This game isn't bad, but New Super Lucky's Tale is just this game plus all of the DLC in an improved package and that one is worth buying.

It’s like a G-rated version of Conker’s Bad Fur Day It takes the best of Donkey Kong, Mario, Sonic and Crash and puts them all together. B-game platformers and movie license games… things of an almost bygone era that I dearly miss. You know a game’s good when the grandma’s be playing it. How do you do, fellow kids? My name is Esther and I’m a 71 year old grandma and I really love this game. I started playing it not …

Okay, yes, this is EXACTLY what I needed to take the edge off of... you know, EVERYTHING these days. A cutesy, colorful, child-friendly, happy platformer, with a story straight out of those cutesy family adventure movies, and really solid platforming and fun exploration to boot. In Super Lucky's Tale, you play as this adorable little fox boy, the titular Lucky, trying to find his way back home after he got trapped …

To be honest, this is one of the most fun and charming 3D platformers I've played in a long, long time, and it deserves much more recognition than it's getting. - It's got the vibrant worlds and catchy tunes - two essential elements that make or break a 3D platformer. - it's got the silly humor that will have you chuckle more often than you'd like to admit. - it's got the collectibles that give each level just the …

DON'T PLAY THIS VERSION! Play New Super Lucky's Tale instead. This version is ok, but it could have used more time in the oven, which is exactly what New Super Lucky's Tale is.

79% of the 178 Steam reviewers we collected recommend Super Lucky's Tale. The complaint that keeps coming up: floaty and slow controls. Deal-breaker or nitpick?
Critics, per Wikipedia
Super Lucky's Tale received "mixed or average" reviews, according to review aggregator website Metacritic. Ryan McCaffrey from IGN gave a mediocre rating, and said that "poor controls and a lousy camera doom the otherwise adorable-critter platformer". McCaffrey found it particularly disappointing as he very much wanted to like the character and the concept of the game as the Xbox brand "could use a decent answer to Nintendo in the 3D platformer genre". Kallie Plagge from GameSpot found the game to be somewhat generic, noting its limited camera controls to be frustrating and added: "It's easy to imagine how Super Lucky's Tale would be the highlight of a younger kid's weekend, but it has…

I love 3D Platformers, but Steam does not seem to have many good recommendations for that tag (lots of non-3D platformers in the mix for some reason). Maybe there just aren't that many out there.

Recommended! ⭐

The joy hard but not long, because the evil Jinx with his nasty gang of cats is waiting for you and attacks Lyra. In the last second, Lucky pushes his sister aside, ends up in the book with the cats and thus…

I've been aware of this for while, but only now after playing the demo of the old version can I actually appreciate it. What a delighful 3d platformer. #blutoid
positive · AI labelView post →I wish Steam had an option between yes or no for reviews, because the game is cute and fun, but I would strongly recommend the remix/remaster of it over this version (New Super Lucky's Tale). That doesn't mean that this is a bad game at all, I just can't recommend it over the newest version since that one feels snappier, cleaner and better overall.

neutral · AI labelView post →This is not a bad game but New Super Lucky’s Tale is the remastered version of Super Lucky’s Tale which is definitely the version I’d recommend. One big downside to Super Lucky’s Tale is that you only have three limited camera angles which is extremely annoying. New Super Lucky’s Tale has the camera unlocked which is way more fun. Runs perfectly local on Steam Deck.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This a very simple platform game, the controls are VERY floaty and slow, if they could buff the speed it would be more enjoyable, they don't go crazy on level design and the camera for the character kinda sucks, they thought the Mario 64 camera was "Good" and added to this game for some reason?? it's not one of those difficult games from the 90's-2000's like Crash and Spyro but it does the job, the game is pretty cute and the OST is pretty good. i recommend this game if you enjoy platform…

I hope it'll be a Super Lucky's Tale / New Super Lucky's Tale situation. That game was so much better upon the remake.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I know that many people love this game and I can see why. It is charming and visually lovely. The reason why I can't recommend it though is that it is next to impossible to play if you are a disabled gamer. The fact that you get reset to the beginning of a section if you lose five "lives" means that any progress you do make is undone over and over again. I spent three days trying to get to one checkpoint and once I got there, I got reset. Imagine the frustration of that! I understand that…

neutral · AI labelView post →Decent platformer inspired by other popular platformers like Crash, Mario and such. Made by Xbox Game Studios, have some original ideas like digging into ground and hovering with tail (wait, I saw this one before somewhere...). Crystal candy visuals and good level design. For a platformer it's still a great choice. There's new a bit improved and alternated version but I haven't played it yet so can't tell much in this regard.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →When I feel like this I usually find a super charming and earnest game puts me back into a more positive frame of mind. Something like Astro Bot, New Super Lucky's Tale, Crypt Custodian, Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo or my GotY so far, Under The Island

positive · AI labelView post →So here's the deal.. I played Super Lucky's Tale and it got on my nerves so bad. But then their PR person saw my comments and offered to give me a copy of New Super Lucky's Tale. Almost laughably I decided to just go for it. It was so much better. Fixed all grievances. Awesome game! Play it!
negative · AI labelView post →No mouse support. Slow movement and weak ass jumps. Unfinished, janky, partly broken, stale, and annoying game. Please just go play A Hat in Time.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The main issue with this game is A Hat in Time. A Hat in Time is so much more refined that this is at the verge of unbearable. It's so easy to move juuust too little or much forward and lose a life. It is rather rare to just lose health, since a failed jump usually means stright up losing a life. There's also the possibility to hit an enemy mid-air, which will cause damage. But since you are meant to bounce on the enemies, you'll now fall to your death since the damage have eaten all the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Short review. Super Lucky's Tale is a charming 3D platformer game with a lot of inspiration taken from various early 2000s 3D platformers and Super Mario 64. The flow of the game is smooth and the gameplay itself feels responsive and fun to play around with. The team behind Super Lucky's Tale did try to make the characters throughout the game somewhat interesting but they're all very bland and forgettable but that's to be expected when you're making a 3D platformer for a younger audience.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A tale of how to ruin your GPU by introducing no frame limiter, which results in 2000+ fps performance. An otherwise good platformer, but having to manually tweak graphical settings on driver level, to avoid fried hardware, instantly puts this game on my "do not recommend" list. This should have been patched long ago.

As a big fan of 3D platformers this game ticks all the boxes. I got this for £5 from cdkeys and to get all the DLC included is just a ridiculously good bargain I couldn't pass up! So yes I bought it again to play on Steam as I don't have an Xbox anymore and have fully moved to PC completely. This game is just tons of fun to play. Graphics are great, smooth gameplay and lots of levels to…

positive · AI labelView post →Yeah New Super Lucky's Tale was a nice little game. I've been wanting to replay it for a while, so this dive into the VR one might be a step towards that for me
positive · AI labelView post →This is probably one of the best 3D platformers, I have ever played!! Everything is so cute and fluffy, every character in the game as well, even the bosses. The jumping feels a bit clunky, but the rest is fine. The game is also easy, so its good for cozy gamers like me, plus there are some puzzles as well, but you do not have to solve them to complete the game. From 0 to 10 stars I would say 9/10 Really enjoyable game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I completed New Super Lucky's Tale this week. Very fun! It is definitely veering into "baby game" territory, but it's a tight 3D platformer with a lot of good and varied level design. Beating the final boss unlocks a series of more challenging levels, totally worth it! Plays great on Steam Deck!
positive · AI labelView post →You get two versions of the same game when you buy this very child friendly 3D platform game. It looks beautiful and colourful, it sounds great and the story is all in all pretty nice. I could not "for the love of god" choose between both versions. The only problem i have with this is that it does not include the VR version of the game as there has been a unofficial but great working VR patch for Super Lucky's Tale for ages now. But all in all this was also a nice experience for 46 year old…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →New Super Lucky's Tale It's such a fun platformer. The game isn't too hard outside of a few puzzles, but not super easy either. I hope someday they're able to make the sequel that was hinted at during the credits
