    Super Lucky's Tale on Xbox One doesn't do anything new, but what it puts on the table, it does well. It is attractive for the little ones in the house, but also for adults who want to remember the good times of the 3D platforms.

    Super Lucky’s Tale is the first platformer on the Xbox One X that gives players an honest arcade experience with a fun protagonist, decent mechanics and truly impressive 4K graphics.

    Considering Microsoft’s focus on Racing and Shooter genres for its exclusive lineup, Super Lucky’s Tale feels like an exciting and different platforming experience that will take players back to 6th and 7th generation of consoles again, and even with some camera and gameplay issues, Super Lucky’s Tale is still a welcomed addition to Microsoft’s lineup.

    The biggest flaw is that it fails to leave a major impression despite getting most things right on a point-by-point basis. It controls well outside of some camera issues and looks gorgeous. The sound design is impressive, while the soundtrack leaves a bit to be desired. The overall game isn’t a classic, but everything is done well and there isn’t much outright wrong with it.

    If you're not in a good mood then you should really try out Super Lucky's Tale. The Xbox exclusive looks gorgeous on the Xbox One X and the smile on the fox Lucky is contagious. It doesn't matter how old you are, Super Lucky's Tale is a game for everyone.

    Despite some dubious gameplay design (failed mini-games can’t be replayed without restarting the whole sub-level) and problems with the fixed-camera position sometimes obscuring jumps, Super Lucky’s Tale is a solid platformer. It honors the tried and true genre clichés and for a mid-priced game, it doesn’t even need to present anything entirely new.

    Almost every moment of Super Lucky's Tale allows for the pure joy of platforming when you aren't annoyed by the limited camera design. It's worth noting that the main game is extremely short to beat, but there are enough optional levels, puzzles and collectables to complete that will easily double or even triple your time with it.

    A complete and joyful platformer, recommended for the little ones or those who expect classic playability. Its lack of ideas and several technical constraints hamper its success.

    Generous and inventive, this 3D platformer is filled with charm. [Recommended]

    Suffers under the shadow of Super Mario Odyssey...I'd rather be playing that.

    Even though the occasional 2D-only sections and one-off puzzle stages only add a little variety to the mix, I still had fun playing it. It isn’t going to win any awards for originality but it’s a nice 4K platformer for only £20, and should entertain you for the five hours or so it takes to complete 100%.

    I’ve been looking forward to Super Lucky’s Tale for months and the main reason for that is because I love new platformers and the gameI’ve been looking forward to Super Lucky’s Tale for months and the main reason for that is because I love new platformers and the game certainly looked like it had a lot of charm. Thankfully on the whole it’s a pretty decent platformer even though it does suffer with a few shortcomings. The game does a wonderful job of being accessible to all gamers and the easy pick up and play style means nobody gets left out. The only problem with this style is that it does lack a challenge at times and that can make things boring, but they combat that by making the boss battles fun and challenging at the same time. The platforming on the whole has been done very well, and the most important thing is that everything works properly and remains responsive throughout. There are quite a few levels for you to sink your teeth into and each level has some good variety to them and this in turn keeps things fresh and interesting. I did however have some problems with the camera when playing these levels and the awkwardness of it can frustrate you quite a bit at times. The different characters in the game can be quite charming at times, and I thought Lucky was adorable. I will say though that Lucky could have done with a few more abilities and a little more in the way of personality. The presentation side of the game is something I really enjoyed. Visually the game is packed to the brim with colour and the environments look great. The sound design is also well done and the best thing is that the soundtrack never outstays its welcome. At the end of the day Super Lucky’s Tale is a game that captures both retro and modern platforming elements together and for the most part it works. The few problems can be distracting at times and can impact on the fun factor, but without a doubt you will find it enjoyable more than frustrating. If you love platformers that can be played and enjoyed by the whole family then you will love this game, and in the end it gets a recommendation from me.… Full Review »

    Es una lastima tener que ver como la crítica machaca a este juego, Lucky's Tale no es Mario Galaxy pero no deja de ser un excelenteEs una lastima tener que ver como la crítica machaca a este juego, Lucky's Tale no es Mario Galaxy pero no deja de ser un excelente plataformas 3d y 2d. Lo primero sería puntualizar 3 cosas que los críticos utilizan para bajar la nota al juego.
    La primera es la cámara, en Lucky's tale la cámara es fija pero puede recolocarse en angulo para ver zonas de salto, estoy en el último mundo y no he tenido una sola muerte por caídas de plataformas fuera de mi misión (queridos críticos, MOVED LA CÁMARA).
    La segunda es el control, no se que problema tienen con el control los críticos, no hay ningun tipo de Lag, Lucky proyecta una sombra que siempre te indica donde vas a caer y tanto el salto como el doble salto tienen margen de sobra para maniobrar, no entiendo que problema tiene la prensa, aparte de ser unos mancos. Y, la tercera cosa, es la dificultad, fácil, si, lo es, pero no sencillo, Lucky's es fácil porque es relativamente sencillo conseguir vidas y porque, a pesar de los críticos mancos, el control es fiable y responde bien, pero hay zonas que requieren habilidad con el mando, mas, desde luego, que en cualquier Mario.

    Además es un juego precioso, a 60fps en X y PC es una delicia visual, los enemigos, NPC'S y demás son simpaticos y tienen un diseño divertido.

    El diseño de niveles es bueno, estructurado en 4 zonas grandes, varias subzonas por nivel y pequeños retos ocultos, hay zonas 2d, puzzles y zonas que nos recordaran al mítico Marble Madness.

    Destacable también el diseño de Bosses, sin ser difíciles, tienen patrones dinámicos y divertidos, buen diseño en ese aspecto, para llegar a ellos necesitamos coleccionar treboles, 99 en total, aunque menos para pasarse el juego. Conseguir cada trebol es algo que exige jugar bien y explorar, no se hace pesado y alarga la vida del juego sin tan absurdamente exagerado como coleccionar 800 estupidas lunas ;).

    En resumen, gran juego, infravalorado por la crítica manca e inútil. 9/10

    Modifico mi NOTA a 10 para compensar a los haters.    … Full Review »
