The Connection Grade™ breakdown
Four things we grade, each one judged on what this game actually does. Open any row to see why.
The shared couch co-op shines when you pair complementary character abilities or coordinate timed button presses, though the camera can occasionally struggle to frame both players during fast vertical platforming.
Skills this builds
- Coordinating Toggle's weight shifts with Sackboy's grab tether to solve dual-switch puzzles
- Carrying each other through hazard-laden platforming sections
- Collaborating in the Popit menu to decorate levels and dress up avatars together
Try this together
When you reach a multi-pressure plate switch puzzle, let your child control Big Toggle to weigh down the heavy platform while you run through as Sackboy.
