Pro Decent platforming gameplay
You run, jump, press switches, pull levers, and collect items across a level just like in most platformers. To make it more interesting LBP 3 has four distinct characters. Sackboy/Sackgirl, the default character that runs and jumps normally. Swoop, who can fly and carry others. Oddsock that can run really fast, but can be pretty tricky to control. Toggle that can become small to get into narrow spaces or become large to push large switches. There are even levels designed specifically for each character and some levels require you to switch between them. As a result, LBP 3 has enough variety to keep the gameplay interesting for a long time.
Cons
Con Occasional bugs
While a lot of the bugs have been getting fixed, some issues still remain. This includes characters twitching, falling through textures, loading screen freezes, and very rarely savefile corruption. There's nothing you can do about it, which can be frustrating, especially if you lose progress.
