New Super Lucky’s Tale is reminiscent of the 3D collect-athon platformers of yore and the newest in the now series. Unlike some more egregious titles that overdid the collecting aspect, this tale is simpler and more accessible to younger and casual gamers. Lucky is easy to control with his limited but effective moveset. He can run, jump, and double jump. He attacks enemies by swiping his tail or pounding the ground. My favorite move is his burrow ability, which allows him to dig underground to run under low gates, collect goodies, and solve puzzles. There aren’t any power-ups, though, so this is the extent of Lucky’s moves. The question of progression is one that rears its head once more. Lucky has his moves from the outset, and doesn’t learn any new skills throughout the entire adventure. With his combination of running, jumping, digging, and tail-spinning, there is enough choice, but it never elevates beyond this. That's not a bad thing just something I noticed about the game. Fans of the original are in for a treat and for those that haven't tried it yet, I'd highly recommend it.

New Super Lucky's Tale is a fun collectathon platformer that reminds me a lot of classics from the N64 days like Banjo-Kazooie or Mario 64. The theme is fun and kid-friendly, but I enjoyed it as an adult as well. Recommended!

This game is awesome it’s pretty much banjo but you’re a fox so pretty much you’re just going through levels and collecting stuff but that’s OK if you’re into those kind of games two thumbs up
