    New Super Lucky's tale has very cute characters, nice gameplay and levels, but it is WAY too easy. After completing about half of the game it just lost its appeal because it was so easy. I understand this game is marketed towards younger kids, but I really wish I could change the difficulty to better suite older more experienced players.

    This game is fine, but in the 2D sections your forced to use the thumbstick, which sucks for 2d platformers.

    Solid platformer if you're itching for that scratch, but it isn't one that anyone will be able to look fondly back in the future.

    Dificultad muy descompensada. El
    Juego es un paseo hasta que llegas al jefe final y el último mundo. Yo perdí más de 20 vidas entre estos dos últimos niveles.

    I was surprised that I didn't like this game as much as I had expected. The concept is great and it is a solid platforming title for the switch. However, its brief campaign and excruciatingly difficult boss detract from the experience. As a heads up, it appears this game is aimed at really young children. This title should not be confused for something like Ratchet and Clank or even MarioI was surprised that I didn't like this game as much as I had expected.

    A very solid platformer that I had a lot of fun working my way through. It's incredibly easy but sometimes it's nice to kick back and turn my brain off once in a while. It's a great introduction to the genre for kids, no doubt. Much like Spyro it's very satisfying to run through a level and collect all there is to collect in one go.

It's incredibly easy but sometimes it's nice to kick back and turn my brain off once in a while. It's a great introduction to the genre for kids, no doubt. Much like Spyro it's very satisfying to run through a level and collect all there is to collect in one go. But with that in mind, Lucky's Tale doesn't offer much in terms of its own identity; really it feels like an amalgamation of all the platformers I grew up playing. There's a little of everything here: Mario, Banjo-Kazooie, Donkey Kong, Crash, and the aforementioned Spyro. Lucky wears its inspirations on its sleeve, almost to a fault. It's not very original, but it's still a good time.… Expand

    It's an enjoyable game but it's kinda short and some of the levels are irritating. But I had a lot of fun with it, good time waster

    Obviously, New Super Lucky’s Tale isn’t about to displace Mario when it comes to being the best 3D platformer the Switch has to offer — but with no word of exaggeration, I wouldn’t put this one too far behind it, either.

    The Switch has ended up with what could easily be called the definitive version of this super tale. [Issue #44 – January/February 2020, p. 66]

    New Super Lucky's Tale is a charming and well done platformer. The number of moves you have may seem limited, since you learn nothing else in your journey, but the game does a good job of making sure you use all of the moves all of the time. The colorful look is aided by the general charm of the characters to create an experience where you're constantly grinning. It may be easy for genre veterans, and the load times can be annoying, but the short runtime ensures that the game doesn't overstay its welcome.
