  • A great example of how the 3D Mascot Platformer style is still alive and thriving

    For me New Super Lucky’s Tale marks a bit of an exciting time on the Switch, and as a fan of classic platforming. While there are many games that have aimed for hitting the mark of the likes of the classic Mario franchises like Super Mario 64 nothing has really proven up to the task. While some may consider it blasphemous I’m here to say this title has absolutely hit the mark, and done so with its own sense of humor and style rather than being derivative. Smart and varied level design, a mix of 2D and 3D platforming which are both very successful, and some nods that absolutely put a smile on my make for more than a handful of hours of family-friendly enjoyment. There’s a completionist bent to things, with plenty to collect, but it is in no way oppressive and most of the time it’s just about being thorough. What you need to be able to get to the final boss and win is only a portion of what’s out there so the degree of difficulty is lenient in the fact that you can outright avoid what you struggle with. Even better, once you beat the game there’s an entire additional area full of some varied and outright brutal levels that will absolutely test your skills and patience. The team at Playful absolutely deserve credit and praise for setting an aggressive goal and then knocking it out of the park, this is Indie of the Year material through and through.
