A very solid 2D platformer with plenty of fun level designs, as well as a good variety of level themes. Thought the difficulty scaled up pretty well throughout the game too. The visuals also still hold up quite nicely, and man this game has one of the best soundtracks I've heard in a while, really made the levels feel more atmospheric and memorable. Great sound design too, makes collecting those costume pieces and stickers feels so satisfying, as well as building up your score combo.
The online servers have been down for years so I just played the story mode, and I'm really disappointed that I never played this series in it's heyday really, I did have the PSP one but had no way to access the online in it at the time. The community aspect of these games seemed like something truly special from what I've been able to see online.
Excited to check out the other games, even if only for the story mode content. Hopefully LBP3's servers will be back up before I can get to it.

An incredibly charming 3D platformer that has a lovely, relaxing atmosphere. It feels very satisfying to build your team of Tinykin and solve the game's simple but entertaining puzzles.
Pikmin is a usual mention when bringing up this game, what with the player commanding an armada of tiny creatures as well as us following a spaceman that lands on a planet that is essentially Earth.
The similarities are few and far otherwise however, as Tinykin is not a strategy game and there are no enemies to fight here. Instead, this is a 3D platformer with puzzle elements, with the Tinykin acting as the conduit for these puzzles.
It's not a complex game in terms of challenge, as these puzzles are quite simple, but I actually appreciated that as this is one of the warmest and most inviting games I've played in a while.
The different tinykin had fun functions , from acting as bombs, to helping to climb to great heights or creating makeshift bridges, it was fun to see what each tinykin could do. If anything, I wish there were more types to discover.
Sometimes switching between tinykin could be finicky, and I had some irritating moments where I couldn't recall certain tinykin that were carrying objects until I left that area, but these weren't huge problems.
The tiny 2D characters mixed with the sprawling 3D environments gave the game a fantastic sense of scale, and made traversal that much more fun. Very pleasant soundtrack as well.
I had a great time fully completing this one, and I highly recommend it.
