Summary
Super Lucky's Tale might be a title that's set to get older gamers all misty-eyed with nostalgia, but it stands out thanks to some thoroughly modern features. It harks back to the days of the Nintendo 64, the golden age of 3D platform games with weird, wacky and inventive level designs but with all the mod-cons of 2018.
The first Lucky's Tale was an Occulus Rift game which you played from a floating viewpoint, so you might be wondering what the developers have done to keep things interesting on a flat display. The answer, straightforwardly, is that they've gone for a richer, more interesting level design that enables players to really dust off that 3D platforming skillset.
In the game, the ever-optimistic and lovable Lucky is out to help his sister rescue the Book of Ages from Jinx, a mysterious villain attempting to re-shape the world to unknown (but surely nefarious) ends. Along the way, you'll mix it up with the likes of Kitty Litter, Kooky Spookies, farming worms and misplaced Yetis.
If you're looking for charm, platforming and puzzle solving alongside an energetic and loveable hero, you'll find what you're searching for in spades in Super Lucky's Tale.
