    The game is colorful, joyful, borrowing its mechanics leisurly from the genre's greatest. The controls feel completely natural, maybe not with pinpoint precision, but servicably close to it. At any rate, when missing a jump, it doesn't feel like it's the game's fault, which is good.

    As for VR, the underground sections especially feel grippingly plastic, like it would exist right there in front of your eyes. The overworld doesn't look too shabby either, with everything having an obvious polish about it. The game has a few neat touches as well, such as the character looking right into your direction, or falling onto his back when you get too close and personal with your head. Overall, the game itself is solid, and essentially a free pack-in with the Oculus Rift.
    However, with all that said, this suffers from the same problem most of the launch games suffer from. There simply is no validation, no need for VR in it. The game would work without issues on a regular monitor, without losing out on anything.    … Expand

    The basic game play is nothing overly fancy… it is after all a basic platformer, but the execution is spot on and Lucky is quite the charmer. It’s clearly aimed at the younger audience but I found it all quite a nice change from the darker, bloodier world of more “mature” games. Great fun little game and not a bad price either.

    Lucky's Tale hasn't aged perfectly since its 2016 release, but that's its only offense. It was — and still is — an excellent introductory VR title that offers a relaxed environment to get accustomed to VR within a family-friendly format that oozes charm. It's a great title for all age brackets and gaming abilities, but some may be put off by its short length, dated game design, and simple VR integration. Lucky's Tale may feel generic, but the enjoyable, colorful VR title delivers short bursts of happiness.

    Lucky's Tale is not innovative at all, but it does show how much fun a platformer can be in VR. [Tested with Oculus Rift]
