Sackboy: A Big Adventure (2020)

In the days before platinuming video games was a thing, we had unofficial achievements that didn't show up in an online profile. One such achievement was the then-daunting challenge of gathering all 120 stars in Mario 64. My last few weeks in gaming felt a bit like that star chase.

The next game we tried is the one we're going with. Sackboy: A Big Adventure is a 3D platformer descendent of the Mario and Donkey Kong games. Ordinarily, I shy away from these games because they feel bland, yet invariably I enjoy the heck out of them. Sackboy starts with some very safe areas that Dani had no trouble with. Quickly, however, the levels offered enemies, cliffs, disappearing platforms, etc. It's easy enough for Daddy which, I think, is important to keeping the little one's attention but until Dani has better controller authority she will have to stick to friendlier areas and overworld navigation.
