complete edition, favored by fans after the finished form, with no marked scarcity, its Western run staying wide. An affordable and preferable piece for Sackboy collectors.
Better with friends
A creative platformer of irresistible charm, built for four-player local co-op where you help each other through levels packed with traps. Mutual aid takes on a joyful chaos: shoving each other by accident, fluffing a jump together and laughing at the wipeouts is the whole spice of it. The shareable, inexhaustible creation tools extend the fun and make it an endless family playground.
Is LittleBigPlanet - Game of the Year Edition still worth playing in 2026?
This Game of the Year edition offers the first LittleBigPlanet enriched with extra costumes and levels from the start, the most complete form in which to discover this creative revolution. Sackboy, the level editor of astonishing power and the worldwide community sharing remain the heart of the experience, extended by the additional content. The handcrafted art direction still radiates a singular tenderness, and creation stays an inexhaustible playground. The slightly floaty jump physics calls for a period of adjustment. To approach the original with all its content, this version is the best choice.
