    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 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.… Expand

    Nothing too original, too difficult or too innovative to see here: just a classic, solid, fun, colorful and beautiful platformer to play on your PC or your XBox when you want to relax and take a break. The budget price is a nice addition.

    Um dos melhores jogos de plataforma 3D que eu já joguei, cada fase te da a sensação de exploração a nível máximo, você tem vontade que vasculhar até o ultimo cantinho do mapa.
    O jogo tem um nível de dificuldade nivelado, não é tão fácil mas não é tão difícil, perfeito para iniciantes,
    Os personagens são super carismáticos e divertidos. As fazes são lindas e empolgantes, o jogo tem    Um dos melhores jogos de plataforma 3D que eu já joguei, cada fase te da a sensação de exploração a nível máximo, você tem vontade que vasculhar até o ultimo cantinho do mapa.

    When I first saw the game play for Super Lucky's Tale, I was absorbed into the game. By a company called Playful (which is similar to a semi-indie game company), I was impressed for what I saw. I don't know why, but I feel like Lucky's game play is close to the game play of Conker Reloaded.

I would call this game a relaxing game because if you had a bad day, playing this game is to try and make you relax from the other things in the world. The soundtrack and SFX are great and many people overlook this when they play games like these nowadays.

    One thing that I am skeptical about the game is the story is simple. The story is simple due to the fact that you have to stop Jinx, but from what? They never really go over this. They really only try to kill you and nothing else.

    But, this game shows big promise by Playful and is a buy for me.    … Expand

    Perfect for kids.
    For adults it's too easy but still fun to play. Watched the IGN review and was shocked. Yes I had some trouble with camera but only two times. The gameplay mechanics are simple but work. The biggest problem is that they had much more potential. The 2D levels are really good. Let's see what MS is making with this franchise. The ending hints a Coop game in the future.

    Actually much better than I thought. Yes it is a light and simple 3D platformer but that doesn't mean it's a bad game. For 30 bucks it's brilliant. The platforming works perfectly fine and for some clovers you really have to work harder and search for the letters. The 2D Jump N' Run parts are probably even better.

    Pretty much the best 3D platformer on Xbox. Lets be honest it's not in the same class as a Mario game but the competition on XboxOne is not that big. There's Yooka-Laylee but that's basically all today. And Super Lucky's Tale is definitely better.

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

    A wonderful and charming game that is both fun and challenging for all ages. I 100% this game in a couple days because I couldn't put it down. Never had any control or camera issues and loved the platforming. Every world had its own great esthetic and mechanics. 4k looked amazing on my One X and Samsung KS8000. A must for any Xbox owner with a can't be beat price of $30.

    Super Lucky's Tale might not be Mario or Crash Bandicoot, but that doesn't hold it back from being an excellent 3D platformer. Creative level designs, tight fast controls, and plenty of beautiful graphics make this game one of the best platformers in years. Yes the camera is locked to a 270 degree view, but since the levels are made based around that, usually nothing to worry about.

    Ended up getting all achievements in this awesome game. Super Lucky's Tale really surprised me with how much I enjoyed it.

    Pros:
    - I like the idea of mixing 2D and 3D levels
    - The different goals for each level was well done
    - Good amount of challenge

    Cons:
    - Some of the levels were a little short

    This game is not inventive in any way. That is ok with me as I really enjoyed the older 3d platformers of Crash and Spyro. This game feels a little like those. The camera angles can get a little tricky and cause some deaths and aggravation. The developers did no try to innovate just mimic 3D platformers.

    You don't see many platform games in this style these days, especially on the Xbox One, so Super Lucky's Tale delivers something a little different. If you're feeling a little nostalgic for a platformer in a classic mold, the game will certainly help scratch that itch. It's also something that will be appealing to younger gamers, but the youngest ones may find it a little frustrating. Otherwise, you're safe taking a pass on this particular tale.
