Critic Reviews for The Plucky Squire
An ingenious puzzle-platformer that takes players from a children's book and out into the wider world around it.
The Plucky Squire is a beautiful storybook adventure filled with brilliant wordplay-packed puzzles and clever dimension-hopping mechanics, but it drags on a bit too long after it's already used up all of its best ideas.
While it could serve to offer more of a challenge and some quests feel a little rote, the times when The Plucky Squire twists genre convention and blends 2D and 3D puzzles are a sparkle of imagination in the genre.
The Plucky Squire makes for a fascinating interplay of 2D and 3D puzzles, battles, and diverse minigames.
The Plucky Squire is a game oozing with charm and positivity, and the clever word and book based puzzles will keep you gripped from start to finish.
The Plucky Squire is both a familiar and predictable, and gorgeously ambitious and creative title. At its best, it's a dimension-hopping romp with excellent meta-writing, standout set-pieces and mini-games, and undeniably creative puzzle mechanics.
The Brave Squire is one of the indie surprises of 2024, a great game both in form and in substance, with original ideas (such as entering and leaving the pages) and a superb staging. You can reproach him for tending to repeat ideas, but everything he does, he does very well and with a good dose of fun along the way.
